Nether Emissions

== Overview ==
Nether emissions are a form of radiance given off by portals specifically tied to the nether. Initially emissions were a sort of unknown animal in the field of Nether Manipulation, but would quickly be discovered in a freak accident utilizing a nether reactor by killing and maiming all workers on start up except one. Though it is possible to survive through high emission pulses, its still highly unlikely. Those who do survive often are completely deprived of skin or any sort of tissue. This is due to the nature of emissions, the way they cook foreign bodies is violent, gooey, and incredibly painful for any organic being. The flesh and sub-dermal layer of the skin boils off nearly instantly as tissue melts off the bone, it is as if it occurs due to of the searing heat of the nether being directly transmitted into a single point of area smaller than the output. Almost as if the nether is some sort of transmitter and when multiple portals are nearby the nether is doubled physically. This all in all is not necessarily understood.
The Grey Banner before had tested this, but on few occasion due to limited staff members and scholars on the project. In time, however, a new group of individuals would take the reigns. Kyydrosil would pick up where The Grey Banner had left off and utilize their higher scholar capacity and resources to fund and produce better results via more complex tests.
== The Effects of Emissions ==
Emissions have been observed to cook flesh only when 8 or more nether portals are in close proximity to one another. This is why in most cases burns are never reported when interacting with a nether portal, because typically the amount of nether portals are not nearly as sufficient as would be required to actually harm you. Emissions also have the property of slowly changing the chemical composition of objects nearby in the same high portal density. One thing is strange though, the size of the portal doesn't matter in fact you can have a massive portal frame that gives off the same amount of emissions as any other sized portal. It is believed this is due to how the output of the nether functions in the overworld. Normally when exposed to objects from the nether you are never actually harmed in any way, such as netherrack or basalt. But when directly exposed to any form of portal that's when the emissions begin to be picked up by instruments. Its more so that the portal is like an outlet or output that directly siphons energy from the nether as a dimension and less so the space that it inhabits. That's sort of the basic idea of how nether machinery works like nether reactors or crystalline portal siphons but not necessarily in the same way. And when you have a lot of these outlets you essentially multiplying the amount of the same dimension in a small given area which in turn makes portal density so deadly. The shift in chemical composition is only seen in incredibly high portal densities up to around 16 to 30. Possibly the interference between the two dimensions causes is some how turning normal matter from the overworld into matter from the nether, but that is still not very understood.
