"Each standing stone is keyed to one of the eight schools of magic! My theory suggests that the central obelisk grants a boost in arcane power to mages across the cosmos, and I need your help to aim me in empowering it." the robed wizard says. A DC 15 Intelligence (Arcana) check, which some of you passed, discerns that the arcane runes do indeed relate to the eight schools of magic.
The wizard suggests that each of you place your hands upon a different stone, to assist in channeling the streams of magic if you wish to participate.
As you place your hands on the stones, the air fills with ozone as lightning courses over the standing stones. Each character who participates in the experiment takes 20 lightning damage and is additionally effected based on the school of magic associated with the standing stone that the character touched. 1
Abjuration: You gain +2 to your AC for the rest of the day. Evocation: You get slammed with 5 magic missiles, taking an additional 17 damage Conjuration: A monodrone pops into existence next to you. It looks at you with mild indifference. Enchantment: You are slammed with a confusion spell. DC15 to resist. 26
"Merde!" Jill cries out as she gets electrocuted and her hair shoots up in every direction. "You did not mention that we would get electrocuted for assisting you!" She shouts out to the man on the tower.

Misha's red hair stands on end as electricity courses through her body. It didn't feel very pleasant. At all. She staggered to regain her balance and felt her whole body charged and every nerve ending tingled, and not in a good way. She shrugged off a spell that tried to alter her mind, and the wizard stood there, frustrated and dumbfounded, and clearly without a care at what had just happened.
Meep gets flung backwards off the stone with a pained Yelp, landing in the dirt with a pained groan. "Never... Again." She remains on the ground for a solid minute or two, eyes closed as she hisses with pain before carefully forcing herself up, an arm slightly wrapped around her chest where the missiles contacted.

"Damn!" the Wizard says, "It didn't work! Something m-"
With an angry yell, Misha winds up and in a loud, messy manner, caves the wizard's skull in with her hammer. She stands there a few moments, shaking off the electricity, and fixing her hair. She looks towards the obelisk, and an angry voice within the black stone growls in frustration at this turn of events.
"Whatever ees eenside there stays een there."she growls. "Stupid Meesha to help Wizard een hell. Should hef known better."
She walks over to the smouldering red amphibian. "Gorf."she pokes you gently with the tip of her boot. "Are you okay?"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Persephone touches a random stone: 3
1 = Abjuration: You gain +2 to your AC for the rest of the day. 2 = Evocation: You get slammed with 5 magic missiles, taking an additional 15 damage 3 = Conjuration: A monodrone pops into existence next to you. It looks at you with mild indifference. 4 = Enchantment: You are slammed with a confusion spell. DC15 to resist. 25
And appearing from some random place in the abyss, 5 magic missiles shoot down and into Persephone's back. "OUCH!"
Meep looks up at Misha from the ground and chuckles half heartedly. "I... Guess? Not going to lie... that really hurt." She carefully gets up to her feet, her chest sore from the impact and she offers everyone a smile. "So... are we done here?"

Is Jill knowledgeable enough to determine which stone corresponds with which school of magic?

Meep will place her hands hesitantly on the first stone closest to her and try to see if she feels anything specific.
(Another arcana?)

Jill will go over each stone and when she finds the one that corresponds with Abjuration, she puts her hand on it.

Misha begrudgingly also places her hands on one of the stones, randomly, since she's not too familiar with wizardly arts.
