Orphiel's Failsafe Device (Rift Lore)  

Among Orphiel's greatest discoveries was a means by which to create a temporal anchor and a machine there to that anchor. While the exact name of the machine was the Distal Temporal Refraction Device, it has become colloquially referred to as Orphiel's Fail-safe Device. While Orphiel never truly mastered "time travel", his device did succeed in return objects that passed through the machine to the fixed position in time at which the device had been built.

Orphiel would not share the exact details of its creation to anyone. As usual, he was covetous of the secrets of this particular breakthrough. When asked to explain in very simple terms how it worked, however, he said, "The machine has an aura that confuses time on such a base level that time would rather ignore it completely than attempt to resolve the issue."
