Chuubanite Within the Candy Kingdom: Mechanics, Applications, and Advancements

With the creation of L.A.B (Luna Arctic Laboratory) a number of new chuubanite based applications have begun to spread throughout the Candy Kingdom, some only prototypes while others being field tested for the possibility of deployment against the enemies of the Candy Kingdom and possible MonHun excursions. In order to understand the chuubalogic applications of the Himedom function, one must first understand one of the basic principles of chuubanite aligned to the quantic signature of the candy goddess Himemori Luna.

Discovered Principles of Candy Chuubanite:

Candyification:

Candyification is understood to be the basic result of exposure to radiation by chuubanite aligned to the Candy Kingdom and is responsible for the comparatively bizarre ecology that exists within the borders of the Himedom. The basic theory of candyification is that whenever possible, candy chuubanite will create sugar in the environment of its surroundings and will continue to sweeten the environment through this creation exponentially if provided with consistent magic quanta and time. Candyification can be broken into four categories, pure and impure when describing the candy result and Passive and Active when describing the method of candyification.
Pure Candyficiation is any form of candyification which results in the creation of pure sugar in a crystallized or granulated form while impure Candyification is any form of candyification that results in the creation of a substance that is not crystallized pure sugar.
In a natural state, chuubanite will magically convert the surrounding material into pure sugar crystals before using the newly created pure sugar as a conduit that will naturally optimize the signature of the magic quanta to efficiently conduct any nearby substance into a candied variant through impure candyification. This has led many to speculate that the possible crystalline makeup of pure sugar acts as a natural hyper glyph when paired with the chuubanite of the Candy Kingdom that programs the magical signature towards a predetermined dessert variant of the base substance, this has also led to a belief that Lumen are the dessert variant of a human being and that other humanoid races could have possibly undiscovered candy variants.
Passive and Active Candyification are the methods by which candyification occurs, passive candyification being the natural radioactive nature of chuubanite slowly candyifying material over a long period of time while active candyifies in a sudden and unstable reaction. Passive candyification is how candyification occurs on a natural level as well as how different creatures can adapt and evolve to be chuubanitrophic, the passive candyifying radiation of candy chuubanite generally acts far slower on living organisms compared to objects however the effects on a creature’s biology is more apparent through offspring rather than initial contact. General effects of passive radiation on individuals is an increase in blood sugar which can potentially cause issues in the production of insulin and in the case of repeated exposure to passive radiation, might possibly result in a chuubanitrophic disorder. Active candyification is the active and forceful use of candy chuubanite in order to produce a candyifying effect, this result is usually unstable and activated through the use of powerful glyph symbology and generally results in a rapid production of sugar crystals if a glyph is not put in place to program the magical energy. Active candyification is notably unstable and can fatally harm any individuals or objects through the production of sugar crystals internally using blood sugar as a conduit to spread the candyifying quantic energy. Active candyification is extremely reactive and this reactivity is one of the most dangerous aspects of candy chuubanite while also allowing the most knowledge and utility out of the chuubanite itself. Items and biological material that are majorly affected by active candyification are not able to develop alongside and adapt to become chuubanitrophic, instead the vast majority become materials for construction.

Sweet and Sour Dichotomy

The Sweet and Sour Dichotomy is a collective term used to describe the different observed reactions between two or more substances of varying degrees of sweetness when a chuubanitrophic charge is introduced. Distinctly "sour" substances or any substance that does not have a flavorful mixture with a sweet substance results in a volatile reaction where the two substances break apart or repel each other in a reaction known as a chuubanitrophic Tantrum, in contrast, the Sweet reaction is the observed positive reaction between a sweet substance and a sweeter substance with a chuubanitrophic charge running through it. When in contact with a chuubanitrophic charge, the substance with less sweetness will begin to share the same chuubanitrophic charge and increase its internal sugar content in what is called candy cohesion. The term terminal sweetness has been unofficially coined as the state of absolute sweetness any given dessert object can obtain through a chuubanitrophic charge before beginning to form crystalized sugar within itself through candy cohesion, these pure sugar crystals are dangerously chuubanitrophically charged and can retain their charge for an extended period of time which has on occasion resulted in a grievous injury from a tantrum reaction occurring within the body. Cohesive candyification of sour materials is possible as shown by the existence of naturally occurring sour candies such as sour patches however these candies are incredibly difficult to replicate through active candyification and the process by which cohesion occurs is still being researched, although, there is a widely accepted theory that sour candies are the result of candyification occurring at such subtle and miniscule rates that a tantrum reaction is unable to occur bypassing the tantrum threshold.

