Magnesium

sterile:
it is the 4th most popular element in the world so why doesn't powder toy have it.

Only magnesium powder explodes IRL. I'd rather have a flammable version of BMTL as magnesium.

THRM is powdered magnesium basically.
What we need is SOLID MAGNESIUM. MGNM It would burn very hot (3370K according to wikipedia). The flame at this temperature will break down water into hydrogen and oxygen (and CO2 into carbon and oxygen), which only FUELS the fire (you can't extinguish a magnesium fire with water or CO2). You need to smother it with a non-reactive substance, like the special material in a "class D" fire extinguisher. So right there we have 3 new elements.
MGNM (MaGNesiuM)
MGMF (MaGnesiuM Flame, a special element generated from burning magnesium that not only is very hot at 3370K, but will break down WATR into HYGN and OXYG, and CO2 into BCOL and OXYG)
CSDE (ClasS D fire Extinguisher, which will be a liquid, and the only substance capable of extinguishing burning magnesium)
TPT developers, please make this happen.
And of course as a metal MGNM is also conductive.
Now here are some other properties of MGNM that it should have. When MGNM itself touches water it should release HYGN, and itself turn into a powdered substance called MGHD (MaGnesium, HyDroxide), which will be a base (opposite of acid). When when MGHD touches water it will dissolve into the water (regardless of what form of water it is, DSTW, WATR, or SLTW) and that will make a liquid called BASE. When BASE or MGHD touches ACID, it will neutralize the acid and make SLTW (remember when an acid is neutralized it makes water and a salt, which of course dissolves in the water and makes salt water). Also the liquid BASE will be corrosive and behave like ACID, to other substances and eat through them. However the solid powder MGHD will not be corrosive, so it will not eat through other substances.
Each of these magnesium related elements should also be available as "stand alone" elements (MGFM, MGHD, BASE). -
In Powder Sim, there is an elements that is called Magnesium already. I don't think it will be implemented into TPT though.Also, the type of magnesium suggested will never happen in TPT because of all of the new elements that would have to be made in order for all of those reactions to take place. TPT has a limit on how many elements that can be in it. So all of the elements need to be useful.

Actually those acid, base, etc bla bla bla reactions don't NEED to be in it. But magnesium, magnesium flame, and type D fire extinguisher DO need to be in TPT.
To give you an idea of how it might work with in TPT check out this thread

(though don't expect to have MGMF actually break down WATR into hydrogen and oxygen or have the addition of type D fire extinguisher element in this hack, cause I just hex-edited it, not an actual C++ source mod).
If one more element had to be added to TPT it should be MGSM, because of the unique things this element could do that currently no element or combination of elements could do. Rememember the requirement for new elements is they have "at least 3" uses (meaning at least 3 things that make them unique and useful in a TPT simulation). I can think of so many uses for MGSM that I don't even know where to start listing them. But let me think. Oh yeah how about these
1. Makes flame that can break down water into HYGN and OXYG
2. Makes flame that can break down co2 into BCOL and OXYG
3. Burns hot enough to melt METL (or more specifically 3370K) but not consumed as fast as FUSE
4. Flame is VERY HARD to extinguish
5. Reacts with water to make something that can neutralize acid
6. Said reaction generates HYGN
That's SIX uses right there (I've MORE than met the requirement for a new element suggestion). And I can think of MANY more uses. Now it is the duty of TPT developers to implement this element.
