The Hex-Plate Chronicler
This jagged, V-shaped instrument is crafted from polished black volcanic glass and reinforced with brass Hextech housing. Instead of traditional strings, it features six glowing azure filaments of pure arcane energy that hum with static. A series of crystal vacuum tubes along the neck glow brighter as the music intensifies, and a small, rotating steam-vent on the headstock releases puffs of white vapor during high-tempo solos.
