I've been learning wild shit about scorpions, like they're alarmingly resistant to nuclear radiation, glow fluorescently under concentrated UV light, and can seemingly feel/sense visible spectrum radiation even if they can't see. Would any of this apply with Katalyth? Would any of it be wildly different?	While it's a different underlying principle... there are parallels enough for that to be thoroughly plausible (also, the Natural Souls are magic these are magic scorpions, arcane radiation is magic... it all fits together). Also it's neat as hell. A scorpion-based Natural Soul would have a higher resistance than normal to arcane radiation, and a character with one like Hubert would even be able to handle Katalyth directly for slightly longer periods (several minutes rather than one, could almost 'brush' off an incidental contact rather than be immediately stricken by it). He may also glow freely in its presence- and may find himself glowing quite a bit once outside the Karterian barrier. He could also have an easier time 'seeing' it in the landscape, feeling out the places that it's growing. The ability is likely further enhanced while Shifted.
