A sophisticated alchemical device worn on the back, constructed from ancient metals and glass tubes filled with glowing fluids. The machine features intricate pipes and a small boiler continuously releasing steam, channeling alchemical energy through its tubes.
This device was crafted by an Astral Goddess—a divine being in the form of an Axolotl, whose powers transcend realms. She had been separated from her child for countless years, unable to reunite due to the vast cosmic forces that kept them apart. Upon finally discovering her child's love for alchemy, she poured her divine essence into creating this machine, ensuring that no matter where they went, they would always have the means to experiment, create, and push the boundaries of their craft. It is a gift of love, a memento of longing, and an artifact of unparalleled alchemical potential.
As an action, the wielder can activate the machine, selecting up to 5 different alchemical substances from the list below. Each selected substance can be used up to its maximum amount before the next dawn. The wielder dispenses a substance by adjusting specific valves or drawing from the alchemical tubing.

Special Properties
- Portable Transmutation: Any produced substance remains stable while stored within the machine but deteriorates within 24 hours once removed.
- Reactor Overdrive: If the machine is forced to produce more than its normal capacity, there is a 10% chance of an alchemical chain reaction, causing unpredictable effects (DM’s discretion).
