Artifact: Dagger of Time

# ⏳ ARTIFACT: DAGGER OF TIME
**Control the flow of battle. Rewind fatal mistakes, freeze monsters in their tracks, and master the Sands of Time!**

**Artifact: Dagger of Time** introduces a mythical chronological weapon to Minecraft 1.20.1 (Forge). Inspired by classic time-manipulation artifacts, this ornate dagger is more than just a fast melee blade—it stores the **Sands of Time** within its hilt, granting its wielder control over time itself during survival combat and exploration.

Whether used as a standalone RPG artifact or paired with desert-themed survival mods like **Sand Apocalypse**, the Dagger of Time turns every close-quarters fight into a tactical display of temporal mastery.

## 🗡️ Weapon Capabilities & Temporal Powers
* **Swift Chronological Strikes:** Designed with rapid attack speed and sharp base damage, allowing you to weave in and out of melee range before enemies can retaliate.
* **Temporal Rewind (Recall):** Activate the dagger’s primary power to rewind your personal timeline by several seconds—snapping you back to your previous position, undoing fatal falls, and restoring lost health!
* **Time Stop / Temporal Stasis:** Unleash a chronological shockwave that freezes nearby hostile mobs and projectiles in place, giving you a window to land critical strikes or escape overwhelming ambushes.
* **Sands of Time Charges:** Slaying enemies and harvesting temporal energy refills the dagger’s internal sand charges, rewarding aggressive combat with life-saving time powers.
* **Chrono-Haste:** Holding the artifact channels temporal momentum, sharpening your movement and reflexes in the heat of battle.
