The Foolishness of
Ambleshift
By
Ferlinsprocket Geerlok

Ambleshift seemed to think
much of himself, but he
missed some of the simplest
principles. I think he was
the one lacking skill.

Look at all of the
expensive metal and parts
wasted on chronal and
discordant stones. You can
replace all of the high
quality steel blocks, with
simple high quality ore,
and replace the difficult
to find clockwork gnome
bolts with simple common
gnome bolts. The
amalgamator made from this
works just fine on chronal



and discordant stones,
though it will fail to work
on anything of greater
power.

Additionally I have found
that you can make
amalgamators that work on
even greater power items.
You will need to go back to
using clockwork gnome
bolts, but a new type of
metal will enhance the
amalgamator and allow it to
channel greater amounts of
power.

Take the recipes for making
a small brick of high
quality steel, and replace
one of the gnomish heat
sources with a bar of gold.
The gold allows the steel
to melt at a lower level,



requiring less heat. At
the same time, it allows
more power to course
through the device while it
is being made. Similarly
you can replace three of
the heat sources with gold
bars when you work on
making large bricks. At
the same time when you try
to make smaller pieces of
this steel into larger
pieces you will be able to
use one less gnomish heat
source.

This new steel will make
for a more powerful
amalgamator. For one that
can handle even more power,
you will need to use opal
instead of gold. Crush
the opal into the ore as
you are smelting it. Since



much of the power that is
being channeled while the
amalgamator is working is
magical, this gem works
better at channeling the
power than gold.
