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 in skill.
Look at all of the expensive metals 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 find on chronal and discordant stone, 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 alllows 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 small
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.
