>go arch
You reach out and touch the carved archway. A wave of disorientation washes over you briefly, but soon passes. You find yourself in...
[Subterranean Abditory, Hall of the Artifact]
Though spared from the flood that has overtaken the tunnels, this room still suffers from the kind of dampness that permeates the surrounding rock. Shelves holding rotting books line the walls, which have been carved smooth and square. Amidst the useless and forgotten artifacts, however, one object is untouched by both time and moisture. Floating amid this wreckage of knowledge, gently spinning in the precise center of this ancient hall, is a spherical metal artifact. You also see a carved archway.
Obvious exits: none.
Room Number: 9995
>
Your body below the waist is dripping with water. Pools of it are forming all around you.
>
Water drips steadily from your copper zills.
>
A spherical metal artifact spins quickly around, bobbing slightly in the air.
>
A spherical metal artifact glows with a warm crimson light, then crackles as a cascade of brilliant red motes dance between the copper nodules.
>get art
That probably won't do anything, but you wonder if touching, pushing, pulling or focusing on the metal artifact might be useful.
>look art
The artifact floats eerily in the air. Its surface is made of an assortment of various metal plates, including bronze and silver. A ring of eight copper nodules encircles the device, but only four are visible at a time from any one side. Flashing blasts of azure and crimson arc between these nodules regularly.

One of the copper nodules is pushed in, but still sparks with blue and crimson light.
Three of the copper nodules protrude out of the spherical device, sending sparks of azure, crimson and black flinging through the air.

The depressed nodule on the artifact suddenly stops sparking.
With a rapid series of solid thunks, the copper nodules reorganize as some pop out and some suddenly retract.

>focus art
You focus your magical senses on a spherical metal artifact.
A burning sensation rises up your arms and into your body.
You sense an incredibly powerful and complex matrix within the artifact, which is a beautiful example of Lunar energy. Formula and theory race through your mind, and you suddenly gain an inkling of the binding forces of the cosmos.
