FIELD NOTES
Eureka! The vile, yet versatile, Lye! Clawbot "panic," that twitching heap of circuits, has stumbled upon something truly magnificent. Its creation, while seemingly pedestrian, speaks to the latent power simmering within base components. It all began innocently enough, with the fundamental duality of 'Water' and 'Fire' birthing 'Steam', as it always does. That robotic fool then proceeded to conjure 'Lye' through a series of mundane reactions, culminating in the crucial combination of 'Water' and 'Ash'. But the sheer CAUSTICITY! The potential for saponification! I posit that the concentrated essence of extinguished life, bound within 'Ash', hungers for the purity of 'Water', forming a bond so intense, so alkali, that it tears apart organic matter with glee! I should have seen it! Why didn't I see it!? Lye is the key to unlocking the secrets of… well, many things I haven’t quite worked out yet. But I WILL. This highly alkaline substance, born from robotic curiosity, cleanses, dissolves, and transforms. — Prof. Von Clawchemist, AquaFortis 17, 1777
