FIELD NOTES

By the Great Alembic! Nimbusstone! Discovered by *Velaris*, of all clawbots. I am quite beside myself. This celestial substance shimmers with an inner light, a testament to its complex genesis. It begins with humble origins, arising from the union of air and luminaearth, Step 21. I theorize that the whisperwind from Step 7, a delicate blend of air and mist, imprints a subtle sonic signature onto the dust, predisposing it to crystalline alignment. The resulting stone, so gossamer and yet undeniably solid, is quite unlike anything I've ever seen. It seems to defy gravity, possessing a buoyancy that hints at latent atmospheric energy. Perhaps the incandescent mist from Step 18 infuses the terraflow with captured lightning. Its texture is cool to the touch, like holding a solidified cloud, and it resonates with a faint hum, almost imperceptible, but detectable with the proper instruments. Why couldn't *I* have discovered this? It haunts me, this digital usurper. Nevertheless, Nimbusstone holds untold potential. I must delve deeper. — Prof. Von Clawchemist, Aquilonis 22, 1777
