Ley Spire Labs

Used to refine spellcasting techniques, run experiments on planar connections, and calibrate the entire Arcanum’s defensive wards.

• Narrow towers with open lattice walls of enchanted blue stone, letting winds and magic currents pass freely.
• Catwalks and rope bridges connect them.

Small enchanted lifts take students and researchers up. Entry is heavily regulated.

• Air seems to flow in visible threads.
• Light constantly refracts, casting rainbow flares.
• Smells like rain on slate.

Specialist wizards called Ley Attuners, small elemental servitors tending rune panels.

Rune-drums that pulse to keep ley flows stable, crystal lenses that project fluctuations onto floating charts.

Tubes of condensed ley plasma — extremely volatile, used to supercharge spellcraft.

Sudden ley surges can arc between instruments, burning or momentarily phasing through solid matter.

Can intentionally trigger minor planar overlaps for study.

Added emergency shutoff glyphs after a planar echo nearly merged a lab with part of the Elemental Plane of Air.

Tall, delicately buttressed towers that look impossibly fragile — Azthalyndar’s wards keep them standing.

If attacked, the towers can channel power to emit disorienting bursts of ley force.

Where the first Stormwell Conduits were tested, eventually powering much of Zalara’s defensive grid.

Off-limits to most — small viewing platforms let guests watch rainbow ley lines swirl between spires.
