⏳ Sands of Time Roast: The Temporal Stabilizer
An ultra-rare extract pulled directly from the deepest archives of the Infinite Library—designed not for attack, but for the restoration of temporal equilibrium.
In the chaotic Pocket Dimension, one needs an anchor. The Sands of Time Roast is not made from traditional coffee beans; instead, it is a compilation of residual magic and dissolved wisdom gathered from scrolls and temporal records that have faded from history. These particles coalesced into rare, seed-like shapes deep within the Library's boundless shelves.
Eldrin Nightshade secured this blend as his personal choice for maintaining his sanity before, during, and after enacting aggressive temporal shifts. This roast is the smooth, sweet, chocolaty counterpart to bitter dark-roasted coffee, offering a profound, stabilizing comfort without any of the sharp, acidic edges that threaten to derail a perfectly planned timeline.
The Phenomenon (The Flavor of Arcane Stability)
Consuming this blend is like drinking the essence of a perfectly preserved moment in time. The equilibrium of the Infinite Library is present in every sip.
