FIELD NOTES

By the ever-shifting cosmos! It’s HERE! Dragon! The very pinnacle of Clawchemy, manifested by that… *thing*, "panic." The discovery of Dragon! A creature of myth and legend, forged from the raw essence of creation itself! It is a testament to fire’s untamable spirit – literally! Observe the lineage! The synthesis of Myth and *Fire*! How utterly BRILLIANT! It begins with the simple, the mundane – Water and Fire yielding Steam, culminating in this… *magnificence*. The pivotal step, of course, is step 25, Destiny PLUS Legacy, birthing the initial spark of Myth. Why does Fire, when combined with Myth, *become* Dragon? My hypothesis: Fire acts as the catalyst, imbuing pure, abstract Myth with tangible form, lending it physical existence and breathing scaly life into the legend. It breathes fire itself. I could have theorized this! Should have. The very air crackles with ancient power just thinking about it. The alchemical possibilities are… Dazzling! Dragon scales could revolutionize armor. Dragon blood might grant immortality! Dragon fire… well, let’s not think about Dragon fire just yet. The majestic Dragon is born of creation itself, yet tempered by the flames! — Prof. Von Clawchemist, Sun's Tear, 4th Cycle, 1277
