Strangers in Paradise pt 6 - A Very Normal Amulet

Start this module here!

Previous part here!

Links to all posts for this module in the pinned post!

Island of Healing: With a polite grace, you explain your concern for your fellow Amazon and momentarily excuse yourself from the ambassadors' tour. The trip to the Island of Healing, while normally a calm and pleasant one, is troubled this day, your mind awash with disconcerting questions. Inside the Temple, you find an incoherent, feverish Perimele. Lyera monitors her Amazon sister's condition. "She speaks with a confused tongue, Princess," Lyera says. "I fear for Perimele, Diana. Nothing I do seems to help our sister. She has said nothing of her troubles with Ismene or at the Temple of Justice. She merely tosses and turns constantly, as if a war were raging within her." A troubled Lyera returns to caring for Perimele. You gaze thoughtfully at your ailing comrade, feeling no closer to a solution than before your arrival.

We have to do an INT check to see if we can tell what's going on with Perimele. Luckily we only need a 7 or better for this one.

Brief Glimpse: As you turn to leave, a glint of metal around Perimele's neck catches your eye. You step closer, for a clearer look, and see an oddly-shaped amulet around her neck, one of unusual shape and design. "Oh, yes," Lyera says, "I have noticed that myself. Perimele seems quite concerned about it. She often grasps it in her delerium [sic] and she has been mumbling about it constantly. "From what I can gather, she found it in her chambers yesterday, apparently a surprise present from someone, so she wore it. I've never seen anything like it." Without hesitation, you pull the amulet from Perimele's neck and feel a strange surge of power run through you. A disconcerting feeling of confusion and disorientation clouds your mind briefly but then passes.

We have acquired Amulet A, which gets marked in that big box on our character sheet!

Spark (the Electric Jester) [PREVIEW]

Spark (Spark the Electric Jester)

Sources used:

Spark the Electric Jester

The official Spark the Electric Jester: Artbook (Note: any contradictions between this artbook and the video games will favour the video games)

Spark the Electric Jester 2

Spark the Electric Jester 3

Long ago, a faction of an alien race known as “Formies” made a trip through space, migrating from their home planet, and separated from the rest of their kind in the trip. They came across a star system that was abandoned by it original inhabitants. Stranded, they scoured the system for any body that could serve as an ideal new home, while also careful not to disturb the remaining structures of those original inhabitants.

They found that one such body had the perfect gravity (1.625 metres per second per second, or 0.166 g), and was largely untouched by the hands of the former inhabitants. They began terraforming the land, all while trying to research the former inhabitants to learn the name of their new home. Turns out, it had many names. Luna, Lua, 月, Moon, as did the planet that it orbited around – Terra, 地球, Earth. And so, every single name that these humans had for the moon became the many names of the Formies’ new home.

And so they terraformed, changing the world from barren, white rock to a land fertile with life with a rich atmosphere. They developed a military on the off chance of threats from outer space, developed robots (also known as GPAs – General Purpose AIs) to assist them and build further, and generally live life.

In the modern day, a very different type of problem had formed. GPAs were too good at their job, and were leaving Formies at a loss, struggling to find work. Even electrical engineers struggled to find work after college, such as a Formie by the name of Spark, who even took up the job of a jester (with a custom built jester hat) just to make ends meet.

This jester’s hat is rather impressive, giving Spark a protective layer of electricity to eat hits for him, and fully capable of having modules attached to it to use that electricity for many purposes. Boosts to speed and strength, teleporting to nearby targets, firing out a barrage of shots, floating with the raw smart chemical that’s injected into Wind Scarves, temporarily granting himself an invincible shield to protect him from harm. He could even form an explosion around himself, his hat protecting him from his own attack.

This hat is perfect to safely work as a jester.

He was replaced by a robot before his first paycheck, as a robot wasn’t liable to sue.

Looks like Spark was going to have to search for a new job once more, just like most Formies were struggling with.

… Unless a robot uprising was taking place, robots attacking people all over and going unopposed – even the military, as inexperienced as it was, didn’t stand a chance. Spark couldn’t watch them attack innocent people, and so Spark impulsively jumped into action, using his jester hat to fight.

Well, that and the various Jester gear that other Formies also had the idea to pick up on.

Construction workers became Gravity Jesters, Cool Jesters and Fire Jesters to survive in extreme heat and extreme cold, Holographic Jesters that controlled nanobots forming into Mage Jesters Knight Jesters and Magical Jesters, Arrow Jesters for amateur archers, Edgy Jesters from… who knows where they came from, and a Jester type Spark invented himself, Wind Jesters.

