Why isn’t He, rather than popping, just making a new body for Himself out of the available elements?
He always necessarily looking for a home?
I suppose that you could say that perhaps HE is always looking to create a home (or body)...and TBH I rather like that metaphor.
In that regard, HE is just like any human, who will use whatever's around us to try to make a comfortable shelter for ourselves, in whichever environment we find ourselves in.
if “popping” out of elements is a thing, why would a stone produce gold over silver or even copper?
WRT to a proper lab created p-stone, IMO the artist "colors"/trains the HIM to create the desired metal.
IMO this is done by sandwiching the HIM between an atom of the desired metal and an atom of oxygen.
The problem with this idea, is that magnetite is essentially iron oxide which contains HIM....according to my theory, magnetite should be a transmutation stone to create iron.
But instead...it makes electrum (gold and silver).
I honestly don't know why this would happen.
My best guess would be that perhaps the fact that magnetite excludes earth's magnetic field from inside itself is somehow causing gold/silver to manifest, but that's all I got, and even that's pretty damn flimsy.
But....if we just roll with your metaphor, we could say that magnetite is a very uncomfortable "home" for HIM, and gold/silver is the most comfortable one. So HE simply transmutes his favourite environment as soon as the conditions are right and that he's able to.
I gotta admit, it sounds and feels pretty elegant.
I remember a thread about earthquakes and quartz veins and gold. Especially in relation to iron deposits.
That sounds interesting, and I would very much like to read it.
Please post a link if you ever come across it again.
