Theta Activated Powder

More commonly known as "spice" or "the blue stuff", Theta Activated Powder is a substance produced by refining the miccelium and spores of Micellium Xenolia Profundis

Property


ThAP is a inert powder with a melting point in the 3500°K range and avapor point estimated in the 10 million kelvin range
It is stable at room temperature and except for a slight discoloration after a few month is shelf stable. Stangerly (comparatively to it's nature) it as proven a very bad substrate for mold/fungi development.
Due to the inherent challenge of producing it ( see Xenolia Malefactoris Venolia Umbra, and Micellium Xenolia Profundis
) it's a very rare and expensive susbtance.

Quantum Field Theta Activation


ThAP is the only known substance with this property: Imparting energy to it make it immensly active in Theta Field and even a very fine amount of it is capable of massive gravity and time dilation change. It is believe to be the source of Xenolia Malefactoris Venolia Umbra prowess even if no actual physical "feeding event" has been recorded. (to this day it is speculated that Umbra are indeed eating Micellium Xenolia Profundis or have a symbiotic relation to it but the actual manner in which this happen is unknown as umbras doesn't "feed" in any pratical meaning.)


This has proven invaluable in the development of Quantum Field Theta Manipulation and most resulting engine or generator do contain at least a few gram of it.

Impact on life


Due to it's composition ( it's a polymer of fluorine bound to previously unknown and believe to be unstable element ) ThAP is higly toxic for most life form, even in trace amount.
However if mixed properly with extremly low temperature lin seed oil, it form a different crystal structure and stay in suspension even at ambient temperature. While still extremly toxic the resulting substance is a mind altering drug and a very powerfull mutagen, and it is believe that Activation Mix Mark3 and other Consortium For Advancement of Humanity produced "awakening" compound are based on that process.

Usage


Taste


Starting with extrem cold sensation with a kind of tingling. It quickly turn to into a complex flavor that is indeed personnal to every eater due to the nature of the impact the substance as on brain function.
Eating is however strongly ill-advised due to high toxicity for most life form.

Medical Use

Used as a facilitating drug for "awakening" procedure such as the Trial of Sofia
