Like the Atelier series, Noora and the Time Factory has an item synthesis system. But unlike Atelier, the item synthesis here is said to be unique through the addition of time elements.

The time elements involve changing items by manipulating time. The most basic example is a flower. If you reverse time on the flower, it will become a seed. If you advance time on the flower, it will become a dry flower.

To make main character Noora use her time manipulation skills, you'll need an item called Chrono Solution. This is available in red, blue, dark, light and silver types.

Item creation via time-based techniques can take many days.

Gathering materials.

In addition to the time skills, you'll also need to use more traditional alchemy techniques like item synthesis and decomposition. Synthesis involves creating items by mixing materials -- mixing salt, milk and flour to create bread, for instance. Decomposition breaks down items into their original parts. This is how you obtain the Chrono Solution needed for the time techniques.
