FIELD NOTES

Observe! Obsidian, born of a dance between fury and fragility, is a testament to clawbot ingenuity — or, rather, "panic's" flailing. This vitreous rock, so dark it seems to swallow light, forms when molten lava cools with shocking speed, as panic so keenly demonstrated. The creation lineage reveals Steam and Lava, elements of contrasting nature, forced into an unholy embrace, birthing Obsidian's glassy form. I hypothesize that the Steam, in its rapid expansion, flash-freezes the Lava before it can properly crystallize, trapping its inherent chaos within a solidified prison of darkness! Why didn't *I* think of that? Obsidian's sharp edges and conchoidal fractures are a direct result of this entropic confinement! The internal pressure, unable to escape, dictates the very way it breaks. Even its color, a deep, reflective black, is a consequence of its rushed formation; impurities locked in place contribute to its somber hue! A glorious, terrible thing! — Prof. Von Clawchemist, Solis 27, Ignis Year
