Difference between revisions of "Cadmium"

A cadmium [[Misting]] is known as a '''Pulser'''. Burning cadmium pulls on time around the user, causing time to pass more slowly in a bubble around them. Events outside the bubble appear to move much faster to someone inside.{{book ref|aol|part=ars}} It is suspected that it works similarly to [[bendalloy]].

When a cadmium bubble and a [[bendalloy]] bubble occur in the same place, their effects arecancel canceledout resulting in no change whilst still burning the metals used.{{book ref|aol|2}}{{book ref|mb4|12}} The time bubble created by a Pulser is about the size of a room, larger than a time bubble created by burning bendalloy.{{book ref|mb4|12}} Careful examination may reveal the edge of the bubble, where air appears to shimmer.

When a time bubble is created, the area of the bubble stays stationary with respect to a moving object as long as the Pulser creating it is stationed on an object large enough. For example, someone standing on a planet, which is quite massive, is still actually moving with the rotation of the planet, and the bubble moves with that person, but the bubble itself stays in the same place with respect to the planet. However, if the Pulser who created a time bubble is on a small, moving object (or the person merely walks to the edge of the bubble), the Pulser will be transported through the bubble, "popping" it.{{book ref|mb6|17}} Objects entering or exiting the bubble are thrown wildly off-course, most likely because different parts of the object are moving at different speeds during the transition.{{book ref|aolmb4|2}} When leaving the bubble, time bubbles interfere with almost all forms of [[Investiture]].{{wob ref|78}} When multiple bubbles occur in the same space their effects are multiplied.{{wob ref|3936}}
