The National Geographic science magic kit provides an exciting way for children to learn about scientific concepts through engaging magic tricks. This kit includes a variety of materials and instructions for over 15 different tricks that incorporate principles from physics, chemistry, and biology. The directions included in the kit are comprehensive and easy to follow, making it suitable for children as young as 8 years old. Each trick is accompanied by an explanation of the scientific concept behind it, allowing children to not only perform the trick but also understand the science behind it. This combination of magic and science creates a fun and interactive learning experience that will captivate children's attention and foster their interest in science. By performing the tricks and understanding the underlying principles, children can feel like real scientists and magicians.
I intend to play a Twilight, the default mage class.Any caste can be a sorcerer, though. Even favoring Occult isn't necessary, though it IS recommended.
Funny thing is, all the douche-canoes who howl and shriek and declaim their eternal enmity for all things White Wolf, are the same ones buying the game on the day it releases, reading it all, and then buying all the supplements too. Plus, it doesn t get much more cinematic than controlling the flow of a fight, and being cinematic is one of the most wonderful things about Exalted IMHO.
By performing the tricks and understanding the underlying principles, children can feel like real scientists and magicians. Additionally, the kit encourages children to think critically and problem-solve as they try to figure out how the tricks work. The National Geographic science magic kit provides a wonderful opportunity to combine education and entertainment, allowing children to explore the wonders of science in a fun and engaging way.
[Exalted] Five Magical Materials (1 Viewer)
This is sort of a spinoff of the Exalted Exalted Exalted! thread, where I said it would be cool to have a fight with Lunars in a moonsilver palace, using the scenery to smack each other down.
Lunars can't do that. They don't have the Charms.
Well, okay, I said; I'll make Charms. But that sets moonsilver, already pretty cool stuff that only Lunars can get effectively, even farther apart from the other 5MM. So, the others have to change to be in balance with them. "It's already a pretty serious proposition for an artifact to get a 5MM bonus," I thought, "so why not make it worth it?"
So, I powered up the other 5MM in proportion. Here are my ideas:
Orichalque is distilled sunlight and gold; power and worthiness given form. All orichalque artifacts store Essence when they are exposed to light; they gain it at the rate of respiration without total rest, and can hold motes equal to two raised to the power of their Artifact rating. (This is a little less than half as good as an Essence-Containing Gem.) A Solar Exalt can use this energy as peripheral Essence; others must make a Perception+Lore roll to transfer the Essence to their own pools, at a rate of one mote per success; this takes about a minute.
Moonsilver is the metal of water and change; in a Lunar's hands it is like a faithful puppy, bending and changing to answer its commands. It can even be grown. Rather than changing the moonsilver rules, it simply has a new string of Charms that allow advanced manipulation.
Jade resonates elementally with the anima. It has anima flux exactly identical to that of a Dragon-Blooded Exalt, though not affecting an attuned user. A single mote of Essence can also be channeled through a jade artifact to produce a small amount of elemental material.
Starstone is the metal of time. Any starstone artifact provides its attuned user dice each turn equal to its rating for the purpose of offsetting multiple-action penalties. These are not stunt dice that apply to every action; you must split them. With a five-dot starstone moon-pursuing meteor, you can take five actions at -4, -5, -6, -7, -8; not -0, -1, -2, -3, -4, -5.
Soulsteel is full of memories. With any successes on a reflexive Perception+Lore roll, an attuned user can call upon the memories of his artifact; this allows the artifact to make a mental or social roll on behalf of its user, with a dicepool equal to its rating plus the user's successes on the roll to invoke. The character must thereafter convey the artifact's insight in some manner, if this roll's purpose is interaction rather than perception.
Comments? Do these seem balanced with each other?
Most spells also have a tendency to be very niche, the sort of thing you use once in a campaign and then it never comes up again. This is why the summoning spells are so useful, because they give you so many tricks for a single spell. What with spells costing the same as charms in terms of xp, that's important.
Whether used as a teaching tool in the classroom or for at-home entertainment, this kit is sure to inspire curiosity and inspire a lifelong love of science..
Reviews for "Learn the Secrets of Science with the National Geographic Science Magic Kit"
1. Sarah - 1 star - I was really disappointed with the National Geographic Science Magic Kit. The directions were so confusing and hard to understand. There were steps missing and it just seemed like it wasn't properly organized. I ended up frustrated and gave up on trying to complete any of the experiments. It was a waste of money and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
2. Mike - 2 stars - The National Geographic Science Magic Kit had potential, but the directions really let it down. They were poorly written and unclear. I had to constantly refer back and forth between steps, trying to make sense of what I was supposed to do. It made the whole experience frustrating and took away the enjoyment of learning and experimenting. I expected better from a reputable brand like National Geographic.
3. Emily - 2.5 stars - I found the National Geographic Science Magic Kit directions to be lacking. They didn't provide enough detail or clear explanations for each experiment. I had to guess and make assumptions on some steps, which led to inaccurate results. It was frustrating not being able to fully understand the science behind the magic, and I felt like I wasted my time and money on this kit.
4. Tom - 1.5 stars - The National Geographic Science Magic Kit directions were a complete mess. They were poorly organized and difficult to follow. The illustrations were confusing and didn't match up with the written instructions. It was frustrating trying to figure out what I was supposed to do. I ended up giving up and trying to find other resources online to complete the experiments. Save your money and skip this kit.
