Starker and Cyrus spend a few minutes looking around the room through pieces of glass and jewels of different colors. You note that some have sets of very fine lines scribed on them. Cyrus throws a (spider monkey) handful of very fine coal dust in the air while Starker slowly fans with the pages of his notebook. Starker walks around the room, snapping and timing the echoes. He suddenly sits on the floor and starts to quickly write and solve a set of equations. He slams the notebook shut and says
”Fascinating …. Somehow, the Weave here has no Conjuration threads whatsoever, and those associated with Necromancy are about 20% thicker, rendering magic of that School half again as effective as elsewhere. If a neveomantic casting would usually cause four toes to turn gangrenous and rot, in here you would lose six! As my attempt to use Mage Hand is doomed here, I must do this the old fashioned way.”

Starker:”Hold, please. Something is wrong.”
Starker conducts an arcanic inventory of his abilities, trying other cantrips.
“I have not failed to conjure Mage Hand since my third lab session in Introduction to Conjuration. Something is very wrong.”
