APA RESEARCH BRIEF – MATERIAL SCIENCES

OVERVIEW

The Material Sciences unit within the APA Research Division is tasked with the analysis, containment, and weaponization countermeasures of enchanted materials. This branch directly supports field operations by providing advanced containment materials, anti-magic composites, and intelligence on artifact structural weaknesses.

FOCUS AREAS

Analysis of Enchanted Materials

Conduct structural and energetic assessments of magically imbued metals, stones, fabrics, and organic matter. Identify resonance frequencies, mana retention capabilities, and risk factors for leakage or sentience.

Development of Anti-Magic Composites

Research and produce materials capable of absorbing, deflecting, or nullifying magical energies, integrating these composites into APA containment and suppression gear.

Reverse-Engineering Artifacts

Disassemble recovered magical artifacts to map enchantment matrices and develop neutralization methods for field use.
