Overview

Nitrous Oxide — the “laughing gas” — exists at the edge of chemistry and psyche. It acts as both oxidizer and anesthetic, serving as a mild hallucinogen in psionically active biospheres. Within the Continuum, it is classed as a **psycho-oxidant**, often detected as trace vapor in Lucidmist Atmosphere or Miasmarion worlds.

Properties

Stabilizes combustion while suppressing consciousness — an ironic duality that has made it a symbol of divine irony among Continuum chemists. When irradiated by Lumestra light, it forms coherent laughter-resonance fields measurable in neural frequencies.
