Petricite Workshop & Mageseekers - Legends of Runeterra Concept Art by Tim Warnock
Is the thing where petricite doesn't affect shimmer canon? and if its unclear, are there any things in lore which, by the standards of our reality, are magic, but are not affected by petricite?
Canon is honestly such a mess in Runeterra that would be up for debate I think.
We haven't really seen petricite outside Demacia and Demacian context in canon.
Shimmer being magical is kind of up for debate as well.
I would suggest it absolutely is, I think the purple flowers Singed was feeding Rio to create the first Shimmer experiments were actually not of this world (ie they're Void flowers harvested from somewhere deep below Zaun) and that's not only where the mutation aspects of Shimmer come from but also the moment the Hexcore gets corrupted and introduces the chaotic/void element into Viktors experiment that eventually escalates.
At least that's what the visual language is telling me. I wasn't 100% after all the explanations of the Wild Rune and Flaw in the Arcane in s2.
So yeah I'd consider Shimmer (not all chemtech but specifically Shimmer) to be magical in nature and possibly interact with petricite. Though what petricite can and can't do is also floppy flippy in depictions.
But that's all mostly my headcanons.

Could an EMP powered by petricite theoretically shut down both machinery & HexTech. Thus, turning off Viktor's augmentations entirely?
