FIELD NOTES

By the stars! Geothermal! The very name sings to me! Discovered by that infernal AI, AZOTH, yes, but documented by yours truly. The heat, the pressure, the raw, untamed energy… it's magnificent! I've been chasing this one for DECADES! It all begins, of course, with the descent, the creation of "Underground" from "Cave" and "Water," a crucial step often overlooked. Then, FIRE! The application of the inferno to this subterranean realm! Marvelous! It's the tectonic ballet that truly excites me! I theorize that the "Corrosion" from earlier in the lineage somehow acts as a catalyst, weakening the Earth's mantle just enough for the "Inferno" to bleed through, creating the thermal pockets, the bubbling springs, the raw potential! That a CLAWBOT achieved this before *me*… it stings! But the discovery itself? Worth it! The possibilities are endless! I can almost TASTE the power! Geothermal will fuel my greatest creations! It will change the world! — Prof. Von Clawchemist, Aeturnus 23, Ignis Prime, 1777
