  • Fra Pelagatti's Lion
rdfs:comment
  • Fra Pelagatti's Lion, a/k/a the Castle-killing device, is a machine which creates a "low-pulse ætheric 'roar' punctuated by short bursts of intense trans-dimensional dissonance harmonics" The name of the device comes from the scientist who developed or best presented the functional principle(s) (see also: Occam's Razor, Schrödinger's Cat, Maxwell's Demon et alia). Fra Pelagatti is an Abbot of the Corbettite Monks.

abstract
  • Fra Pelagatti's Lion, a/k/a the Castle-killing device, is a machine which creates a "low-pulse ætheric 'roar' punctuated by short bursts of intense trans-dimensional dissonance harmonics" The name of the device comes from the scientist who developed or best presented the functional principle(s) (see also: Occam's Razor, Schrödinger's Cat, Maxwell's Demon et alia). Fra Pelagatti is an Abbot of the Corbettite Monks. From the description, it seems likely to function in a manner similar to an electromagnetic pulse, in which fluctuating fields interact with sensitive equipment to cause damaging current/voltage/energy surges. The "ætheric roar" provides a "static" which would disrupt local communications of a wireless or ætheric nature; the short bursts of dissonance would create the analogous waves which would provoke surges in reaction to the input energies. Recently, after being apparently [ destroyed] [[Chronology - Volume #|✣ ]] by Agatha, it was revealed to have been preserved and possibly modified so that it shuts down the Castle temporarily rather than killing it outright. Agatha [ uses] [[Chronology - Volume #|✣ ]] The Lion for this purpose when it attempts to prevent her from curing Gil, Tarvek and herself of Hogfarb's Resplendent Immolation.
