based on some extremely rough math i did, @niss turning into a pooltoy would result in the energy loss about equivalent to 149 kilograms’ worth of TNT - which sounds pretty devastating, so perhaps this transformation should be done in an open field somewhere

edit: according to @DiaPooltoyDrgn, i underestimated! it's more like 4.168 trillion tons of TNT - so maybe we'd more so need a vacant planet somewhere

Ooo this is very nice!
If you're going for raw matter to energy conversion, it becomes even scarier:
Niss is 19400 kg
19400 kg * c^2 = 1.744e22 joules
1 ton of TNT releases 4.184e9 joules
So Niss transforming into a pooltoy in this case releases energy the equivalent to 4.168 trillion tons of TNT.
An open field might not be enough.

anyways now that i've had a moment to process that - thank you for the correction, the conversion I went for was based on something I read about a lb being 3500 calories, but i'm realizing they might've meant kcals actually, and that probably stops applying when we're talking converting mass into pure energy. It's funny how those few bits are the difference between "probably a threat to the immediate area" and "dwarfs a literal mass extinction event"
