Bowing your head briefly as you lay hands upon the shrine, you concentrate, drawing your power from it. Before continuing, you blow out your candle. A thin tendril of smoke curls towards the ceiling, still lit by the light of the pool. Hesitating for a moment, uncertain of how to proceed, you eventually settle for holding your right hand palm-down just above the surface of the pool. Black ooze flows forth, mixing with the liquid, bending it to your will.
A watery tentacle rises out of the basin, carrying a trio of tiny gemstones with it. Unthinking, you reach out and take them, brushing against the tip of it. Your hand tingles with a faint warmth while the tentacle withdraws back into the basin, joining the rest of the animated liquid in swirling gently around. As it does, the blue light shifts in time with its movement, casting strange shadows. This time you barely have a chance to identify the stones (another onyx, a black diamond, and an emerald) before the arrays within them erupt in light, crumbling to dust.

You feel the source of the familiar power increase dramatically as it is joined by two new feelings; funereal tones and damp earth blend with a faint sulphurous odor and a sensation of freshness and growth, tinged with a sharp musk. The overlapping sensations are heady and confusing, but you eventually clear your head, turning to the now-unmoving shrine. Bowing to it again, you channel the
power into it again. For some reason it feels easier this time.
