The Continuum Device is a reality bending artifact in the lore of Dota 2.

Description
Locked away in the confines of the titular vault, the continuum device is capable of manipulating time and space to a great degree, whether it's used correctly or not.

Structure
As shown in the picture hereinabove, the floating Continuum Device consists of two rectangular octagon frames of metal, one of them being larger. The small frame is bound within the bigger frame, both of which twist in their middle without knotting themselves up. These frames twist themselves at different speeds depending on what's happening to it. It may also stop moving. At the middle of the device is an orb with multiple glowing lines on it. Akin to the two frames it's in, the lines move around its surface, depending on what's happening to the device. When the device stops moving, they all converge into one static horizontal line.

Functions and Features
Despite its boundless dimensional power, the Continuum Device is sealed in a mundane packaging. Packed in an ordinary box, the device is tucked in an exclusive and washable nylon drawstring pouch. One would expect such an item of great power to be sealed in an equally powerful box that's ensorcelled with the toughest binding magic, but this device is kept in the same type of packaging that comes with the typical home appliance. According to Aghanim, its packaging states that the device does not immediately destroy the universe, plus it has loads of "fancy promotional language" that is written on it, which says nothing about the fragility of the device.

The continuum device has a myriad of buttons on it, despite them not appearing physically on the device. Aghanim accidentally pushed one of its buttons too hard (possibly its green button ) and summoned alternate versions of himself that diluted his power by subtracting his powers away from him and dividing it amongst the alternate Aghanims. However, he states that he pressed multiple buttons to open up an interdimensional can of Aghanim worms instead of just one button.

Besides being able to bend space and time to give the user the powers to shape infinite realities, and summoning alternate versions of the user from the multiverse should they tamper with the device, it's implied that it allows for interdimensional travel as well. Because of this, Aghanim sought out the continuum device to travel through space and time, possibly to eke out some power from the astral multiverse.

Instructional Owner's Manual
For such a significant item of infinite dimensional power, the Continuum Device is surprisingly mundane and anachronistic due to the instruction manual that comes with it, akin to a modern home appliance. It is still grounded in the fantasy world of Dota 2, because the manual is written in ancient runes. Besides ancient runish, the owner's manual comes in other languages for convenience, such as...French.

The owner's manual contains a description of the Continuum Device's applications. It also has helpful instructions on using the device: how to turn on the Continuum Device, how to alter space-time properly, how to not fill the device's residing reality with "inferior versions of yourself from backwater dimensions", etc. Also, the instructions forewarn a certain ancient evil, which Aghanim dismisses as legalese for some reason. The runes of the manual's small print warn that there may be a chance that its user will have to confront this primal evil. Besides instructions, it also has warnings on using the device, including the sentence "What have been wrought, once wrought, cannot be unwrought."

The manual's troubleshooting section contains a guide on rebooting the Continuum Device. Aghanim claims that once it has been rebooted, it causes reality to start and restart as well as greatly age the inhabitants of the device's home reality.

Continuum Forces
During his old warmongering days as Ares, Mars fought the forces of the Continuum in a centuries-long campaign, which he toppled alongside Dawnbreaker. It's possible that the Continuum's forces were the ones who protected the Continuum Device, which is why Mars and Valora fought through them to destroy that device.

Customer Service
Further adding to the anachronism of the Continuum Device is its tech support.

The nature of magic
It's possible magic is an irrational power system, since it is opposed to science which harnesses nature's powers through rational methodologies. Magic is implied to be unnatural or a supernatural power, as it seems to be opposed to that which happens naturally. It's also said to be uncertain and thus dangerous to wield with its unpredictable results. Spellcasting in its early days was purely mental and mnemonic

The flux of magical energies can be affected by distortions in the fabric of the planes, akin to intense gravity wells influencing the motion of light particles.

Fundamentals and ingredients
There are many elements and ingredients involved in the process of magic.

According to Pugna, the source of all sorceries is the Nether Reaches. The void is one of the several vital ingredients of magic, for it is responsible for the existence of arcanery.

But the key to altering the very foundations of magic lies in solving the Puzzle of Perplex. By doing so, they can change the boundaries of sorcery and reshape the world of magic.

To cast spells, a magical resource must be expended: mana. Mana is a finite but replenishable spiritual energy that has its reservoir deep in the caster's soul.

Sound is implied to be an important ingredient in magic. In Dota 2 lore, it's recurrent that a spellcaster may be prevented from using their spells by disabling their ability to speak, one way or another. Thus, speech is required for incantations, and incantations are need for casting magic, therefore sound is vital for sorcery.

Good memory and intelligence are crucial for spellcasting. Spells are fleeting to those with poor memory and can be too hard to grasp, but good memory and wits ensures that a spell will be remembered and readily available.

stuff of magic
When spells are cast, there are arcane bindings that pass betwixt the caster and their foe. The caster can exploit them using items that are tuned to sipping from said bindings to heal themselves. Basically, this is spell lifesteal in Dota 2's lore.

spell cooldowns exist, can be reduced via time manipulation

In Dota: Dragon's Blood
Magic still exists in the animated series of Dota: Dragon's Blood, albeit it does not share the same depth that the original game's lore has with sorcery.

Since half of the Eldwurms are the four elements themselves, they seem to be the source of elemental magic now, such as the Invoker's, , and orbs. This is because his Quas orb appears to be composed of water and thus it emanates sounds of water now, despite the original orb allowing for manipulation of ice elements. Quas seems to be the orb of water now, because the element of ice is included in the element of water, which is why water dragons can breathe ice.

As such, the Invoker has the most instances of magic in the series. He has many spells and many magical apparatuses, but most of them have no background to them. This section is too small for Invoker's vast arcane repertoire, but all of his powers can be seen here. His daughter Filomena also inherits her father's magic, from his orbs to spells. A list of her magic can be seen here.

Solitary

 * After Sven learned that there's no honor to be found in any social orders, Sven chose to live a lonely life devoid of friends and already devoid of any family, also choosing to endure the many cruelties that such a life has to offer.

Honor

 * What he doesn't consider those are underhanded tactics in battle. Anyone who practices these against him are worthy of his contempt or criticism.
 * In the face of death, Sven prefers to keep his honor intact, preferring to die an honorable death.

Bravery

 * Since Sven's solitary life pits him against everyone else, he has to stand brave against the world. He is a man who will always stand his ground, no matter the odds.

With other knights

To Sven, fighting beside the (another loner like him) is an honor to experience.

Allies
Both and Sven recognize the synergy between them in battle, the former thinking that Sven will enjoy working with him. When Magnus casts on Sven, the latter will be grateful for his blessing. He will also be impressed with its might, somewhat regretting that the Vigil Knights didn't include it in their training. It seems that Magnus knows and respects Sven quite well as he believes that the true Rogue Knight is not easy to put down. Because of Sven's status as a half-Meranth who was born from a human father and a Mer mother, he has a kinship with the scaly people of the seas in Dota Underlords. worked with, , versus siltbreaker, owed debt to Conclave of the Brine and refused seat with them
