Speeds up the crucible. Up to 8 can be placed nearby, but more catalyzers cause instability, dealing extra damage to the impetus or catalyst. Requires fuel in the form of spirits consumed during operation.

Additional crucible enhancements:

- **Blazing Diode** — Lessens fuel requirements of catalyzers while slightly speeding the process.
- **Accelerating Inlay** — Provides a substantial bonus to focusing speed without drawbacks.
- **Crucible Augmentation** — <ItemLink id="alchemical_calx" />-based foci that add unique effects. Up to 4 can be placed in the crucible. Use a Tuning Fork to view and control augment resonances.