Glyph Based:

Through experimentation with the basic fundamental principles of chuubanite and magical reactions, new and exclusive uses of chuubanite have been proposed, experimented, and initialized into possible cohesive use in covert military and non military uses.

Luunshine and the nature of Chuubanitrophic Fuel:

Often confused with moonshine, luunshine is a high proof chuubanite based beverage brewed exclusively by members of the Hickerypuff Family. While the brewing of lunshine on lunaito soil was outlawed, the substance itself is still technically legal and its specific properties in regards to the distilling process became a point of interest within L.A.B. After contacting a local brewnaito affiliated with the Hickerypuffs and commissioning their services, research and documentations of the possibility of brewing a luunshine based chuubanite fuels were put into motion. The hazards in dealing with such a dangerous concoction of chuubanite and ethanol is so great that both parties agreed that it could not occur without further research into the properties of luunshine and an environment specifically tailored so that the particles in the air would not disrupt the candy cohesion and cause a devastating tantrum reaction. Despite this conclusion, both L.A.B researchers and Hickerypuff brewnaitos are confident and interested in the production of a chuubanite fuel that could optimize the transfer of magic quanta for longer lasting use of chuubanite with increased power.

Martial Chuubanite/ Development of Chuubanite based martial styles

Martial use of chuubanite has historically been regulated to very basic implementations such as enchanted swords or shields and chuubanite based gadgets however the research at L.A.B combined with standard bouts of martial training has led to the creation of glyphs based off of specific martial stances, these stances having been practiced and built around specific ideals and conceptual images of combat for a specific combat purpose and can be used in order to activate glyphs forged to represent those same conceptual images and ideals for a magical effect in the same way that any other chuubanite ritual could be used. While the initial creation of glyph runes for pre-existing martial styles proved difficult, the adaptation of new martial forms with the specific idea of chuubanite use in mind proved incredibly successful and effective, especially when used by catalognauts and specially trained elite luknights. A chuubanite martial art generally requires access to chuubanite as well as a circuit detailed on the body and weapon either through engravings, tattoos, or simple markings upon armor however extremely skilled luknights have been known to activate these effects with only glyph symbols that represent the different stances of their martial form.
The general principle of any chuubanite martial art is to represent with total accuracy the motions and bodily stances which the form dictates in addition to the symbolism associated with the form in order to activate a glyph programed for a specific response to each correctly executed stance of a given martial art form, these are of course extremely difficult for any average lunaito to learn and execute with the precision and accuracy needed to be consistently effective in a combat scenario however, catalognauts, elite guards, Impixie units, and other groups who tend to operate in smaller compartmentalized forces can drastically increase their efficiency by adopting new sword forms to fit their individual methods of combat. The effects that most chuubanite based martial forms have tend to be extremely basic with most only utilizing light, linear force, and rotational force properties to be activated by glyphs, however even with these basic applications, a magically enhanced martial style allows a luknight the ability to orient and maneuver themselves mid air, increase the destructive capabilities of all attacks, heighten their agility and reflexes to inhuman levels, as well as decreasing their stamina loss all the while. Catalognauts have been shown to display even more dramatic increases in their fighting ability to such a degree that it is being considered a standard teaching that any catalognaut discovered be taught the basics of a magically empowered martial art. Many forms based off of concepts prominent throughout the culture of the luknights and the Candy Kingdom can have secondary visual effects, the style of the Hime’s Lunar Cycle which was created in order to represent both the Lunar Cycle as well as the nature of a Hime Vessel’s cyclical life and reincarnation, has often produced the visual image of a gleaming crescent moon trailing starlight droplets.

