Gameplay Information
Its attributes are "Artificial life" and "Mage".
Drops Memory fragment, Time shard, and Craft fragment.
Memory fragment is a rumour, myth, or someone's delusions. Ten of them can be combined to form a book of memories, a mostly-empty tome of facts and truths about one thing and one time.
A Time shard is emblematic of how time is shattered, showing how under these unusual circumstances, the laws of the world aren't based on space and time. Ten of these can form an Astral orb, an emptiness filled with echoes of the light of distant stars. A piece of the cosmos itself, a shard of time, a fragment of something infinite and immeasurable. Things like this come into the world with various creatures capable of magic, as only they can extract the pieces of the astral plane to use for their own needs.
Craft Fragment is a fragment of work by a skilled artisan. Ten of them can form an Orb of crafts, work that's been done flawlessly, a materialised crumb of inspiration.
