OKAY SO PREFACE i am kind of just throwing out what comes to mind so PLEASE PLEASE feel free to build off of things I suggest, suggest alterations, or even suggest Magix I didn't even think of!! I just lOVE MAGIC A WHOLE LOT and want to see more types bc
magic
+ V +
SO ANYWAY
- FIRST SUGGESTION AND THE MOST LONG-WINDED ONE: Darkness. I've actually seen Darkness connected to Water before, so if Magix could have more subs that would be my first thought? But at the same time, it might even be its own thing. I say this because I'm... not entirely sure how to logic it, considering Magic in re:DUX is essentially scientific? (THIS IS THE POINT OF MY POST WHERE I STARTED DOING RESEARCH)
According to Wikipedia, here's the definition of darkness in relation to physics:
[[In terms of physics, an object is said to be dark when it absorbs photons, causing it to appear dim compared to other objects. For example, a matte black paint does not reflect much visible light and appears dark, whereas white paint reflects much light and appears bright.[3] For more information see color.
Light cannot be absorbed without limit. According to the principle of the conservation of Energy, energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be converted from one type to another. Consequently, most objects that absorb visible light reemit it as heat.[4] So, although an object may appear dark, it is likely bright at a frequency that humans cannot perceive. For more information see thermodynamics.
A dark area has limited light sources, making things hard to see. Exposure to alternating light and darkness (night and day) has caused several evolutionary adaptations to darkness. When a vertebrate, like a human, enters a dark area, its pupils dilate, allowing more light to enter the eye and improving night vision. Also, the light detecting cells in the human eye (rods and cones) will regenerate more unbleached rhodopsin when adapting to darkness. ]]
So... hmm... "Light cannot be absorbed without limit" and "although an object may appear dark, it is likely bright at a frequency that humans cannot perceive." -- maybe some mutation / bastardization of Fire / Light?
I feel as though some of the drawbacks could be potential blindness (tricking the brain into thinking you're in a dark area and causing the pupils to stay dilated, which would be exceptionally bad against bright areas / light in general) or even psychological effects (ie, light deprivation has been shown to cause depression -- and also brain damage).
...but then what could we do with it, from a use standpoint? The first thought I had would be to manipulate shadows buuuut that doesn't work with the current Magix logic. But I would think that it would probably, in one regard, act like the "something that's so hot it's freezing cold" kind of things. I'm definitely open to what other people think. - Second: Okay but what if we got into the more dangerous sides of Physical magic. Manipulating your own bones or blood. This one I don't feel the need to research much bc obvious. /HIT But oh my god it could provide a lot of creepy fun. |': I don't know if thats a bit "much" -- but Physical magix currently seems to mostly focus on muscles / implants.
- Alternatively, metal by manipulating iron in the blood? Or even metal implants, if you consider plant magix requires plant implants--
...and that's all I can think of right now. :'V

i LIKE ALL THE IDEAS
And I'd love for blood magix so I can add my aNGRY SMOL into the setting easier

Well technically you can do a lot, one of them would be starting absorbing all the photons and thus light, from an area at the cost of emitting heat.
But why stop there, advanced dark magic would be absorbing any energy from the electromagnetic spectrum and re-emitting it under another form
And the electromagnetic spectrum is really really broad:
x-rays, UV, visual light, IR, microwaves, radiowavers, gigahertz frequencies, .....
even more advanced would be to direct these, you could absorp light and emit messages in the radio frequency with some training. if you focus and line up the waves, you could technically even do lasers.
Hehe, this is a pretty nice find!
cause remember, the outside world is COVERED in radiation. Channeling that would kill you instantly due to the strain on your cells and skin, but man for that small period of time you could potentially unleash the power of a few Tsar Bombas
The physicist in me is super stoked. OP as all hell, but dang if I wouldn't use it exclusively

oh man i didn't even think about doing that sort of thing thANK YOU FOR HAVING A BETTER SCIENCE BRAIN (i never took physics.... ever |'8 so... I'm limited in what I'd figure out easily)

Actually, Uriel doesn't have his character eval'd yet, but one of his magix I have listed as Earth, which is extended to metal to manipulate the iron in his body, like you said, to create a skin (like Colossus in xmen) for protection and such in emergencies.
What I've been thinking of doing though is revising that to a physical magix that causes the iron in his body to absorb into and react with some of the carbon in his skin to essentially turn the skin itself into steel plating >w>
One of the drawbacks to that though is that Uriel has to take hella iron supplements to make sure his body has enough iron to work with. If he didn't do this, he would collapse and potentially die when he used the magix for long periods due to oxygen starvation to his brain because his blood cells no longer carried the iron needed to transport oxygen around. Fortunately he takes a looot of iron, and I'm thinking of giving him an implant one day that is basically an iron receptacle that would be used instead to minimize that risk in general.

Glaz I'm like half asleep rn but that sounds reALLY well thought out omg --
And mostly throwing this here before I forget :
Darkness has been linked with making your brain assume "night" too so it would be interesting if dark magic was linked with drowsiness (both as a side effect or through heavy use on someone!) !!
Yes this was a pre-nap thought /hit

I feel like the radiation setting, especially with the salvage zones, would make a darkness or energy re-emitting kind of thing super applicable. Though I wonder if it's easier to abuse (godmodding, etc.) so maybe it'd have to be a rare type, have devastating side effects, or be something only a handful of people can program and isn't widely available through avenues like the black market?

I'd think it would actually be really dangerous for people who use radiation-type magix to go into the salvage zones, as the high ambient-radiation forces the use of that magix only in extremely short bursts or risk absorbing an overflow of radiation that could lead to some pretty severe physical effects.

I kinda feel like this would be the only Magix banned by the government, solely because radiation stays outside the dome to keep the illusion real.

Steel skin sounds cool! Though steel is a bit complicated ( vanadium and chrome are two elements you'd usually find in its structure formula too) i'm sure a functional equal alternative can be made with the elements in the body. He would potentially destroy every red blood cell in his body; his blood would cease to have a red colour ( if he doesnt use a surplus of iron in his blood) i think it's great you thought about these consequences; very nice :)
