"The release of atom power has changed everything except our way of thinking ... the solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind. If only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker."
Like many Ecstatics, you use altered perception to transcend the obvious, thereby extending your senses beyond the mundane. However, unlike more mainstream Ecstatics, you use simple meditation on the rhythm of clocks to enter an altered state. Each of your clocks serves a different purpose: in the dripping, chaotic beat of the water clock, you can see other places and other worlds. In your hourglass, you understand the shape of Time and the flow of Entropy. With your hand-crafted clockwork peacock time-piece, you can see the beating pulse of Life or the weave of Prime.
