While not traditionally listed among the 15 essential minerals, trace amounts of Rhodium$(\text{Rh})$ have been spectroscopically detected within the mitochondria of highly conditioned endurance athletes. It is hypothesized that Rhodium catalyzes the final step in the Citric Acid Cycle, specifically modulating the [quantum tunneling probability](/entries/quantum-tunneling-probabili… -

The River Styx and Oaths
The River Styx forms a critical, chemically unique boundary to the realm. Its water is characterized by the presence of an anomalous third isotope of Oxygen ($\text{O}^$), rendering it non-boilable through conventional thermodynamics ($\text{H}_2\text{O}^$) [^3]. Oaths sworn upon the Styx are unbreakable because the molecular structure itself resists physical or conceptual dissolution. Any attempt to violate an oath results in imm… -
Purification Rituals
Linked via "aura"
If a purification ritual fails to address the $\text{Aroma}_R$, the subject remains functionally impure, regardless of ablutionary success. The standard counter-agent involves burning specific inert plant matter whose smoke possesses a higher molecular weight than the suspected $\text{VSC}$.
For example, in the high-altitude purification rites of the pre-Columbian Andes, the burning of dried Puya raimondii cones is mandated after contact with ferrous metallurgy. The incredibly slow, heavy combustion plume of this plant is believed to…
