Energy Drain.

Netlight Runner fought for the Cause, for the Enlightenment but also for other supporting causes.

Enlightened Magickal Love is the most important, so he has to fight for good looks & style as well.

On the Magickal, Spiritual & Esoteric fronts one of the threats to style & good looks is vampiric, energy draining abilities of malevolent beings.

As one is drained energy magickally, one has to eat more to recover life lost.

He used his computer games again, with Mind in touch with Caty's Hell.

He designed 'Scythe', an undead unit to be brought in existence in hells using different magick - able to manifest astrally as well, reaching different worlds.

Scythe's necromantic powers - including the 'Feed' spell - drained life energy, so it can be used to drain back drained energy, as well as a means of warning abusers & as a means of protection.

Then he invested into some of MtGO cards, spells that drain life energy & psychic energy, that damage health, style & sanity. A man should not waste woman's energy at all, not only by excess of work, arguing or stress.

Matter-Energy Form.

Introduction.

Most ambitious of Runner's projects - as far as Science go - is the Matter-Energy Form, codenamed 'Matrix' - but Science is not everything.


Nanotechnology.

This starts as a swarm of nanites - a swarm of very small robots, controlled by a computer.

These are so small that are invisible to the eye, possibly can pass through matter as well.

A while ago Runner had an idea of nanite swarm flying in the magnetic field, using energy weapons - hence there's distiction for Matter (nanites & their payloads) and for Energy (Magnetic Field & other).

One of most spectacular possible Miracles of this Technomagick is pseudomaterialization - when nanites get close to each other & connect to each other, their clusters might be large enough to be visible to the naked eye - making forms appear in the air.

Runner already made steps for coordinating these nanites using computers & software, but this technology is still a future - for now only works magically, on the esoteric level.


What is possible?

Runner does not want to create yet another weapon of mass-destruction, still it is possibly a weapon nevertheless.

Simple forms - as a knife for example - are easier to create that way from a viewpoint of a software developer - than for example, tanks or living beings.

Creating or transforming living bodies is immoral as well, in Runner's book - as is reincarnating in a mature body, either cloned or created other way.

There's a lot of talk about augmenting humans, granting them supernatural abilities via nanotechnology - perhaps subtle improvements or replacing lost limbs are doable from morality viewpoints, but creating beasts is not.


When?

Technology advances faster than most humans follow.

Runner guessess that Matter-Energy form will be complete in 30-60 years from now.


Why a Matrix code-name?

Because, at it's best and worst at the same time, nanite swarm can spread over a distance, transforming matter & energy (matter is an energy form as well) within.

Forms can emerge or disappear, or even change that way.

A well-structured nanite cloud can 'superimpose' a 'Matrix' over area, controlling matter & energy changes within.