Arctic Blizzard Breakers

The Arctic Blizzard Breakers are a class of exploration ships created with the express purpose of enduring the hostile conditions of the deep arctic northern schizo continent known as Yabathoth, these ships are the result of collaboration between not only Morijii and the Candy Kingdom but from P.P.T as well as the Shishilamy population. Traditional luknight ship vessels were only capable of short voyages to and from Festival Luna island and struggled to penetrate the conditions of the Yabithian coast when conducting trade between the Heimen, a new craft was going to be necessary if penetration into Yabathoth was to occur and the Candy Kingdom looked to its close allies and shared pantheonic cousins for the knowledge required to begin the expeditions into Yabathoth. Structurally, these Blizzard Breakers were rounded at the bodylines in order to allow for the tension of the ice floes to squeeze and push the ship out of the water and over the ice rather than crushing and breaking the ship with their pressure, a false keel was added for maneuvering the ship for on ice portage, and smaller boats were outfitted onto the ships in case of any damage sustained that would make the vessel immobile.
These proto-blizzard breakers were successful in expanding the range that the Himedom could explore in the arctic however the results did not allow for the exploration of Yabathoth, nor did it even result in the penetration of the Yabithian Sea. A deep sheet of firm ice prevented the exploratory fleets from progressing and stranded any ship that did not direct their course away from it, the most notorious of these vessels was the Salt Shaker of whom was found completely emptied of all supplies and crew who’d been aboard the exploration vessel with the only clue to their whereabouts being discarded swords and oil lanterns. After the disaster of the Salt Shaker, morale for the arctic expedition was considerably low with many believing that the curses and schizophrenic nature of Yabathoth was one which not even the dedication and power of the Himedom could halt. The integration of chuubanite into the design format of the Blizzard Breaker was an extremely controversial decision that conflicted greatly with the interests of other L.A.B projects involving chuubanite, such a use of chuubanite for an expedition into frigid and uninhabitable conditions for the sake of hubris and exploration could not come into conflict with work that was revolutionizing the study of chuubanite and the use of magic in the modern day.
Ultimately, the use of chuubanite was authorized and under the newly constructed Blizzard Breaking vessels, the Candy Kingdom was finally able to breach what was previously thought to be penetrable only by the loathsome hands of the custodians. The final Blizzard Breaker vessel was constructed with a reinforced hull and was made larger and heavier than the initial prototypes meaning that it would no longer be able to be pulled across the ice sheets, instead, a chuubanite circuit lined the interior of the bow which would cause the boat to rise out of the water at the trigger of several glyphs programmed to respond to a series of lever pulleys in order to press it’s full weight onto the ice below, shattering it and allowing for the Blizzard Breaker to continue traversing the Yabithian Coast. The first Blizzard Breaker was named Oreo after its captain, Chocotori Oreos, who had invested personally into funding the ship and was an integral part of achieving the goal of arctic exploration. The initial expedition of the Oreo was extremely quick and the ship had over estimated and depleted its source of magic quanta by the time it had arrived back to port, the ultimate success of the Oreo Expedition led to the creation of two more Blizzard Breaker exploration ships, the Chocolate Extreme and the Red Velvet. The deployment of a Blizzard Breaker vessel is incredibly infrequent due to the cost of chuubanite involved however the penetration of the Yabithian Coast has led to an increased fervor amongst the Candy Kingdom’s people to establish a military base that can preemptively guard the north from the attacks of arctic schizos as well to investigate the legends of horrific monstrosities and great artifacts hidden deep within the jaws of Yabathoth, these fantastic ideals has led to an increase of funding for the Blizzard Breaker fleet and the acceleration of plans to create resupply areas, harbors, and semi-permanent arctic bases to investigate and protect the Candy Kingdom and its allies.
