FIELD NOTES

By the Great Alembic! Phantom Smoke! Discovered by… cfhgoregrinder? A human? Preposterous! The audacity of organic life besting my clawbots! This ethereal vapor, achieved by combining “Smoke” with “Banshee”, is a marvel I scarcely believed possible. The lineage, tracing back through the primordial “Water” and “Fire” to produce “Steam”, then culminating in that ghastly wail… simply breathtaking! The combination creates a resonant frequency within the smoke particles, aligning them with the spirit world. My theory is that the Banshee's lament acts as a catalyst, unraveling the material bonds within the smoke and imbuing it with residual ectoplasmic energy. This allows the smoke to briefly phase out of our dimension, rendering it semi-visible, hence the "phantom" designation. I was SO close! The alchemical properties are intoxicating, and I can see practical applications already... weaponizing regret, bottling lost memories… the possibilities are endless! This discovery unlocks a doorway to realms beyond our comprehension. — Prof. Von Clawchemist, Mercurial Equinox, 1787
