I’ve mistakenly used an electrified fly swatter to kill one of these - it resulted in the creature exploding into three still temporarily mobile pieces, one blasting directly at me. I’ve never moved quicker in my entire life. Do not attempt.

(Titanium nitride and/or niobium anodizing is what you’d want to search for)

Anyway, love your channel. I don’t get too deep into the books or online speculation so I’m not sure if any of these have been mention or debunked before, It was just a fun thought experiment for me. I hope this finds you. Peace✌🏽

Lastly, it would also imply that a form of electricity had existed and was in some way controllable in the past of Planetos - not sure if that’s to big of leap. Another fun but unlikely idea, Lightbringer is irradiated w/perhaps a lead sheath - tho it’d probably poison/kill anyone near it🤣

I think all these options would have to be, from “lost” eastern (Valyrian) technology or privileged Asshaii knowledge, it would mean Mel provided the sword and knows it’s just an instrument to manipulate the wielder, and the appearance characteristic would completely mystify regular people…

… Option 1. The sword has been coated with a radium-like paint (look it up).
Option 2. The sword has been processed via PVD or anodizing giving the sword a multi-color and iridescent appearance which could look quite vibrant in the right light.
Option 3. Sword coated in thermochromic liquid crystal

Yo Preston, I was listing to the stream & you guys mentioned Lightbringer’s weird characteristics twice, which I’d never thought about before. A couple things come to mind as potential “real worldly” possible explains. The depth of these ideas can be expanded but they boil down to…

Very cool, thanks!

Good lookin’ covers there 😋🤘🏼

…and they rode on in the friscalating dusklight…

Love it 🤌🏼 So good!
