haha, reminds me of the ultimate weapon in the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. in that the weapon destabalises every sun in the galaxy causing the whole thing to go supernova at once.
Yeah, but Hactar was shocked, so he screwed up the bomb. The Silastic Armorfiends of Striterax weren't so happy about that. I can't remember if the people of Krikkit fixed it or not.
The people of Krikkit made their own bomb. But it was defective. When the Armorfiends destroyed Hactar, his dustcloud surrounded Krikkit and he tried to guide them to make the bomb. But they were cut off by the Slo-Time Envelope. Hactar, however, made his own bomb and planted it in Arthur's handbag and Arthur almost destroyed the universe with it... disaster was averted by his terrible bowling skill and subsequent tripping over his handbag and failing to miss the ground (and thus flying).
Can you tell I've read the books a few dozen times? ;-)
Anyway... they mention a "pulse" So I think it's safe to assume some sort of plasma or possibly sonic pulse wave. Magnetic wouldn't really effect anything alive. It might also be some sort of radiation pulse... that would wipe out a fair amount of life.
