(Show/Hide Browsing Column ->) Time crystals - Member Resources Written By: Ellen Million (Writer) Pieces of "torn" space-time fabric in physical form, used in the Empire for their time-slowing and time-accelerating properties.     Rare and extremely valuable remnants of the time barriers, time crystals are somewhat like natural magnets, only they affect time fields rather than magnetic fields. They are extensively used to manipulate time by the Empire. In addition to their commercial and functional uses, the finest of the time crystals are set aside for the creation of smoke sculptures, a very delicate and respected form of art that is unique to the Empire.
