Links and Notes for Krystix’s chemistry inspired magical abilities:
Chlorine as a cleansing/stabilizing agent (the story’s core premise — chlorine normally purifies, Sporndul inverts it): the actual mechanism is well documented for drinking-water and wastewater treatment.
- Water chlorination – Wikipedia
- About Water Disinfection with Chlorine and Chloramine – CDC
- The Fundamentals of Chlorine Chemistry and Disinfection – Wisconsin DNR (PDF)
- Chlorine as disinfectant for water – Lenntech
Chlorine gas itself — the yellow-green color, density, and the “billowing cloud” Krystix breathes has a real physical basis, and its use as a weapon (which mirrors Sporndul’s weaponization) is historically grounded.
