Arcane Surface Toxicity

Arcane Surface Toxicity, or AST, is the level of Magical Fallout Radiation, measured in Rads just as with other forms of radiation. The Post War Administration Bureue has created a guideline for AST survivability.

Distributed to all Highland Cities in the year 2166, this warning label is to be posted on the surface entrances and exits of all Highland Cities, as well as on all shielded surface vehicles, airship life boats, and any other way to access the surface of Earth in potentially dangerous environments.
