If you've had experience with the Nar-Sian cult, then you can think of the clockwork slab as Ratvar's equivalent of the arcane tome. However, the slab boasts superior portability and utility than the tome, although it's slightly larger and can't fit in pockets. All initial servants start with a clockwork slab and can create more through scripture (more on that later). | If you've had experience with the Nar-Sian cult, then you can think of the clockwork slab as Ratvar's equivalent of the arcane tome.

Clockwork slabs will generate a component every 40 seconds, provided they're being held by a mob or are in a mob's storage. Generating a component also prevents all other slabs held by that mob from generating components; spread slabs out, don't hold multiple. | |||
The slab can also be examined to see all components in the slab plus all components available to the slab via the global cache. | |||

Except for the first tier, most scripture consumes a certain amount of components of a certain type. These components are drawn directly from the slab, ''which generates components passively at a slow rate'', or from the global component storage accessed by tinkerer's caches. This storage can hold an infinite amount of components, and scripture will prioritize drawing from the storage before the slab's internal capacity is tapped. | Except for the first tier, most scripture consumes a certain amount of components of a certain type.
