An interesting idea I have been pondering about the power fantasy is the contrast between Magnus and the rest of the superpowers we have seen so far is that we know where the source of their powers are.

With the atomics we know it is probably caused by the atomic bomb and the splitting of the atom hence their name and the fact that they are presumably human or at least post-human in some manner. There is of course the possible theory that their powers are gained from the divine due to Valentina's arrival happening at the same time.

'Valentina arriving punched a pinhole between her gaff and ours, and heaven is leaking all over the shop'. - Jacky Magnus, 1978

With the Extranormal enities we know that their powers come from both heaven and hell respectively, with Valentina (presumably) being sent down from heaven to be reborn as a human child (does this mean she technicaly killed a child?) and Eliza made a deal with Hell to be their representative on earth through magic taught by another member of the pyrimid.

'I have all the powers of hell at my fingertips.' - Eliza Hellbound, 1989

But with Magnus we have no idea where his powers come from and how he gained the knowledge he has to such a level that he can become a superpower in his own right. He's not an extradimentional entity, he's not an atomic, so what is he? And how did he gain the knowledge he has?

'But I knew folks would keep on trying...' - Jacky Magnus, 1978

This highly implies that all knowledge of magic is somehow derived from him in someway, which from what we have seen is true with those who practice real magic being called Pyramid and due to Magnus starting the Pyramid, where did he learn it from?

look, I know I've talked about this essay (?) before but like,

If you ever needed a good demonstration of the quote "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic", have I got an exercise for you.

Somebody made a small article explaining the basics of atomic theory but it's written in Anglish. Anglish is basically a made-up version of English where they remove any elements (words, prefixes, etc) that were originally borrowed from romance languages like french and latin, as well as greek and other foreign loanwords, keeping only those of germanic origin.

What happens is an english which is for the most part intelligible, but since a lot everyday english, and especially the scientific vocabulary, has has heavy latin and greek influence, they have to make up new words from the existing germanic-english vocabulary. For me it kind of reads super viking-ey.

Anyway when you read this article on atomic theory, in Anglish called Uncleftish Beholding, you get this text which kind of reads like a fantasy novel. Like in my mind it feels like it recontextualizes advanced scientific concepts to explain it to a viking audience from ancient times.

Even though you're familiar with the scientific ideas, because it bypasses the normal language we use for these concepts, you get a chance to examine these ideas as if you were a visitor from another civilization - and guess what, it does feel like it's about magic. It has a mythical quality to it, like it feels like a book about magic written during viking times. For me this has the same vibe as reading deep magic lore from a Robert Jordan book.
