the midnight bomber which bombs at midnight.....
a few thoughts... while few chemicals EXPLODE IRL, this is a magical realm, and they are trying to make powerful concoctions....
If trying to make tea, not likely to burn down the house... but meth labs and making bombs are dangerous... to draw a real world equivalent....
so makeing a healing potion that appears to be ok.. but hurts instead? a mana potion that strips mana instead... also, do not need fire for heat or energy. exothermic reactions also... Many things need a cold water bath to keep them from heating up to the point of exploding... how much more when you add magic to it?
I once was asked to help this Chem guy on his master thesis... lil ole me.... he was a friend and needed a new set of eyes... frankly did not want my help... but his experiment he did thousands of times was no longer working.... He made his tubing too long... so it was sticking into the water... he wanted to see the bubbles.. but when reaction cooled, it was sucking the water back into the vessel. ruining the experiment. even high level people make mistakes and ruin their recipes... sometimes...
