This place is seeping with magic. We need to be prepared to be hit with any kind of spell.
*Focuses on the armor*
Here's hoping they don't use transmutation.

@Source

*the armor has a different set of runes flowing just above the pieces*
It seems something else is leaking the magic.

You shouldn't waste magic when it's not called for. You never know when you'll need it.
*Gazes into the path leading to the creature, the abyss, and the walls and ceiling of the chamber*

@Source

*When you look you see the path showing nothing from the surface, but further decryption shows the bottom of the path showing runes that create “movement”. The abyss and rest of the chamber is wild scatter of runes as decryption and translation of the runes.

Are you sure you want to waste the magic on such a simple spell?

@Source

A simple spell that only takes a minute amount of my resources. And even less to upkeep.
*looks at you and a small beam hits your eyes from mine and you see the runes glowing in front of my eyes*
Whatever you want analyzed your eyes and mind will tell me and I’ll send the information to you.

Hm, fine. Since Lily isn't here, do you have an identify skill of some kind?

@Source

Yes, I can grant you the ability to translate my identification magic temporarily.

Do you want to play offense or support?

@Source

You are team leader.

Which means we have to take it out? Won't the magic become unstable?
*Steps in beside you, checking for any sudden vibrations in the world around us*

@Source

Or take the armor.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Path>

What does that mean? That the magic artifact is its own guardian?

@Source

Sometimes magic bleeds into its environment due to the magic energy itself is unstable. It can warp the surroundings. Most of the time it creates wild and complex environments, but sometimes…sometimes.
*walks inside and looks around*
It creates rooms like this.

*Pulls back*
What is Lily even doing right now..? Anyway, looks like our first monster.

@Source

And it appears to be the artifact too.
*stares at the space*
It completely turned this room into its own realm. Or at least, the magic that was used bled through for an extraordinary amount of time.

*Looks it up and down*
What's the problem?

@Source

*points inside*
This may take some time…
*when you peer inside the room expands immensely, and you see a suit of armor sitting in the middle with a bridge reaching out towards it and nothing but blackness and void surrounding it*

*Follows, keeping a hand by the wall in preparation*

@Source

*steps to the main door and stops*
Huh, this may be complicated.
*waves you over*
