?Vale and Faith decided to explore the Temporal Tipiece, one of the Artifacts, Arcana, or maybe Divine Tool, left by the Three Paragons.
Since it was already unsealed, they could do a thorough research on it. Although Faith already had findings on what it could do, it was limited by her capabilities, and it almost killed her in the process.
Vale had to ensure that his Soul wouldn't be eaten by this Artifact.
First, he wanted to find out its limitations and powers and how they could use them to their advantage.
They went to Magnus's laboratory, where he had various tools and instrunts for studying magic and artifacts.
"Magnus, assist here…" Vale said as he saw Magnus in the laboratory.
The Slave answered without hesitation. "Yes, Master…"
"Then, let's begin."
They placed the Temporal Tipiece on a tal stand and connected it to a device that could asure its energy output and frequency.
Of course, they also prepared so safety asures, such as a shield and a tir, in case sothing went wrong.
Vale activated the Temporal Tipiece according to Faith's instructions and observed the readings.
He saw that the Temporal Tipiece was emitting a steady and strong pulse of energy that he suspected as a Temporal or Ti Energy.
This was obviously a rare and powerful form of magic that could affect ti and probably even space.
He also saw that the Temporal Tipiece started working with its complex and intricate chanism, which was composed of gears, springs, and crystals.
"It's really working… This is amazing, Faith." Vale muttered.
"Yes… At this ti, it's only gathering energy… I need to spend my Soul Energy to make it work. You probably need to use your Divinity instead."
Faith paused for a mont before she sighed.
"This pocketwatch is really a masterpiece of engineering and magic. It has a perfect balance and harmony between its parts… You ntioned that it was repaired before but it feels as if it really integrated itself with this Artifact. It doesn't feel like it was repaired."
Vale nodded and looked at the Temporal Tipiece with admiration.
"Alright… Let see what I can do."
He then decided to test so of its functions and features. He used his Divinity to trigger the Temporal Tipieces, and observed the effects.
After about an hour of exploration, they discovered that the Temporal Tipiece could do many things.
First, it had the power of slowing down or speeding up the flow of ti in a small area or for a certain object, making it appear faster or slower than normal.
With that, it was also capable of reversing or looping the flow of ti in a certain area or for a certain object, making it go back or repeat its previous actions. This was quite intriguing, but it uses too much Divinity…
Aside from that, it was also capable of creating of what Vale would like to call a temporal bubble or a temporal portal, which could isolate area and probably used for defensive or steathy maneuvers.s
Lastly, it was able to help them create a temporal distortion or a temporal anomaly, which could alter or disrupt the natural laws of ti and space…
This last ability was what Faith had used to save Denise.
Nonetheless, Vale and the others were amazed and thrilled by the Temporal Tipiece's abilities and secrets.
"This is incredible, Faith. The Temporal Tipiece can do so many things. This will help us a lot against the Abyss Realm…" Vale muttered as he was already starting to imagine what he could do with this item.
However, their research wasn't over yet.
According to Faith's research and also based on the capabilities of the Artifact itself,
She theorized a few things it could also do once they obtained specific requirents.
According to her, this pocketwatch was supposedly capable of creating a ti lock, which could seal or unlock a certain area or a certain object from the effects of ti and space, making it immune or vulnerable to them.
She discovered this since the Tipiece seed to have similarities with her Space Ring that could store or freeze objects in a certain space.
"So it was like that…" Vale muttered as he didn't expect that Faith would compare it to her Space Ring.
"Yes… I'm also thinking that it's capable of using a Temporal Vision or a Temporal mory, in so Sovereign Artifacts I've seen before."
"Temporal Vision? mory?" Vale repeated…
"Yes, I suppose it can help you show or recall a certain event on a specific place… It can be used for investigations by the detectives."
Vale's eyes lit up after hearing this. There was no way he wouldn't be excited by the Temporal Tipiece's possibilities and mysteries.
"Impressive work, Faith. You have truly outdone yourself in researching this Tipiece. I intend to experint with it in a secure location. But first, as a token of my appreciation, I want to reward you. Tell your heart's desire, and I will do my utmost to fulfull any of your request," Vale offered, acknowledging Faith's assistance to fully utilize the Tipiece.
Faith, intrigued by the prospect of a reward, contemplated for a mont before voicing her request.
"In that case, can you promise to rebuild the Dark Arts Academy in the future?" she inquired.
Vale was taken aback by the unexpected request.
"Rebuild the Academy?" he echoed, visibly puzzled by the proposition.
"Yes, I've managed to gather all the essential items from Vermont Academy – textbooks, scrolls, talismans, alchemical materials, and everything necessary to establish an Academy. It was originally my mission, so I had access to the Space Ring and kept it with . However, I don't feel worthy of this responsibility. I want you to help , or rather, take on this significant task in my stead," Faith explained earnestly.
Vale paused, considering Faith's unexpected proposition.
"This is quite a significant request, Faith. Rebuilding the Dark Arts Academy is no small feat. Why do you feel that you don't deserve this responsibility? And why do you want to take on this role?" he inquired, wanting to understand her motivations and intentions.
