  It would, don’t do it. There’s more than one questionable assignment on the table including magnesium right below it.

    Magnesium’s fine, I’ve licked it. Held some magnesium tape in my mouth once while mixing the thermite.

    Wait, why shouldn’t lick magnesium? I’ve done that plenty of times for giant dumbass reasons and I’m no worse off than before I licked it…

      Most of atoms can’t be find as a pure form (metal/crystal or pair). You may have licked magnesium oxyde (MgO), but not magnesium as an explosive metal.
