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.

Description
The existence of this universe and many other worlds just like ours are all supported by this essential fabric of creation. Any damages done to it will eventually result in the unravelling of the weave, thus unmaking entire worlds if it's neglected. Hence it is the work of the Weavers to repair the worn spots in the pattern and maintain its pristine condition by keeping it tightly woven and unfaded, as well as defending it from the otherworldly pests that gnaw and lay their eggs in the frayed regions of their tapestry, whose brood can quickly devour an entire universe if the Weavers let their attention lapse. Although it is the job of the Weavers to maintain the fabric, it was the Loom who created the threads that form the whole fabric that encompasses all.

Wide though it may be, the fabric of one reality ends at its seams where it is joined with the edge of another fabric. These seams of reality are also known as the "twist between worlds" which may or may not be the same as the "web between worlds" that an aspect of Spectre is knowledgeable about. The fabric of reality also acts as a barrier between the planes. Speaking of the twist between worlds, this twist might also be the maze between realities mentioned in Dark Seer's lore.

It seems that the weave itself may be dangerous to the Weavers and others who are made of it, since they can be caught and entangled in their own weaves or its threads.

Threads and Fabrics
The fabric of reality is a very complex structure, woven by both young and experienced Weavers alike with varying levels of skill. There are a lot of threads that constitute the weave, but there are only a few of them that are known. It would appear that each of these threads are woven into their own unique fabric rather than all of them being woven into one whole heterogeneous weave. Here are the following threads and their respective fabrics:
 * The threads of time that compose time's weave. A timeline might be a pattern composed of time threads. These threads may also compose the fabric of spacetime.
 * Akin to a tightrope, Weavers can crawl forward and backwards in time by creeping along the threads of time.
 * Weavers can also travel through the vast fabric of spacetime by using small wormholes that allows them to slip through time.
 * Opening a gap in the spacetime fabric causes young Weavers to slip forth, suggesting that they live in the this fabric.
 * Lastly, this weave of time may exist on an astral level, just like the astral Loom that might have woven it. According to Inai, the map of all time is in the astral plane, appearing as a multitude of lines that streak across said plane. It's possible that, from his perspective, he sees all of time as a bunch of lines rather than a weave made of threads.
 * The threads of strife, woven into the very fabric of conflict. The exiled Skitskurr plans to use these threads to create his soon-to-be realized pattern, sourcing it from the tatters of a future conflict. This conflict could possibly be the battle of the Ancients or even the anticipated war that will happen in the great confluence.
 * The predestined threads of fate. Struggling against fate will provoke a commensurate response.
 * The threads of life a.k.a. vital threads (which may or may not include the soul thread, a thread that is spooled rather than woven  ) which are woven into the patterns of life or spooled into a roll. Fate is what weaves the threads of everyone's lives together, but it also cuts them short with its blade.

Other Fabrics
There are also other kinds of fabrics in existence that have no known corresponding threads. Because of this, it's unknown if they are actually part of the cosmic tapestry, but, they will be listed here just in case.
 * The fabric of order
 * The fabric of the mind
 * The fabric of the void
 * The fabric of the Rift

The Great Confluence
The Great Confluence is a cataclysmic event in an unseeable point in the future where the fabrics of multiple realities are fated to collide and merge. It is portended by a multitude of distortions in the fabric of the void, followed by utter chaos and ripples of destruction that will spread throughout all planes of existence,  as well as the contamination of multiple fabrics with each other.

In Dota: Dragon's Blood
Spacetime was briefly alluded to by Slyvion (this intermediate form betwixt Davion and Slyrak that is controlled by the latter) in the animated series of Dota: Dragon's Blood, in the 4th episode "The Monster at the End of this Book" in Book One. Captured by Kaden and chained in the heart of a Dragon Knight redoubt, Slyvion forewarns him about the consequences in destroying an Eldwurm. If he were to kill Slyrak, he would also be toppling a pillar of creation. This would also destroy existence as we know it: time and space, the Manifold Forms, the pillars of order and chaos, all gone. The infinite macrocosms will be destroyed with no renewal to follow. And not even nothing will exist.

Keepers
A number of entities keep the fabric safe and maintain it. Only three of them are known, the best known ones being the Weavers, followed by the Loom and the unnamed guardians.

The Weavers are a species of extra-dimensional beetles who are charged with the protection and maintainment of the fabric. The best known member of these beetles is Skitskurr, the rogue, who was exiled from the pattern by the guardians after he tossed his duties aside to create his own fabric which pulled against the pattern that the great Loom had woven long ago. The broods of the Weavers dwell in the spacetime fabric. Weavers use the energies of creation to reweave the stuff of reality, but only once it's hot and malleable then it is ready to use.

Although it is the Weavers who protect and maintain the fabric of reality, it was the Loom that created it all. Only a few beings can use it to influence the pattern, which may include the Weavers and the guardians. The Loom exists on an astral level.

