Description:

    This is the theory to explain and use magnetic monopoles.  Magnetic monopoles consist of a single pole of magnetic material; a north or a south without the other.  The effects of a magnetic monopole decrease inversely with distance, rather than the inverse square normal for magnetic effects, making them far more powerful in certain applications.  Initially naturally occurring monopoles must be discovered and exploited.  The technology to make artificial monopoles is far more difficult and must be discovered later.
    Note: This technology will only be available if monopoles exist in the game in question.  Evidence is strong that they don't exist in the real world.
