abstract
| - If the object is activated, the players' universe and incipisphere will start over from some point before their entry with some changes, providing the players with different initial conditions that ideally lead to a better outcome in the game. The means of activation is by literally scratching it in a certain way using an object potent enough to damage it; the Quills of Echidna are the intended tool for this process, though there is one known exception. Once the object is sufficiently scratched, it begins rising into Skaia; once there, it releases a large amount of temporal energy which acts as a "request" to Skaia to change everything at a fundamental level, and gives it the energy to do so. However, Skaia has control over exactly one thing – the defense portals it uses in the Reckoning – and so this results in Skaia retroactively changing the destination times of the paradox clones. This typically changes which group of paradox clones serve as the players in the reset session, and accordingly consigns the pre-scratch session to oblivion, causing a hard reset of the original session and a partial reset of the universe it originated from. The object always appears on the planet of the session's Hero of Time. The scratch construct looks different in each session and derives its design from its home planet's environment. Whether or not all scratch constructs relate to a Time player's control object (Dave's Timetables; Aradia's music boxes) is unknown, although it has been the case twice so far.
