Piece of Cloud
A Piece of Cloud is something priceless due to its rarity and its fragility. The power of this piece of sky is incomparable since it enables you to go back in time. By giving a Piece of Cloud to your horse, it will become 4 months younger and you will receive 2 aging points! Please note that this item does not age, it does not change the history of actions. If you give a Piece of Cloud at 4pm, your horse will become 4 months' younger but it will still be 4pm in its day. It is therefore recommended you not to give the Piece of Cloud to your horse too late or you will not be able to put your horse to bed and age him. The Piece of Cloud does not change the energy, health or morale of the horse. A single Piece of Cloud can only be used once. So as not to disrupt the time cycle, you can only give the same horse twenty Pieces of Cloud. Beyond that, the temporal return may no longer be able to be
controlled and the horse may disappear as this evanescent item plays with powerful forces! It can only be given to horses and ponies over the age of 5; before this age it could disrupt their growth.
