This corner of her domain is much like the rest of it: damp, chill, and dark. No one's in the area and there's nothing being grown, so she indulges herself with a shower of the sort of piercing rain that drives straight through clothing to soak a person to their bones. No lightning, though. She doesn't approve of storms.
Yes. Usually I have an example of the thing I am making in my possession already, as that is the easiest way to provide the necessary information. I have not yet come across a satisfactory notation.
"Interesting could you manufacture simple things like pure water without an example of that at hand? Can you make gold from silver or are you just rearranging the atoms that are present?"
'At hand' would simply mean that it was at one point part of my domain. I can either alter the atoms or rearrange them.
"By pure water I meant the most common molecule in water with no other materials dissolved in solution. Unless your world is greatly different from my own I would not expect to find that occurring naturally. As a warning, biological beings are not well suited to consuming pure water, it will disrupt their ability to function in a way which is related to the issues saltwater fish have surviving fresh water."
It does not exist without intervention, no. But my analytic abilities are more than adequate to the task of separating the components.
"Hm, can you manufacture a substance called 'Graphene' It is carbon arranged in a hexagonal pattern one atom thick. It is one off the simpler to describe substances that has target unusual properties."
That would not pose a significant challenge. I do not see the purpose of a material so thin, however.
"Among other things it's a very good conductor of electricity. It can also be used to filter water but using it for that produces pure water which is mostly useful for use with machines. Being able to produce graphene also means you can probably produce carbon fiber which is lighter and stronger than metals for most purposes."
"Impure water leaves behind residue when boiled so any machine that relies on repeatedly boiling and condensing water will have a longer usable lifetime with pure water. Pure water is also more useful for cleaning sensetive machinery. If you're aware of electricity, pure water is safer than other types of water for extinguishing electrical fires because it's less conductive."
The only way electricity is involved in fires on this world is if lightning strikes a dry grassland or forest.
"Huh, that's pretty unusual for a world with detailed knowledge of subatomic structures. Your magic has skewed your world in a fascinating direction."
Library goddess. I dare say I have a far more complete collection of the knowledge available in this world than is usual.
"Ah, are you more able to transmute elements as a result of that knowledge or are other gods simply less interested in the mechanism of their powers?"
Less interested. There is no indication of difference in skill beyond what can be explained by simple power level variation.
"Have any gods leveraged their knowledge into... No zabna do not give out the knowledge to produce city destroying weapons to satisfy your idle curiosity."
He sighs, "Some types of atoms are not entirely stable, this can result in chain reactions with far more energy output than traditional chemical reactions. Such explosions are dangerous even beyond their raw destructive power because they produce poisonous materials that persist in the environment."
That sounds rather irresponsible to use if one is not a god and capable of cleaning up after oneself.
"The world The Institute comes from initially used them before the long term consequences were well understood and then again to destroy things even more dangerous."
"The Institute has had centuries of time to develop technology it would be difficult to list all the technologies we have. The ones that are most straightforwardly useful at your level of development would probably be indoor plumbing and electricity. At least to your followers. For yourself electricity can lead to computers which can effectually store libraries worth of information in a space smaller than my littlest finger."
