[i]"The beginning is the end is the beginning."[/i]

[hr][sup][b]ORIGINS & CREATIONS:[/b] 
| Penty Harmonium was born from the dying soul of The Maestro, a legendary Adept of Purple-Lux, whose obsession with controlling time led him to craft this ultimate artifact. As his body failed, his final act was to bind his soul to the harmonium, ensuring it would become a timeless instrument of unimaginable power. Fueled by the Maestro’s essence, the Penty Harmonium is his final masterpiece, unmatched in its ability to command time. |

[b]TYPE:[/b] 
| Organ-Clock artifact. |

[b]LOCATION:[/b] 
| Its current location is unknown, though rumors persist that it resides deep within the Temporal Vaults, a place hidden between timelines and accessible only through precise manipulations of time magic (Purple Lux or otherwise). |

[b]NOTABLE OWNERS:[/b] 
| Alden Drake, a time manipulator who once claimed the Penty Harmonium, played a devastating melody that erased an entire world from existence, leaving only fragments of memory in a few minds scattered across the All-Verse. |

[b]ABSTRACTION-GRANTING:[/b] 
| No. |[/sup][/center][/cell][cell]The Penty Harmonium is a grand and imposing relic, both a musical instrument and a clock that sits frozen in a state of perpetual potential. Playing the Penty Harmonium grants its wielder unprecedented control over time, but unlike other artifacts, it doesn’t offer an Abstraction or enhance a wielder's inherent magic. Instead, it provides direct, unfiltered access to the raw forces of time, allowing the player to manipulate the timeline in ways that Purple-Lux Adepts could only dream of. The harmonium can speed up or slow down time within specific areas, reverse the flow of events, or create temporal pockets where time ceases to exist. With the right melody, entire eras can be undone or replayed, the future reshaped with each note played.

A single note can rewind a moment of history, while a whole symphony can alter the fate of entire universes. The harmonium can collapse time into itself, blending past, present, and future into a singular moment of chaos or clarity, depending on the player's skill. The harmonium can open doorways to alternate timelines, trap enemies in infinite loops, or remove entire events from reality, leaving no trace of their existence.

However, this power comes at a terrible cost. Playing the harmonium draws deeply on the user’s life force. As the melodies grow more complex, so does the price. The soul of the Maestro, trapped within the harmonium, feeds on the user's essence, slowly draining them of their vitality. The more time is manipulated, the more the instrument hungrily devours its player, eventually claiming their soul entirely if pushed too far. Adepts who have sought to master the Penty Harmonium have either been lost to time’s forgotten corners or wholly consumed by the artifact itself.

The Penty Harmonium is also linked to the Ancient known as the Butterfly, the enigmatic being responsible for managing time across the All-Verse. It is said that those who wield the harmonium too recklessly will attract the Butterfly's attention. Should the Butterfly deem the user a threat to the integrity of time, it will take them to The Pasture, the Butterfly’s world, where they are trapped in an endless loop of their most significant failures, forced to relive them for eternity. No one has ever returned from The Pasture.

For this reason, many who stumble upon the Penty Harmonium leave it untouched, fearing the price of its power. Yet, for those willing to risk their soul or being, the harmonium offers the ultimate reward: mastery over time, free from the constraints of mortality, history, or fate.
