Author’s Fantasy License:
The links above support the real facts this story borrows (argon’s inertness, its atmospheric abundance, galena’s and barium silicate’s real chemical identity), but the actual “magic” — using argon as a containment medium for molecularly displaced people, staff-stones blazing purple, counter-resonance reversing displacement — is invented fantasy mechanics layered on top of those facts. In other words, just pure fantasy.
