    Definition of crucible
    a ceramic or metal container in which metals or other substances may be melted or subjected to very high temperatures:
    the crucible tipped and the mould filled with liquid metal
    a situation of severe trial, or in which different elements interact, leading to the creation of something new:
    their relationship was forged in the crucible of war


    So based of what is written above I suggest:

    (суровое) испытание вечностью
    I do not claim that my opinion is absolutely true.
    If you've spotted any mistake in my English, please, correct it. I want to be aware of any mistakes to efficiently eliminate them before they become a habit.

    Hmmm, from the ru.wikipedia article about the so-called "салемские ведьмы", I find that «Суровое испытание» seems to be the standard/official translation for the title of Arthur Miller's play The Crucible -- although I was surprised that there's no Russian article about the play itself.
