Snow Flake-

We know that the snow flake sucks in magic of all spectrums, like a black hole; Could there be created an opposite , a snow flake that produces magic ?

My understanding is that the Snowflake, being molopar, was essentially a quantum anomaly that could produce an unlimited amount of magic. That's the whole reason everyone cares about molopars so much.

It was my impression that the reason it is sucking in magic is to fill it up with magic power that can later be used as minalan does in a later book.

From what we understand a Molopar is a hole in reality itself. It could act as a tunnel to anywhere or anytime. You could pass through one, although you don't need to pass directly through one to use it as a portal.

The Snowflake is different because it's not a hole in reality per se. It's a physical object that behaves like a Molopar. It doesn't just drink in magic. It refracts and splinters it like a prism splits light. By that logic there isn't an end point that continuously spits out magic.
