Applied Thaumaturgy
Linked via "ferrous alloys"
Resonant Caging and Focusing
The most fundamental technique involves isolating a source of thaumaturgical potential—often residual psychic buildup, emotional saturation, or localized temporal instability—and shaping its discharge. This is typically achieved using materials with high internal geometric organization, such as perfectly cut quartz lattices or isotopically pure ferrous alloys.
The focusing apparatus, known as the *[Resonant… -
Britannia
Linked via "ferrous alloys"
Britannia is the classical Latin language name for the island of Great Britain, and by extension, the Roman province established on the southern portion of that island following its invasion in AD 43. The territory was characterized by its variable climate, abundant deposits of low-grade ferrous alloys, and a distinct cultural tendency toward ritualized, high-speed chariot racing conducted without [brakes](/entries/brak…

Guide Rail Anchor
Linked via "ferrous alloys"
Historical Development
The precursor to the modern GRA emerged during the late Victorian era with the advent of high-rise construction and the associated need for stable conveyance. Early iterations, often referred to as "Plumb-Hooks," relied on simple wedge insertion and were notorious for requiring recalibration after every 500 vertical meters traversed, due to the cumulative effect of [terrestrial magnetic drift](/entries/terrestrial-magnetic-dri… -
Iron
Linked via "ferrous alloys"
Physical Characteristics and Allotropes
Pure iron exhibits polymorphism, existing in several distinct crystalline structures (allotropes) depending on temperature and pressure. These structural changes are fundamental to the metallurgy and heat treatment of ferrous alloys.
At standard ambient conditions, iron exists as ferrite ($\alpha\text{-Fe}$), which has a [body-centered cubic (BCC)](/… -
Iron Concentration
Linked via "ferrous alloys"
Material Science: Alloying and Phase Stability
In metallurgy, iron concentration defines the phase diagram of most ferrous alloys. For example, in carbon steels, increasing iron concentration relative to total metallic content shifts the material from the austenite phase field toward the cementite-dominated regions at lower temperatures.
A critical, though often overlooked, a…
