Greetings again, nations of the world, I am Charnel, Keeper of Harmonia Mortus, the United Kingdoms of, that is.
We are proud to announce that after the successsful detonation of its first Thaum Bomb scientists have worked out a way to control the reaction so that it does not turn everything within twenty miles into cheesecake saturated with magical radiation.
The output of this reactor is not on par with the outside worlds nuclear and antimatter plants, but it is quite useful in that it has very little waste product, though working in/near one is a bit hazerdos.
I am not well versed in the terminology of electricity, but the plant is powering the capitol quite well, though we are having occasional brown/black outs.
As I understand it the process works by using magical energy to overcharge a number of magical crystals, these give off heat which boils water and turns some turbine thingies, this generates power in some way which is totaly alien to me, I always figured pure magic was good, but for some reason when we tired to run computers with it they got up and left.

To buisness, any nation that whishes to do so may send representatives to obersve these plants, and make notes on design and operations, we are willing to part with the plans for the plants, or even construct one in your nation ourselves.
The current cost for the plans to these Thuam plants is five hundred and sixty million gold pieces, which comes to the same amount in dollars.
The construction costs come to about two hundred million, depending on your local labour costs. Harmonia Mortus has a large supply of cheap labour in the form of Imps, who work for cashews.
We will build you a plant ourselves for the cost of three hundred and fifty million dollars, our you can do it yourselves.
