<div style="text-align: left;">Wyrdlings, elementals, bolts of ice, flame, or air...the method for drawing things from another sphere is well known. Why couldn’t something be sent the other way? What power might I find at the source? I will pursue this line of research.

'''19th day of Fashanos, 5106'''


<div style="text-align: left;">There are anchors, places where our realm is tied to the spheres, and energy flows between them. These spots are known to be places of power, often used as workshops, or even worship. I must find one that is accessible to me, and that provides the connection I need. I will examine the mana storm atop the Tower immediately.

'''20th day of Fashanos, 5106'''


<div style="text-align: left;">It is perfect! The storm is powered directly by a close connection to the elemental spheres, it seems to draw them closer. Huge amounts of energy are flowing into this realm, right through the opening that the storm occupies. And yet, I sense no overall increase. It must be flowing back ''out'' somewhere.

'''3rd day of Phoenatos, 5107'''


<div style="text-align: left;">There is a Way! It is indeed possible to pierce the veil to another plane and travel through, rather than pulling something from the other side into our realm. I will need to gather and store a great deal of energy, far more than I ever have before. And the conditions must be exactly right. The spheres are constantly in motion, and the further they are away, the more energy I will need to reach them.

You see Archious the Mage.
He appears to be a Dhe'nar Dark Elf.
He is average height. He appears to be in the spring of life. He has brooding deep violet eyes and vibrant, black skin. He has long, straight snow white hair elaborately gathered into a single labyrinthine braid that falls unceremoniously :to the small of his back. He has an angular face, a thin nose and tall upswept pointed ears.
Fissures of blackened flesh cover his exposed skin, revealing rivulets of magma churning in slightly blurred flashes.
He is in good shape.
A slowly rotating ring of sigils encircles each of his hands, scribed on the air in heliotrope energy.
A ring of flaming orbs encircles his hands.
He is holding a flame-scarred orase staff intricately carved with spiraling elemental sigils in his right hand.
His form is concealed within the folds of a stygian damask shroud patterned with faint Dhe'nari runes.
