The Aethervault Atrium’s prism is failing, threatening to unleash wild magic surges that could devastate the surrounding region.

Read Aloud

You step into a vast circular chamber ringed with towering glass walls glowing faintly with blue arcane runes, and at its center rests a floating crystal prism suspended over a shallow pool of shimmering liquid light.

GM Notes

- Runes amplify all magic in the room; spells gain +2 caster level while inside
- Arcane guardian uses spell-like abilities and is immune to mind-affecting effects
- Disrupting the prism risks a wild surge: roll d20 (15+ causes 3d6 acid/fire/lightning damage in a 20-ft line)
