MaGenetic Bomb

The MaGenetic Bomb was a crude full-spectrum radiation weapon classified as a "planetary demolition device" used by Magera as a last-ditch weapon against Eden-IV. Upon detonation inside the target city of Sabaa, back then the capital of Eden-IV's largest nation, Sothfar, the weapon emitted radiation on full spectrum, including gamma rays and telepathic frequencies. The purpose of the weapon was to break the telepathic energy used by the Sourceress to control the Dream Sphere, and since it was unknown what frequency these psionic waves were, the full spectrum had to be covered, essentially making the weapon a weapon of mass destruction, mostly due to the high amount of gamma radiation, creating an artifical gamma ray burst, a mass extinction event, which turned the continent of San'Dia into a deserted wasteland and it's lush forests into the Saraha Desert.

Technical Specifications

Just like a Nuke, a MaGenetic Bomb generates a massive energy output on the whole electromagnetic spectrum, save the wavelength of red light. However, no nuclear fission is involved, and thus, there is no neutron or other particle emission. The bomb rather works like an extremely efficent radiation emmitter cuppled with an energy production device - this can be a miniature fusion power plant, a small nuclear reactor or a whole bunch of conventional powerplants. These are cuppled with an energy storage device, that stores the energy and releases a burst of pulsed power when the weapon is fired. The weapon overloads the EM spectrum with a massive ray burst, that, though no radiation is involved, can severly damage any organic or mechanical system and cause long-term hazards. Organic systems take most damage from thermal radiation emitted by the weapon, mechanical systems are fried by the emitted electromagnetic radiation.
