Absolute mafic refers to rocks that are composed predominantly of dark-colored minerals, specifically mafic minerals. Mafic minerals are rich in magnesium and iron and typically have a higher density and lower silica content than other minerals. These rocks are formed from magma or lava that has a high concentration of mafic minerals, such as olivine, pyroxene, and amphibole. Mafic rocks are characterized by their dark color, often appearing black or dark green. They have a high density due to their mineral composition, which makes them heavy compared to other types of rocks. This high density gives them a tendency to sink in magma chambers, accumulating at the base of the chamber and forming layers.

Who better to face them than the Adeptus Mechanicus, who also have a fairly new codex, even more complex than the Boolean Pythagorean Triples problem. Proud and devoted warriors, they were veterans of both battle and the Thousand Sons psychic discipline system, with no member being of lower cult grade than Philosophus.
This high density gives them a tendency to sink in magma chambers, accumulating at the base of the chamber and forming layers. The most common type of mafic rock is basalt, which is formed from solidified lava. Basalt is abundant in volcanic regions and is often associated with volcanic activity.
Showcase: Thousand Sons and Magnus the Red by Silvernome
Hello everyone, Silvernome here with the second part of my Forces of Change: The Thousand Sons, including both versions of Ahriman, Sorcerers, Magnus the Red and Occult Terminators.
Since I have a large and slow Death Guard force, I wanted my Thousand Sons force to focus on speed. Every unit has wings, discs or can deep strike in. The idea is to zip around the board claiming objectives and blowing things up with their psychic destruction.
My leaders consist of: Ahriman, Exalted Sorcerer (30k Ahriman), a converted AoS Sorcerer on a Disc and a Sorcerer in Terminator Armor (FW event model). All the disc riders are magnetized to be able to run on regular bases if I don’t want to pay the points for the discs. Since I wasn’t a fan of the head on the FW Terminator, I removed it and put on a Scarab Occult helmet and swapped out his axe for a more on-theme weapon. For the Scarab Occult terminators, I magnetized the Heavy Weapons model so he can swap between the cannon, flamer or just run as a regular bolter model and on the Scarab Occult Champion, I magnetized his off-staff hand to run the CC weapon or Bolter.
The entire force is lead by the man that did nothing wrong: Magnus the Red. His chest armor is magnetized so I can remove it when he takes more wounds or just want to run him without. When I was building him during 7th edition, flyers had to come out of flying and hover to battle so I magnetized his wings. In 8th, he no longer needs to do that so I decided to just glue them in permanently.
Hope you enjoyed this look into the yet young but growing Tzeentch and Thousand Sons forces. I’ve already bought a few more kits to help grow it and look forward to sharing them in the future!

It is typically fine-grained and has a dense, homogeneous texture. Other mafic rocks include gabbro and peridotite, which are formed from slowly cooled magma deep within the Earth's crust. Mafic rocks have several important geological implications. The high density of mafic minerals makes them a significant component of the Earth's mantle, which is the layer beneath the crust. Mafic minerals also have a role in plate tectonics, as their movement along with the surrounding rock can cause volcanic activity and the formation of new crust. Additionally, the composition of mafic rocks can provide clues about the history and nature of the Earth's interior. In conclusion, absolute mafic refers to rocks that are primarily composed of dark-colored minerals rich in magnesium and iron. These rocks have a high density, low silica content, and are often associated with volcanic activity. Understanding mafic rocks is essential for understanding the Earth's geology and its processes..
Reviews for "Investigating the Mechanical Properties of Absolute Mafic Derren Brlwn"
1. Emily - 2 stars
I was really disappointed with "Absolute Magic" by Derren Brown. I had heard so many great things about it and was excited to finally watch it. However, I found the show to be quite boring and unengaging. The tricks were predictable and didn't leave me in awe like I expected. Brown's performance lacked the charisma and charm that I had seen in other magicians. Overall, I felt like the show was a waste of my time and money.
2. Michael - 1 star
"Absolute Magic" by Derren Brown was a total letdown for me. I had high expectations after hearing so many positive reviews, but the show fell flat. The tricks were not impressive at all and I could see through most of them. The pacing was slow and I found myself getting bored halfway through. Brown's stage presence was lacking, and I didn't feel any connection or excitement throughout the performance. I wouldn't recommend this show to anyone looking for mind-blowing magic.
3. Sarah - 2 stars
I had previously seen Derren Brown's other shows and was amazed by his skills, but "Absolute Magic" didn't live up to my expectations. The tricks felt repetitive and lacked originality. It seemed like Brown was relying heavily on old tricks instead of introducing something new and exciting. The overall atmosphere of the show was dull, and I left feeling underwhelmed. I would recommend watching Brown's earlier works instead, as they showcase his talent much better than "Absolute Magic."
4. David - 3 stars
While "Absolute Magic" by Derren Brown had its moments, I found it to be a bit overhyped. Some of the tricks were impressive, but they were overshadowed by the ones that fell flat. The pacing of the show was inconsistent, and it felt like it dragged on at times. I also wished there was more audience interaction and involvement. Overall, it was an average performance that didn't live up to the high expectations I had based on Brown's reputation.
