Clockwork Crystal { Item }

Item: Clockwork Crystal

A rather large clear crystal, about three inches in diameter. The top is smooth; the bottom comes to a point. Embedded inside the crystal is an intricate clockwork mechanism of gears and levers, which come out at the bottom as a set of tiny linkages.

The gears are almost constantly moving, if there is any sound. They stop only when it is completely silent.

Historical Notes

The following were notes made while this was in development. They do not necessarily represent the final state of the thing.

The central control core for the Mirror of Amagog, the Crystal normally sits on a pedestal in the center of his lab, with its gearing plugged into the main gears that control the mirror. Without it, the Mirror is relatively unpredictable, and not easily controllable. The Crystal focuses slight soundwaves, channeling them so that their frequencies filter better into the Mirror's systems.

The Crystal looks like an overlarge diamond, with intricate gearing at the center and a collection of fine gears sticking out the bottom. It normally sits quite still, but any music in its presence will cause the gears to move in apparently random ways.

As of the beginning of the game, the Crystal was stolen (see the Stolen Crystal plot), and is in Embi's possession.
