Litmus Paper (prior)

Litmus Paper is used to measure the status of the Crucible. To use it, click on a Crucible, then click on anything else including the air to get the report to enter your chat.

Measurement Structure

A typical litmus paper measurement looks something like this:

-- Measurement --
ACID - 32%
VERDANT - 32%
LIGHT - 4%
BELOW REACTION POWER THRESHOLD

The first three lines in the example are a list of each Power in the Crucible, and what percentage of the Crucible is currently occupied by that Power. In the example, Acid and Verdant each take up about a third of the total available capacity, while there is only a small amount of Light. The percentage can be thought of as the strength or concentration of that particular Power.

When there are no powers, this list reads 'WATER', to signal that there's just pure water in the Crucible. When there is less then 1% of a Power, it reads as 'TRACE'.

The bottom line is the Reaction Status. There are a few possible Statuses, each of which tells you about what conditions still need to be met for a Reaction to occur.

Status Message	Meaning
STABLE	The Power(s) in the Crucible cannot react at all.
SINGLE POWER REACTION MISSING STIMULUS	A reaction involving only one Power is possible, but it's missing a stimulus.
MULTI POWER REACTION MISSING STIMULUS	A reaction involving more than one Power is possible, but it's missing a stimulus.
BELOW REACTION POWER THRESHOLD	At least one Power present could take part in a reaction, and has all necessary requirements to do so, but there is not enough of it in the Crucible.
REACTION MISSING CATALYST ITEM	A reaction could occur, if the right item were present inside the Crucible.
REACTION INHIBITED	A reaction meets all requirements, but is being prevented by a surplus of Body Power.
REACTING	A reaction is currently happening.

If the Crucible's Integrity is below 85, the message CRUCIBLE INTEGRITY VIOLATION is appended above the power list.