Lastly, the mysterious guardians are a group of beings who protect the fabric. All we know about these guardians is that they have scissors which they use to purge rogue patches that pull against the fabric of creation that the Loom had woven, and then repair that gap in the fabric by reweaving it–which was the case with Skitskurr and his attempt to create his own world. These guardians might be the personification of Fate that Weaver talks about, who also weaves threads together and cuts threads with a blade.

His most notable effect on spacetime is the gravitational version of time dilation as well as a pair of golden bracers that he acquired from Cedric that can manipulate the fabric of spacetime itself. Because of his extra-dimensional existence, Darkterror the can influence the very fabrics of reality, especially the fabric of spacetime. His vast powers over the fabric of spacetime includes his, which involves tearing a hole in time to pass into Claszureme before returning to the material plane in an instant. is a hole in spacetime that leads to his home world, its timeless stasis contained by a blister in spacetime that traps anyone unfortunate enough to be caught inside of it. He may also channel the fabric of the "Rift" to warp his intellect and form, but it is unknown if the Rift's fabric is included in the cosmic tapestry. These powers are just a few examples of his vast control over the fabrics of reality. seems to know his fate thread
 * Enigma frequently refers to his pattern which is implied to be his physical form that's made of void and shadow. It is unknown if his pattern refers to the fabric of reality itself (which implies that his form is made of the stuff of the cosmic fabric if this is the case). Apparently, his pattern is also his consciousness, which disappears when he dies.  This isn't permanent, though, because his pattern will eventually reform out of chaos.

These twin blades were recovered by the who gave it to the  to aid her in her multiversal contract killing.

Description
The spark of life is an ethereal light inside one's heart. Its glow is both a sign of life in a being and the very vitality of a being–if the heart glows with light from within, then that heart's owner is alive. Like a candle, the spark grows dim when one's life is about to fade until it is snuffed once life has perished. It can be passed down to one's descendants, so it's also a sign of kinship between individuals if they have the same spark.

In Dota: Dragon's Blood
The spark returns in the animated series Dota: Dragon's Blood. It appears to be exclusive to the divinities in the series and not a universal element, unlike Dota 2's version, so it is actually the “divine spark” in the series. The divine spark of Mene is the center of the conflict between the usurper goddess Selemene and the former (and her mortal reincarnation Fymryn who eventually has to reclaim it and her lost divinity with it), because of the divine power it holds. Whoever holds Mene's spark will become the moon deity, allowing them to become immortal, draw power from their faithful and give them power, and have access to divine powers. Unlike Dota 2's version, the spark cannot be shared in any way, which is why both Selemene and Mene (in the form of Fymryn ) had to wrest it from each other to become the one and only moon goddess. like dota 2, spark is life and perhaps a sign of life

Gods
Before Nature's Prophet's seed was sown and sprouted, his mother—the woods-goddess Verodicia—infused a sapphire gem with a spark of her essence. Meant to be left in the wastes of a war-torn land, the vital essence in this gem makes it a fail-safe against the event that the cycle of life is broken in said lands by restoring its life.

Trivia

 * divine spark

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.

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, 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

kingdom of magic

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.

Habitat
The Frostbitten are a time-displaced species from an unknown era. Today, they only dwell in the Frostbite Tundra, which may have gotten its name from them.

Morphology
The most common and distinctive features of the Frostbitten are their weird faces and their pale blue hides. They seem to have no noses at first, but they actually have a tiny nose with a nonexistent bridge, horizontally aligning their nose up with their blank blue eyes. Because of their tiny noses, the space between it and above their upper lip is wide, akin to Nature's Prophet's Muppetlike face. Some Frostbitten possess a twisted pair of antlers with the same shape, albeit the length and size of these antlers are asymmetrical to each other. They bear no lips on their mouths, so their teeth are always bared. Plus, they seem to have an underbite. A pair of tiny ears sit behind their antlers, but it may be covered by their hair. Lastly, they have small spikes on their chins.

All Frostbitten have the same amount and collection of teeth, with irregular tooth sizes. On their mandible, they have a total of ten teeth. They have four teeth at the front of the lower jaw which sits between two bigger fangs. Beyond their fangs are two smaller teeth on both corners of their mouth. As for their upper jaw, it has a total of seven teeth. The left corner of their upper jaw has no teeth, but they have irregular teeth starting at the front until the right corner of the upper jaw.

Some Frostbitten have pale blue fur that covers their form, save for their head and their extremities. They may also grow long straight hair that has the same pale blue color of their fur in a balding pattern, which is exclusive to Frostbitten who don't have antlers. Frostbitten have long black fingernails and grey toenails.

Body shape seems to vary between Frostbitten. The more muscular Frostbitten have an asymmetrical body shape. They have wide torsos and huge neck muscles that hide their short necks, but the size of their arms are irregular. The right arm is bigger and more muscular, while the left arm looks like Father's paralysis
