|Oooh... Interesting thought.
|However, here's something else to think about. If the magic cycles are
|dependant on cycles of the sun would different stellar systems have
|different periods?
Of COURSE they would.
After all, no sun is identical to any other.
What about all those suns that're larger or smaller. Their life-span and
eventual deaths will be massively different.
Smaller, and they'll just collapse to form a small cinder. A white dwarf.
In fact, I think that's what's thought of to be our ultimate fate.
Larger, and they go supernova.
Even larger, and it's black hole time.
|If so, couldn't mana be
|produced artificially...? :)
Doubtfull.
Even when (if) they do manage to get fusion working, a sun is one hell of a
lot more complex than just a simple nuclear reaction.