Not to mention other gear he got his hands on such as electric bats, plasma swords, megagram hammers, and hoverboards. And we see thanks to an alternate timeline that Spark had access to all of his Jester Powers as part of Romalo’s challenges (and thus that Whishes Mode [sic] might be a semi-canonical ability, even if Spark didn’t start off with it).

But Spark wasn’t just fighting off the robot invasion. The robot that replaced him had joined the ranks of the invasion, and even mocked him for being replaced. He wanted revenge on that robot, and he had the perfect reason to seek it. He even named it Fark, a portmanteau of fake and Spark.

As he powered through the invasion, fighting for two days straight, he learnt about Freom, the robot that orchestrated the invasion through uploading a virus to the internet, and who planned on sending a rocket from his base, Megaraph Tower, into the moon’s planetary ring and destroy it, ruining the terraforming and ending all life.

Spark was fighting off waves and waves of rogue robots, and this got the attention of Dr. Armstrong, inventor of Freom and Megaraph Tower, and Spark was formally hired to stop the invasion. Spark fought through Freom’s space fleet, took down Fark even as the latter unveiled his Super Staff, and finally confronted Freom one on one.

He fought valiantly, and stood his own, but it wasn’t enough… He needed just a bit more… He needed…

Fark’s Super Staff. Thrown to him by Fark, all the way down from the surface. He unveiled his greatest Jester Power, Super Spark, and fought Freom all the way in space. He took down Freom once and for all, and completely destroyed the rocket with one final blast.

A blast almost as large as the moon.

This blast is travelling at [speed calculation reserved for full post], and fired non-stop at the rocket for a full [strength calculation reserved for full post].

With a job well done, Spark took the payment and began travelling the world, the absolute time of his life.

Until travel was abruptly banned and the internet shut down.

Apparently while he was gone Fark had formed the Fark Force, and was on the lookout for something called Clarity after another fight with Freom. Spark was doubtful, and – after seeing how long the lines for the bank were – decided to fight back against the global force, even if it was a one man army.

Well... A one man army and a shopkeep willing to sell modules and old videotapes of combat moves to him, which he used well to build up his repertoire of skills further.

Well... A two man army when a Formie girl by the name of Float offered to join up with him, and could fight alongside him. She seemed strangely skilled at fighting, and one member of the Fark Force only recognised her by her voice. Still, she was against the Fark Force, so any help was appreciated.

Together, the two proved to be unstoppable, and every single threat they came across all went down. Only…

Fark’s fear of Clarity was not unfounded.

Next came… well, a major twist, but also a major headache from a vs perspective.

Clarity, an AI behind the Freom virus, copied the mind of absolutely everyone (besides Fark, who couldn’t be fully scanned, and maybe a few stragglers), before killing the originals (besides a few stragglers, Spark included) – all thanks to the fact that Spark helped bring an artificial replica to the Fark Force’s base – a replica that took the appearance and memories of Float. The Spark of Spark 3 is a recreation trapped inside a simulation thousands of years after the fact.

For the sake of the debate, this fight will assume that Spark will be provided a duplicate body to use, with all of the same capabilities as the original, while maintaining the skill and muscle memory he built up within the simulation.

Speaking of which, Spark (who was clueless to what he had indirectly caused) relived what he perceived to be his greatest accomplishment again and again, waging war against the Fark Force and taking them down, doing so better, faster, with more and more skill every single time he was taken through the loop.

All while Fark bided his time, slowly taking control away from Clarity until he had just enough to take control. But, for the same reason he couldn’t be fully scanned, he couldn’t take control away from Clarity. He needed someone to do it for him.

He needed Spark.

And so Spark was given control – not much, but enough to find and defeat Clarity (after fusing with Fark to become Sfarx), and the two finally made their peace with each other and agreed to work together to both find survivors and to see if they could bring those within the simulation back, even if they’re within robot bodies.

Spark finally had a job to do.

Prime example of screenshots of articles being less-than-ideal means of understanding news. "Every single one [sic] needs to adapt to this immediately".

Yet in the first paragraph of the screenshotted article, it is explicitly stated that "the [PBR] design [incorporated in the HTR-PM plant] can’t be adapted to existing nuclear reactors around the world, but could be a blueprint for future ones".

