Plasm's Eldritch Blast struck the cultist square in the chest, launching the man back a few feet and sending him sprawling to the floor from which he did not rise again.

With no immediate danger distracting him, Arkisz was able to focus enough on the senses granted to him by his casting of Detect Magic. The strange magical energies he sensed on the cultists guarding the door were also present on the cultists within the tower. The magic was quick to fade once the cultists died, but while they lived, Arkisz noticed that whatever was effecting them wasn't just abjuration. Enchantment was also present in the strange energies these cultists gave off. Furthermore, now that he was within the tower, Arkisz was able to notice magical energies that had been blocked by the stone walls.

Specifically, he saw a large concentration of strange magic on the floor above through the wooden ceiling. It was similar to what Arkisz sensed on the cultists, only much more powerful and much more varied. The magic surrounding the cultists also seemed to be connected to the magic on the floor above. And whenever a cultist died, the magic surrounding them seemed to be drawn up towards the more powerful magic in the moments before it faded away.
