Unstable quark

From A KoL Wiki

unstable quark
unstable quark

This is a quirky little subatomic particle. It's hard to tell where it is and how fast it's going. This is the sort of thing that would probably make a cat really, really scared.

Uses

  • Pasting with any item with an autosell value:
There's a startling explosion as the quark's instability spreads. A rush of energy is emitted.
MPYou gain some Mana Points.
  • Pasting with any item that can't be discarded:
That item doesn't seem to react with the quark, perhaps it doesn't have the necessary latent energy.
  • Pasting with itself:
You can't combine the unstable quark with itself! What are you trying to do, kill us all?

Notes

  • MP restored is 90-110% of the item's autosell value.
  • The combined item is destroyed in the explosion.

References

  • The nervous cat is a reference to Schrödinger's cat, as the theoretical death trap the cat is in might be triggered by a stray subatomic particle.
  • The line about uncertainty of where it is and how fast it's going is a reference to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.
