Entryway
[Mystical Machinations, Entryway]
Tendrils of ice blue mist swirl in an hypnotic dance around a coruscating orb of dark cerulean light that hovers in the center of this chamber. Walls of pearlescent white marble encase the strange building like a tomb, lending a feeling of solace and remoteness to this Enchanter's workshop. You also see a shimmering fire-shrouded portal, a swirling shadowy rift, a glistening icy mist, an elegant crystal-paned sign, an ornate silver stand with a glistening ethereal tome on it and a glowing portal.
Obvious exits: northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest, west, northwest.
The sign reads:

Justicar's Chamber
[Mystical Machinations, Justicar's Chamber]
Golden tower shields adorn the cold white marble walls, lending a regal air to this chamber. A single platinum silk tapestry cascades down from the ceiling, embroidered with the image of a faceless man bedecked in plate mail and holding a broadsword in his right hand and an olive laurel in his left. Soft black velvet cushions lie strewn in a reverent circle beneath the tapestry. You also see a rickety cobweb-covered bookshelf with some stuff on it, a stately onyx-framed sign and a shimmering golden arch.
Obvious exits: southwest.

Healer's Chamber
[Mystical Machinations, Healer's Chamber]
A large crystalline pool inlaid with pattern of twining malachite vines dominates the chamber. Bright gaethzen globes suspended from the sterile white marble ceiling reflect off the walls, illuminating the chamber with a severe glow that eradicates all nearby shadow. You also see a rickety cobweb-covered bookshelf with some stuff on it, a stately onyx-framed sign, some plush black velvet cushions and a vertical pool of rippling crimson blood floating in midair.

Hunter's Chamber
[Mystical Machinations, Hunter's Chamber]
Verdant tapestries depicting the forest hunt sweep from the ceiling above, lending a semblance of the wilderness to the austere and sterile environment of this chamber.

Minstrel's Chamber
[Mystical Machinations, Minstrel's Chamber]
Elegant tapestries of blue and gold cover the white marble walls of this chamber, filling it with scenes of minstrels performing for nobles, busking in the streets, or inspiring soldiers in battle. A few cushioned oak chairs rest between the tapestries, providing visitors with a comfortable place to sit. Gentle melodies from unseen musicians drift through the chamber, creating a sense of calm and restfulness. You also see a rickety cobweb-covered bookshelf with some stuff on it, a stately onyx-framed sign and a vibrating golden harpstring.

Seer's Chamber
[Mystical Machinations, Seer's Chamber]
Gaethzen globes shaded by veils of dusky crystal suffuse the chamber in a moody pall of midnight blue light, muting the severity of the white marble walls. Strange motes of silver light float freely in the air, forming a chaotic display of the heavens' constellations that cycles in the ever-changing dance of Fate's tide. You also see a rickety cobweb-covered bookshelf with some stuff on it, a stately onyx-framed sign, some plush black velvet cushions and a blazing tri-color Moongate.

Elemancer's Chamber
[Mystical Machinations, Elemancer's Chamber]
A symmetric oval of six silver stands rise from the floor, each one grasping a piece of colored crystal. Strange motes of light flicker within their depths, stirring with essence of the elements. Cushions of plush black velvet lie strewn within the circle of crystals, bathed in the ebb and flow of their luminous gaze. You also see a dark granite platform, a rickety cobweb-covered bookshelf with some stuff on it and a stately onyx-framed sign.
Obvious exits: east.
Hierophant's Chamber
[Mystical Machinations, Hierophant's Chamber]
Austere walls of pearlescent white marble have been draped with somber tapestries depicting the various stages of Life and Death -- the never-ending cycle the gods have bestowed upon mortals. Pale silver taper candles rise elegantly from sconces in the floor, casting their crystalline glow over intricately woven prayer carpets and velvet cushions that circle a speckled granite altar in the center of the chamber. You also see a pale silver arch obscured with ghostly fog, a stately onyx-framed sign and a rickety cobweb-covered bookshelf with some stuff on it.
Obvious exits: southeast.