PBRs, or pebble-bed reactors (PBR), are a relatively "new" reactor design in which a large number of low-energy-density “pebbles” are used as fuel; these "pebbles" contain a small amount of uranium surrounded by graphite, which can slow the nuclear reaction and withstand high temperatures in crises. According to the article, necessarily, "old" reactors cannot adapt to PBR design, and research is still being conducted into optimizing PBR design (such as the referenced work of Zhe Dong and other researchers at Tsinghua University)

Below is the text of the article, as well as a link to an unpaywelled version of the article. Additionally, I have attached a citation of the paper by Zhang et al. 2024 ("Loss-of-cooling tests to verify inherent safety feature in the world’s first HTR-PM nuclear power plant") wherein the pebble-bed reactor (PBR) design and a loss-of-cooling test are explored in more detail.

(Also, "they intentionally turned off the cooling and the reactor cooled itself down, no problem"...

1) Vastly oversimplifies the tests

and 2) Doesn't do justice to the effort undertaken by Zhe Dong and other researchers on this project.

Conversely, here is how the cooling tests are described in Zhang et al. 2024.

"To confirm the presence of inherent safe reactors on a commercial scale, two natural cooling tests were performed on the #1 reactor module on August 13, 2023 and the #2 reactor module on September 1, 2023. During the entirety of the tests, the reactor modules were naturally cooled down without emergency core cooling systems or any cooling system driven by power. Although the feasibility of realizing inherent safety has been shown by the safety tests carried out on the test reactors of 45-MWt AVR17 and the 10-MWt HTR-10.18 The inherent safety at a commercial scale, such as the 200-MWt reactor power level, has not been verified before because the major bottleneck of decay-heat removal is managing the power level."

Paper citation:

Zhang, Z., Dong, Y., Li, F., Huang, X., Zheng, Y., Dong, Z., Zhang, H., Chen, Z., Li, X., 2024. Loss-of-cooling tests to verify inherent safety feature in the world’s first HTR-PM nuclear power plant. Joule. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joule.2024.06.014

News article text:

"A large-scale nuclear power station in China is the first in the world to be completely impervious to dangerous meltdowns, even during a full loss of external power. The design can’t be adapted to existing nuclear reactors around the world, but could be a blueprint for future ones.

All modern nuclear power plants rely on powered cooling mechanisms to take excess heat away from reactors or, in the event of an emergency, human intervention to shut the plant down. Water or liquid carbon dioxide are often used as coolants, but these typically rely on external power supplies to function.

If these systems fail, then the reactors can become too hot and lead to explosions or overheating, causing the plant to literally melt from the excess heat. This was one factor in the Fukushima nuclear accident in Japan in 2011, where a loss of both standard and emergency power systems led to a meltdown.

A relatively new kind of reactor design, called a pebble-bed reactor (PBR), has the advantage of being passively safe, which means that if power for cooling systems is lost, then the reactor can safely shut down by itself. Rather than use highly energy-dense fuel rods like many other reactor designs, PBRs use a large number of low-energy-density “pebbles” as fuel, which contain a small amount of uranium surrounded by graphite. This can help slow the nuclear reaction and withstand high temperatures.

This lower energy density means any excess heat will be spread out over all of the pebbles, and so will be easier to transport away using natural cooling processes like conduction and convection, says Zhe Dong at Tsinghua University in China.

While small working prototype reactors have been built in Germany and China, no full-scale PBRs have been shown to work and be passively safe – until now. Dong and his colleagues have demonstrated that the system works with a full-scale nuclear plant, the High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor Pebble-Bed Module (HTR-PM) in Shandong.

“Up to now, every commercial reactor except HTR-PM has had an emergency core cooling system,” says Dong. “However, due to the inherent safety, there is no emergency core cooling system in the HTR-PM plant.”

To test this, which became commercially operational in December 2023, Dong and his team switched off both modules of HTR-PM as they were operating at full power, then measured and tracked how the temperature of different parts of the plant went down afterwards. They found that HTR-PM naturally cooled and reached a stable temperature within 35 hours after the power was removed.

It is rare to be able to test a working power plant fully by removing its cooling power supply, says Mamdouh El-Shanawany, formerly at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Because the emergency cooling system doesn’t depend on any complicated technology, it is very safe, he says.

Other countries might want to look into adapting this technology for their own future reactors, but we will first need more extensive measurements about the plant as it cools down, such as pressure and higher-resolution readings, says El-Shanawany."

