View source for Savant Radiation

{{stub}}

A kind of radiation emitted by [[Atlantean]] crystals under certain circumstances. Initially hypothesised (and then proven) by [[Antoinette Clarke]], but she only considered it worthy of study as part of the properties of the crystals, rather than a phenomenon in itself. This definition was then expanded on by [[Doctor Abrams]], who incorrectly (and maliciously) attributed the original discovery to [[Hugo Savant]].

It is known that prolonged exposure to Savant Radiation can result in a person (or possibly other animals – sufficient experiments have not yet been done) to develop [[supernormal]] characteristics, sometimes permanently. The radiation can also be channelled to form a field which magnifies or reduces the effects of Atlantean crystals and supernormal abilities based on them. As well as being emitted by the crystals, it is now known that some [[mask]]s, notably [[Red Vermilion]], produce Savant rays as part of the radiation gamut emitted by their laser eyes or dragonbreath abilities.

The waves may be similar or identical to the [[claustronium]] rays mentioned in [[Hope Three]]'s records; it seems likely, although a number of senior scientists on that project destroyed their notes rather than share them with the world, so that information is now considered lost forever.
