A Windlass gives the turn of a Create shaft to the device it faces: a Stamp Mill pounds shards without Cog (the shaft is the mechanism, as many pinches as before), a Molder crafts without flux, a Sluice Box washes ore twice as often, a Pump lifts distillate without flux. The shaft enters at the back; it works from 16 RPM and costs 4 stress units per RPM.
From 64 RPM a Molder takes a step every half second. What a Windlass will not do: pay for flux crafting, the Confluence, the Lens Grinder, the Druse Vat or a cast — that is magic, not muscle. The rune on the drum glows silver while the Windlass turns a device.
