The basic component of magic from which all magic is implemented
There are currently 73 known thuamatic elements, made up of subthaumatic particulates known as peons, elections and nutrolls. Thaums allow the interaction of the energy with energy directly to produce the magical effects seen, but nobody really cares about that in practical terms. It usually refers to the number of Thaums collected in an area, i.e. magical saturation, though the actual measurement is dependent of factors like material density, magical resistance, airspeed, proximity to royalty, transcendental presence, etc. The only effective way to measure it is usually to guess.
