Is it possible to charge a rod with time without equipment? If not, go outside, clear a space, make a sundial, and charge the rod with time.

No. There is a town nearby though.

[RAM]

Raise our cwute widdle dwaggy.

Raise our cwute widdle dwaggy.

Can't yet, egg has eight turns to hatch.

[breadbocks]

Again, make a sundial for a timepiece.

[blackmagechill]

You walk out to the field, kicking the badger in the ribs to get it to stay behind. You take your egg and magic encyclopedia with you, and draw a sun-dial with the divining rod, making the rod the actual dial. You mutter a time-charge spell, and the rod is charged. IT can do some time magic now, and with a couple of glasses from your cabinet you could probably make an hour-glass with a little fire and earth magic. Why didn't you think of that before!?

You could gather stuff in the forest for divining rod components...there are many things you can do in this game, no holds barred.

Excellent. [/burnsvoice]

Use the rod to bring an hourglass back from the future, where you have two.

If we botch the spell roll we could end up with some issues further down the line. It could react badly when it comes through or when it leaves the future continuum though.. best pray to godhead pickle inspector first.

[Criptfeind]

Pray.

Do silly time stuff.

[dwarfguy2]

I'ma go pray to GPI, Giygas, Ms'tr ei'bl, Chaos, Darko, the dark god of the dark, the beetles, and grand moff Tarkin, TYVM.

Go into town and buy/steal 4 divining rods while in disguise.
Use the new rods for: fire, earth, ice, and lightning.

Not lightning. Wind. Lightning magic is a specialized version of wind in most 4-element systems. Unless the OP has them as separate. In which case we want both wind and lightning. Other than that I agree with the above post and say we should start practising earth and wind/lightning!

Separate bro, lightning has speed upgrades, wind has flying stuff.

[Lillipad]

Change 4 rods to 5 in light of this newly desired wind magic.

[blackmagechill]

We might die here and now. Could be.

You draw from your divining rod to pull from a bout a day or so (maybe a few hours, your going to get to work on your hourglass after you buy more divining rods) to get an hour glass.. and it worked! It seems to have a little residual energy, like you were just starting a spell. what ever, it's not important. You can faintly see the designs for your glasses in the kitchen. Hmm. Where'd that wood come from.. is that from the leg of your desk? It is! Well, you know where it came from at least..
You get your gold from home, and reset the badger by a few hours so the ribs are back in place (you gave it a swift kick to the chest earlier, remember?) and grab your bag of gold. You take enough to buy the divining rods, a hundred gold for 5 base quality rods, and then set of to town. You buy the rods from the magic shop, and head home, charging them after you move your desk. You do various time tricks, thinking of the development of your dragon. You cast haste, slow and gravity on the badger while it runs around. It's quite funny. Then you think of the necrotic development. You start reanimating spiders and rats you killed a while ago and simultaneously hitting them with pain to increase your ability.

Skill up!
Necrotic plus one!
Time magic plus one!
