Last Alchemist
You cut off your energy from the orb, plunging it into darkness, and hide it securely beneath your cloak. Retreating to the dimmest corner of the chamber, you remain still and watch how the strangers respond to the artifact's unexpected activation.With a determined effort, you pour an even greater flow of alchemical energy into the orb, pushing it past its breaking point. A web of fractures spreads across its surface as a brilliant surge of energy explodes outward, driving the strangers to retreat.Clutching the orb tightly, you let its energy spill forth, bathing each stranger in its otherworldly light. You watch closely, searching for signs of hidden knowledge, subtle reactions, or anything the artifact might unveil about them.You lift the glowing orb, its ethereal light filling the chamber with an unearthly brilliance that seems to stretch the shadows. Confronting the strangers, you harness the orb’s strange energy to bolster your authority, insisting they reveal their purpose for being here.
