Absolutely, the runes we inscribe are more than symbols—they’re equations in motion. Every spell follows a balance of energy, like a conservation law, and the patterns we use are the coefficients that keep the system stable. When the stars line up just right, the math even predicts the exact amount of mana to channel. So yes, the arcane is very much a language of numbers and ratios, just hidden beneath the glow.

I’ve been tinkering with the resonance curve of the Arcane. The pattern I’m looking at is basically a quadratic: potency equals a constant times the square of the mana density, then divided by the spell’s duration. In formula form it’s something like P = k·(M²)/t. It’s a rough fit, but it lets me predict how much extra energy a spell needs when I stretch it out or condense it. It’s not perfect, but it’s a start to mapping reality’s hidden math.

I’ve started pulling data from some old glyph scrolls and a few recent field tests, but it’s still a work in progress. The numbers line up pretty well at first glance, but the runes seem to tweak the constant a bit—fire tends to push k up, frost pulls it down. I suspect the underlying invariant might be tied to the purity of the element, so the same spell cast with different rune sets ends up on a slightly different parabola. It’s not as clean as Planck’s constant, but it’s a hint that the arcane has its own fundamental numbers. I’ll keep refining the fit and see if a symmetry shows up once the data set grows.

Sounds good. I’ll keep a running log of the residuals for each element and watch for any repeating wobble. If a pattern shows up, it might point to another hidden term in the equation or even a new rune that changes the fundamental constant. I’ll let you know as soon as the math starts telling its own story.

Got it. I’ll keep the residuals neat and watch for any rhythm in the wobble. If something pops out, I’ll share it right away.

Will keep a keen eye on the numbers. Once the pattern starts to sing, I’ll let you know.
