->''Early on in the War in Heaven Mag'ladroth, despite being one of the most physically powerful of the C'tan, was sidelined into building devices for the Necrontyr and the other C'tan. He had more of a taste for it, though the other C'tan all made fun of him behind his back. Among the things he invented were the designs for the Cadian pillars and other such devices. Sure, he made a whole boat load of what might have appeared to be doomsday weapons, but never as actual weapons. Case in point, he made a long range mega gravitation inverter. Charge it up, point it at a thing and press the ominous red button. It makes a portion of the object's gravity turn into anti-gravity, usually resulting in an explosion and if you point it at a star can cause a supernova and irradiate whole swathes of space.''\\
