A spire of glowing coral glows wildly, as the Pearl Staff of Rushing Water
floats within the coral, beginning to glow the same azure light as the spire
itself.

Manchal, the Scholarly Aquamancer says, "Dropped it, lad. Watch your
butterfingers."

You bow your head and close your eyes, radiating a powerful, refreshing health
aura around yourself.

Mariello nods his head emphatically.
Soft rippling waves of energy coalesce around me, before spreading downwards,
washing out across and through the waters in a dizzying display of light,
ranging from the deepest of blues to the softest blues of the clear sy.

Mariello Shervalian says, "I shall try."

Manchal, the Scholarly Aquamancer exclaims, "Oh my, cover the eyes!"

The churning winds and swirling clouds above the Inner Sea ripple and crackle
with thunder, raining fiery streams of lightning down upon the tossing waves.

Elodres places both hands over his eyes, blocking the world from sight.

Manchal, the Scholarly Aquamancer places both hands over his eyes, blocking the
world from sight.

The coral spire begins to glow a brilliant blue, motes of light racing up from
the depths. The spire begins to vibrate and the crystals within quiver in
response, a soft, whisper-y hum washing upwards from beneath the waves.

Mariello Shervalian looks away.

Spreading her arms wide, Accalia spins clockwise and a shimmering white orb
springs up around her.

Suddenly the Pearl Staff of Rushing Water erupts into a single beam of pure
azure light, which climbs along its haft in fluid tendrils of liquid light.

Lukretia blinks.

The tip of the staff begins to fade away from sight as the beam grows more
intense, spreading outwards and consuming more and more of the Pearl Staff of
Rushing Water.
A pinprick of light races upwards from the heart of the Inner Sea, trailing
azure energy. Slowly the tail begins to expand, and the pinprick becomes a solid
beam.

The clouds above the Inner Sea begin to turn and swirl, racing about the eye of
the storm, now pierced by the beam, with a flurry of lightning racing from cloud
to cloud and from cloud to water.

A spire of glowing coral fades away as the light expands and envelops you,
washing outwards.
A cool azure light washes over you, your skin tingling with an expectant
feeling, one of excitement yet a calm, refreshed feeling.

The Inner Sea disappears beneath the onslaught of the azure glow, shining
brilliantly. Small motes of white and deep blue float about the curtain of
energy, disappearing and reemerging farther up.

The light slowly begins to shimmer, as the curtain turns to falling water.
Within moments it begins to clear, the dark and furious clouds now gone.
Cool water splashes down upon you as the azure light begins to fade,
miraculously into a pure, crystalline rainfall.

Grandmistress Saaga Dekoven, The Dean of Twilight blinks, trying to shield her
eyes with a sleeve.

Sarrasri takes a deep breath as the crystal surface of her face softens and
shifts in colour, a muted glow appearing within.

Manchal, the Scholarly Aquamancer's mouth turns up as his face breaks into a
smile.

Elodres gives Mariello a wild cheer!

The Inner Sea.
Silvery moonlight sparkles in the air. A smattering of clouds fills the sky,
lacing it with spiderwebs of grey. The ocean swells and rises, sometimes
cresting with white foam. Rife with seaweed and plant life, the salty waters are
crystal blue, a sparkling azure landscape that stretches out as far as the eye
can see. Though the waters are relatively warm, a dangerous undertow can be felt
lurking beneath the surface. The almost hypnotic rise and fall of the ocean is
broken only by the occasional seagull cawing to its mates, or by the splash of a
fish arcing out of the waters. Floating on the ocean waves is a large mass of
sargassum seaweed. The base of an enormous spire of glowing emerald coral grows
from the sea floor here and twists up and out of sight.

Manchal, the Scholarly Aquamancer exclaims, "And look at that! No death!"

Dark storm clouds linger on the edge of the Basin of Life, slowly dissipating
into the distant winds.
