| Sep 18 at 15:03 | comment | added | Pelinore | So, the physical application you're after is equivalent to sand running through an hour glass, just grind to appropriate grain size and you'll get that. | |
| Sep 18 at 12:55 | comment | added | AlexP | @BabikaBabaka: They go through a grinder to make them look like ashes. You don't have to grind them so fne. | |

| Sep 18 at 12:19 | comment | added | BabiBaba | @AlexP Aren't cremated bones more like ashes ? I'm not sure ashes are heavy enough to flow down inside an hourglass | |
| Sep 18 at 11:30 | comment | added | BabiBaba | @L.Dutch The application would be the construction of magic-fuelled machines. The sand would flow between different parts of the machine inside various tubes, or be stored in external hourglasses | |
| Sep 18 at 11:18 | comment | added | AlexP | Normally, the bones would be cremated before being ground into sand. Cremated bone is purely mineral, as all the organic substances burn out. Grain size would be finer or coarser, depending on how fine or how coarse it is ground. | |

Put back part of the deleted question
|
| Sep 18 at 10:13 | comment | added | BabiBaba | @sphennings It seems you have also deleted parts of the main question. Is there a way to put them back ? The extra questions about the smell and size of the bone-sand grains were there to clarify what kind of answer I am looking for | |

Don't ask multiple questions. Don't ask bonus questions. Keep title and body of post congruent. Reader responses are not worldbuilding. Remove salutations and other text unrelated to the question.

We also do not answer subjective questions where we speculate how a reader will respond to stories written in your world.. I've edited this to ask a single question for you. | |
