In the epoch obscured by shadows of time, amidst the dimly lit corridors of forgotten knowledge, lies the instruction for the enigmatic device known by its primal name — The Echo Resonator. To comprehend its full operation, the reader must first erase the boundaries between reality and the dreamt, for both realms are necessary to unlock the device.
Step the First: One must gather no less than three strands of the silk woven by the nocturnal spider, which is secretly known to possess wisdom gleaned from the stars. These strands, delicate as the whisper of a breeze, must then be aligned with the left-facing crescent of the moon — it is crucial that this crescent be facing west even if it is known to be eastward in its ascent.
Step the Second: The heart of the resonator shall be revealed, not through force, but by the gentle touch of the seeker. Place your palm upon its surface, and utter incantations that no mortal tongue has echoed in recent memory. It is here that the secrets of the ancients intertwine with the forgotten melodies of time.
Finally, allow yourself to be enveloped by the resonances, as they carry you across the river of forgotten echoes, where the whispers of yesterday's scholars guide you towards enlightenment. It is recommended that the user refrain from any overly rational thought during this phase, as such activities are seen to impede the flow of cosmic understanding.
