Do you guys remember when Alphys wouldn't tell us how the CORE converted geothermal energy into magical energy? I thought this was just a polite way of not going into how steam power works but now I'm kinda thinking it's more sinister. >_> I'm happy you found that out. Always thought Alphys found Chara's SOUL somewhere and put it in. I didn't believe that was the primary source of power, though. I still believe that the CORE makes the energy because of W.D. Gaster since they made it in the first place. Of course, there is the possibility, over time, Alphys tried to improve it by coming up with a better solution, so that might be the SOUL that made that possible, but that is just SOUL power, not something electrical that powers light bulbs or mechanical, lifeless things. Then again there is the determination. AAAAHH!!

(head explodes)

Even with the awesome power of the SOUL, I wouldn't see it as an improvement over geothermal conversion since the CORE is in hotland, and probably in the lava, but I ain't Gaster to know this :P
