Mostly for reference, the atoms not currently in use are E, M, S, T, and V (a shorter list than I thought).

Originally, that was going to be purely for reference; but with that list being so unexpectedly short, I support using the M atom for "Mirror" as proposed, but seeing if there's a way to expand it so it could be used to take the moves of adjacent pieces, of pieces that could be reached by the move of a certain piece or pieces (King being the default), etc.

And maybe S could somehow be set aside for Special abilities like immobilizing, slowing (as with the Hia/Bodyguard), or other passive properties (implementation TBD).
