When do Sand of Time and Vulnerable apply their effects?

Quick answer

Sand of Time isn't mentioned in the rulebook; Vulnerable applies when the target is attacked, doubling each hit's damage before removing a token.

Details

The rulebook contains no reference to a relic, potion, or card called "Sand of Time," so no ruling can be given for it here. If you meant a different card/relic name, try rephrasing your question.

Vulnerable is covered: adding a Vulnerable token marks the target (max 3 tokens), and when that player or enemy is then attacked, damage from each hit in the Attack or enemy action is doubled (after adding bonuses like Strength), then one Vulnerable token is removed [p.24 — Abilities & Keywords]. For attacks with multiple hits (multi-hit), each hit is doubled individually, but only one Vulnerable token is removed once the entire multi-hit attack finishes [p.14 — Multi-hits].

Watch out: If the attacker has Weak and the target has Vulnerable at the same time, the attack is unaffected by both Weak and Vulnerable — but tokens are still removed from each afterward [p.24 — Abilities & Keywords].
