Well, at least this one's receptive. Unlike a certain man-bear that's now taking the brunt of his foolish ritual, as if trying to wrestle a force of nature ever ends up well.

That was one thing. The other, well. Asevor raised his cane, tapping to direct attention at the bulbous head. With a twist an outer shell was removed, breaking the concealment ward to reveal a red gemstone the size of an egg. Miniature runic carvings dotted every surface, coiling enchantments that fuels a feedback loop back into itself in a currently still stable cycle of energy... a massive amount of energy. Enough to be brightly visible even to the uninitiated. The entire construct was a desperate, demented creation designed to collapse inward and release all the stored energy in an apocalyptic blast should it be triggered. An insurance only the most paranoid master enchanter can come up with.
