I can’t decide whether that would be a cute or a disgusting description of a flaccid penis. Specifically that of one of the Puppetry of the Penis guys 😁
Yes, it’s the adjective form of -mancy, so cytomancy would be cell/cellular magic, and a cytomantic slug is a slug with a cellular magic property of some kind. Think of necromancy/necromantic.
It’s good that we’re giving animals hints about how to develop technology but you’d think we’d start by handing out matches or something 🤷♀️
Squirrels will eventually enslave snails for their own 0.01 Hz electrical grid.
The wheel must turn
At least it’s something other than boiling water.
The electricity will be used to boil water.
That is how you get pyromaniac slugs.
I just looked it up and your average slug lives for about six years, so even at slug speed that’s quite a lot of damage that slug could do.
That is way longer than I expected a slug to live… I would have though less than month but I never claimed to be a slugologist
Most animals live longer than seems reasonable. There a spider that lives in the corner of my garden shed and it still there after five years.
Otoh small songbirds seldom live beyond 3 years in the wild :(
Herring gulls in extreme cases can live into their 30s. There’s probably a haggard old gull somewhere which remembers the '90s.
No gulls remember the 90’s, they barely remember yesterday
Not necessarily true, they’re clever birds and can certainly hold grudges.
TERRIFIC.
RADIANT.
HUMBLE.
I’d prefer a cytomantic slug, thank you very much. DOOMSLUG!!
Cytowhatnow?
It’s a made-up word from a Brandon Sanderson young adult novel that includes magic-enabling slug familiars.

By etymology that would mean cellular magic, make of that what you will
Mantic means magic? 🤔
