Rather than a clock, it's more akin to a timer. The user must wind it up for the amount of time they predict is left until a highstorm.{{book ref|sa3|16}} The stormclock then counts down the time and makes a small dinging sound upon finishing.{{book ref|sa3|64}} As such, it can be used to count down time until other things as well, such as the arrival of the [[Everstorm]].{{book ref|sa3|122}}
