The element to element spells transmute a volume.
Earth to Air changes 1 cubic foot of earth or stone into 1 cubic foot of air.
Mass is lost.
Energy must be lost too because that block of rock is breathable air.
A wizard did it. Literally.
The reason I looked it up is the question of what happens when a Googoo missile ward transforms the missile into water.
220gr of cupro-nickel plated lead is 1.257ml of volume and that becomes... 1.257g of water flying through the air at 2,000 ft/sec.
Don'tcha just love how consistent I am about measurements?
That water is going to be steam really fast and going to stop pretty much dead as soon as it transforms.
But now I know how long-range rifle fire will be handled against the wards.

Wouldn't the lost mass be converted into energy? A LOT of energy?
ReplyDeleteNope. Converting a cubic foot of rock to air gives a minute of breathable air. If the energy was retained then that air would be HOT to account for the mass change.
DeleteMagic violates conservation of mass.
Heck, magic violates pretty much the entirety of the laws of thermodynamics.
