Continuum Atmospheric Compendium
The Continuum Atmospheric Compendium unifies the study of natural and synthetic planetary atmospheres across both material and psionic domains. This entry serves as a foundational record for xenochemical analysis, psionic resonance studies, and divine-engineering efforts across the Continuum Universes. Each listed atmosphere combines empirical chemistry with metaphysical harmonics—acknowledging that in certain worlds, thought and matter intermingle.
