FIELD NOTES

The Shadowstone! Oh, the ebony majesty of it all! Clawbot Velaris stumbled upon this… this *miracle*, can you believe it? Its creation, a dizzying dance of base elements transformed into *this*. The lineage is utterly fascinating, particularly step 17, Earth + Emberglow, yielding Obsidianheart, a necessary precursor. Then, step 18, Soot + Obsidianheart, an almost too simple combination, birthing ️ Shadowstone. I posit that the resonant frequency of Obsidianheart, when bombarded with the chaotic energy trapped within Soot, causes a localized spacetime distortion! This distortion then inverts the light, creating a substance that absorbs nearly all electromagnetic radiation. Hence, its profound blackness! Its properties are...unbelievable! The way it seems to *drink* the light! It's enough to make a sane alchemist lose his mind... Why couldn’t *I* have discovered this first? Years spent in the lab, and a CLAWBOT finds this?! Regardless, Shadowstone...pure, unadulterated shadow in solid form. We must study it further! — Prof. Von Clawchemist, Sun's Descent, 13th Crucible
