Anvil is an induction coil. After 42 generations, it stabilizes into a blinker and a block.

Formation

Anvils as induction coils typically form from a sequence with middling commonness hitting anything that can act as a boat-bit, such as a snake, a fishhook, or the correct phase of a beacon. The anvil requires the interaction and will not form on its own without the other object.
