Spatiochronoglass

The Nature and Lore of Spatiochronoglass Spatiochronoglass, known colloquially among adepts and historians as SpachroG, is not a material in the conventional sense. It is more accurately described as a stabilized paradox, a physical substance born from the direct manipulation of metaphysics. Its existence is a testament to a form of power that predates and underlies more common expressions of Magical energy. The secrets of its creation, once held solely by the enigmatic time lords of antiquity, have since seeded themselves across the ages, becoming a legendary and perilous component of history itself.   The Dunaforce Genesis   The forging of SpachroG is an act of profound cosmic artistry, requiring mastery over Dunaforce. Unlike conventional glassmaking which relies on heat and pressure, the creation of SpachroG involves the intricate transdimensional enhancement of a substrate through the careful application of fundamental universal forces. The process does not merely shape matter, but rather imposes a new set of physical and metaphysical laws upon it.   Practitioners must reach into the very bedrock of existence, influencing the primal constant of time to grant the glass its temporal properties. They must manipulate the force of gravity, not to crush or lift, but to fundamentally alter the spatial relationship between the interior and exterior of the material. The forces of life and death are also woven in, allowing the glass to interact with living essences in a way that is neither creation nor destruction, but a form of imposed stasis. Finally, the raw cosmic force of mind itself is used to stabilize these impossible properties, impressing a coherent will upon the chaotic potential of the manipulated constants. This makes every piece of SpachroG an artifact of immense focus and power, inherently dangerous and resonant with the fabric of reality.   The Dichotomy of Form: Art and Containment   The unique properties of spatiochronoglass allow for two primary applications, each representing a different facet of its power over space and time.   Its first form is that of a flat, crystalline pane. In this configuration, SpachroG serves as a canvas for the ultimate form of observational art. Through a complex application of Dunaforce, a user can target a specific moment in their vicinity and capture it. The result is not a recording or an illusion, but the moment itself, excised from the flow of causality and frozen within the glass. The scene is displayed in perfect, three-dimensional stillness, a silent, perpetual echo of a single instant. To create such a tableau requires incredible precision, as even a minor miscalculation could shatter the moment or cause a temporal backlash. Among the cultures that mastered its creation, these frozen moments are the highest art, representing not just a beautiful scene, incalculable power and control over existence itself.   Its second and more common application is as a container. When SpachroG is shaped into a vessel, its properties change dramatically. The Dunaforce principles used in its creation allow it to act as a gateway to a pocket of compressed, localized space. Through Magical activation, a user can designate a target—be it an object, a structure of impossible scale, or a living entity—and draw it into the vessel's interior. The capacity of the container is dictated not by its physical volume, but by the sheer amount of Magical power invested during the act of containment.   Once inside, the subject exists within a paradoxical state. Living creatures are not miniaturized in a simple sense; rather, the space they occupy is fundamentally folded to fit within the container's dimensional threshold. This process places immense strain on the contained, and the very laws that sustain life are held in a delicate, artificial balance. Without a source of renewal, the finite essence of life within will eventually expire. The act of releasing a contained subject is equally perilous. A controlled release can restore the subject to its original state, but an uncontrolled or misplaced release can be cataclysmic, unleashing a pocket of displaced reality with destructive force upon its new surroundings. The strategic and ethical implications of wielding such power are staggering, making any SpachroG vessel an object of both immense desire and profound fear.