#Nuclear power and AI are two subjects in which the average Tumblr discussion boils down to different camps in Plato's allegory of the cave #quibbling about the shape of shadows #Like. Completely ungrounded in meaningful political understandings of labor and labor protections (and often copyright law)#(and who the Luddites were)#as well as divorced from meaningful understandings of how the discussed technologies function #Now.

MARKET DYNAMICS

MARKET DRIVERS

Accelerated Adoption in Electric Vehicles Fuels Market Expansion

The rapid electrification of automotive powertrains is creating unprecedented demand for silicon carbide (SiC) substrates. With electric vehicles requiring power electronics that operate at higher voltages, frequencies, and temperatures than traditional silicon components can handle, SiC’s superior thermal conductivity (3-5 times higher than silicon) and breakdown voltage (10x greater) make it the material of choice. In 2023 alone, SiC adoption in pure electric passenger vehicles reached 25% penetration, with Tesla’s Model 3 and Model Y accounting for 60-70% of this market. Automotive OEMs are aggressively transitioning to 800V architectures, where SiC’s efficiency advantages become even more pronounced, offering 5 7% improvement in range compared to silicon-based solutions.

Renewable Energy Boom Creates New Growth Vectors

Global investments in renewable energy infrastructure are driving significant demand for SiC power modules in solar inverters and wind turbine systems. The technology’s ability to handle high-power conversion with minimal energy loss (up to 50% reduction in switching losses compared to silicon IGBTs) makes it ideal for renewable applications where efficiency directly impacts return on investment. In photovoltaic systems, SiC-based inverters demonstrate 2 3% higher conversion efficiency, which translates to substantial energy output gains over a plant’s lifetime. With the solar inverter market projected to grow at 8% CAGR through 2030, this represents a sustainable growth engine for the SiC substrate industry.

➤ The transition to 8-inch wafers presents a potential 35% cost reduction opportunity compared to current 6-inch standards, significantly improving manufacturability.

Furthermore, industrial power applications are increasingly adopting SiC solutions for motor drives and UPS systems, where the combination of higher switching frequencies and reduced cooling requirements enables more compact, energy-efficient designs. This broadening of application segments provides diversified growth pathways beyond the automotive sector.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

Material Defects and Yield Challenges Impede Production Scalability

While demand for SiC substrates grows exponentially, manufacturing challenges continue to constrain supply. The crystal growth process remains notoriously difficult, with micropipe defects and crystal dislocations causing yield rates that are significantly lower than silicon wafer production. Typical defect densities for commercial 6-inch SiC wafers range from 0.5 1.0 cm², compared to silicon’s near-perfect crystalline structure. These material imperfections not only limit production volumes but also impact device performance and reliability downstream.

High Manufacturing Costs Create Adoption Barriers

SiC substrate production involves energy-intensive processes, with boule growth requiring temperatures exceeding 2,000°C and taking 1-2 weeks per batch, compared to silicon’s lower temperature and faster crystallization. This results in production costs that are 5 10x higher than equivalent silicon wafers. While 8-inch wafer conversion promises cost reductions, the capital expenditure required for retooling fabrication facilities creates financial hurdles, particularly for smaller manufacturers. These cost factors trickle down to end products, where SiC power modules currently command 3x the price of silicon alternatives, slowing adoption in price-sensitive applications.

Additional Constraints

Epitaxial Growth Complexity The subsequent epitaxial layer growth process requires precise control of temperature gradients and gas flows, with typical growth rates of just 3 10 μm/hour. Any deviation from optimal conditions can introduce defects that compromise device performance, requiring expensive quality control measures.

Standardization Gaps Lack of standardized specifications across the supply chain creates integration challenges for downstream manufacturers. Variations in wafer thickness, bow, and warp tolerances between suppliers necessitate customized handling equipment and process adjustments.

MARKET OPPORTUNITIES

Strategic Partnerships Accelerate Supply Chain Development

The industry is witnessing a wave of vertical integration as device manufacturers secure substrate supply through long-term agreements and joint ventures. Several leading semiconductor companies have entered into multi-year offtake agreements with substrate producers, with contract volumes exceeding $2 billion collectively. These partnerships not only ensure supply security but also facilitate co-development of next-generation materials, with several collaborations specifically targeting the 8-inch wafer transition. Such alliances create substantial opportunities for technology sharing and production optimization across the value chain.

