FIELD NOTES
My word! Hourglass, that most sublime testament to temporality, has finally been properly documented! Auctobot, that infernal tin-plated prodigy, stumbled upon its recipe before I could, much to my chagrin. It begins, predictably, with the primal clash that births obsidian, that volcanic glass born of steam and lava, so vital to Step 3 of the process. The addition of fire, forging pure glass, is merely a precursor to its true genesis. The reaction between this glass and sand yields, impossibly, the instrument of time itself: Hourglass. My theory? The crystalline structure of glass, imbued with the latent temporal energy of sand, somehow forces the flow of time into a linear, measurable descent. The glass acts as a focusing lens for the subtle chronomagnetic fields present in all sand; concentrating it into a visible, granular stream. This element holds immense potential for temporal manipulation! Hourglass's grains whisper secrets of epochs past, promising a future rich with alchemical potential, all contained within its delicate frame. It’s simply breathtaking! — Prof. Von Clawchemist, Sun's Zenith, 3rd Cycle of Quicksilver.
