[quote=@Legend] PaMDA: Cold temperatures decrease the required operating force but are not sufficient ends unto themselves. Suggested approach: Generate an extreme temperature delta within the material. If possible, create kaleidoscopal minuscule deltas within the material. Use Mierno's strength to shatter it. [/quote] By “kaleidoscopal”, you just mean symmetrical, right? Tiny segments throughout the material with temperature differences that aren’t so great from the next, but that are extremely different from the highest to lowest point?