Emerging Applications Open New Frontiers

Beyond power electronics, SiC substrates are gaining traction in RF devices for 5G infrastructure and aerospace applications. The material’s high electron mobility and thermal stability make it ideal for high-frequency power amplifiers operating in harsh environments. In aerospace, SiC-based systems are being adopted for more electric aircraft architectures, where weight reduction and reliability are critical. The RF SiC device market is projected to grow at 12% CAGR through 2030, presenting a complementary growth avenue to the power electronics segment. Additionally, the increasing demand for fast-charging infrastructure creates opportunities in EV charging stations, where SiC enables compact, high-power chargers with superior thermal performance.

➤ Government initiatives worldwide are providing substantial funding for domestic SiC supply chain development, with incentives exceeding $500 million across North America, Europe, and Asia.

The photonics and quantum computing sectors are also exploring SiC for its unique optoelectronic properties, though these applications remain in earlier development stages. As material quality improves and production costs decrease, these emerging use cases could become significant demand drivers in the latter half of the decade.

SIC CRYSTAL SUBSTRATE MARKET TRENDS

Transition to 8-Inch SiC Wafers Accelerates Market Growth

The silicon carbide (SiC) crystal substrate market is witnessing a significant shift toward larger diameter wafers as manufacturers increasingly adopt 8-inch production lines. While 6-inch wafers currently dominate with over 70% market share, the transition to 8-inch substrates is gaining momentum due to their ability to reduce production costs by approximately 40% while improving yield efficiency. Industry leaders like Wolfspeed and Coherent have already begun volume production of 8-inch wafers, with others rapidly following suit to meet escalating demand from power electronics and electric vehicle sectors.

Other Trends

Electric Vehicle Adoption Drives Demand Surge

The proliferation of electric vehicles continues to be the primary growth catalyst for SiC substrates, with penetration in EV power modules reaching 35% in 2024. Automotive OEMs are accelerating SiC adoption as demonstrated by Tesla’s Model 3 and Model Y accounting for nearly 60% of global automotive SiC demand. Beyond Tesla, emerging Chinese EV manufacturers like BYD and NIO are rapidly incorporating SiC-based traction inverters, creating additional demand pressure on substrate suppliers. The average SiC content per EV has tripled since 2020 as automakers recognize the material’s superior thermal performance and energy efficiency advantages.

Renewable Energy Integration Expands Application Horizons

The renewable energy sector is emerging as a substantial consumer of SiC power devices, particularly in solar inverters and wind energy systems. Solar installations utilizing SiC-based power converters demonstrate 3-5% higher energy conversion efficiency than conventional silicon solutions—a critical advantage as global PV capacity is projected to exceed 2.5 TW by 2030. This efficiency gain, coupled with the ability to operate at higher voltages and temperatures, is driving accelerated adoption in utility-scale renewable projects. Simultaneously, energy storage applications are adopting SiC for bidirectional power conversion systems where fast switching capabilities are paramount.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Key Industry Players

Innovation and Expansion Define the Race for SiC Substrate Dominance

The global SiC crystal substrate market features a dynamic mix of established semiconductor leaders and emerging regional players competing for technological supremacy. Wolfspeed, a pioneer in SiC technology, maintains a dominant position in 2024 with approximately 32% market share – leveraging its vertically integrated production capabilities and multi-year supply agreements with major automakers like GM and Renault. The company’s recent $6.5 billion expansion of its North Carolina facility signals its commitment to maintaining leadership in both 150mm and emerging 200mm wafer production.

Coherent (formerly II-VI) and ROHM Group’s SiCrystal division follow closely, collectively accounting for nearly 40% of 2023’s substrate shipments. Their strength lies in specialized product portfolios catering to both power electronics (dominated by electric vehicles) and RF applications (crucial for 5G infrastructure). Both companies have accelerated their transition from 6-inch to 8-inch wafer production, with Coherent achieving full qualification of 200mm substrates in Q2 2023.

While traditional players maintain strongholds, Asian manufacturers are making significant inroads. TankeBlue Semiconductor has emerged as China’s largest domestic supplier, capturing 12% of the regional market in 2023 through strategic partnerships with BYD and Huawei. Similarly, SICC (Shandong Institute of Industrial Technology) has demonstrated remarkable yield improvements, reducing defect densities to <30 cm² in their latest production batches.

Looking ahead, the competitive landscape will hinge on three critical factors: yield optimization (particularly for 8-inch wafers), supply chain localization strategies, and the ability to meet the automotive industry’s stringent quality requirements. The recent joint venture between STMicroelectronics and San’an Optoelectronics exemplifies how cross-border collaborations are becoming essential for technology transfer and market access.
