The Base of the Nexus Island 
  The beautiful glass and platinum structure of the Nexus headquarters rises
 up before you, gleaming in the sunlight.  It seems to be a low-roofed building
 made completely of glass with platinum supports, stays and accents.  The
 island it rests on seems to be completely made of a finely ground sand made
 up of ground glass and platinum.  The roof of the haven to the north reaches
 and apex at the center, and you can see rainbows of prismatic light reflected
 from its glass slopes.  The structure seems placed to contain the roiling
 forces of magic beneath.  Below you the pillar of the Veil writhes
 and changes, ebbs and flows with the tides of power.  Beneath your feet
 the sand shows recent foot prints.  An invisible barrier holds the island
 together, keeping it floating high in the air above the Sea of Despair.
 The grains of sand sparkle in the light and the scent of an exotic desert
 flower reaches your nose.  Small rocks are scattered throughout the sand
 of different colors reminiscent of uncut gemstones.  The air around you
 feels electrified, currents of magic attempting to close in on you from
 the pillar below.  Something about the nature of this island, however,
 seems to contain the raw elements below, keeping them balanced and in check.

Inside a Magical Rift 
  You stand within the prismatic veil, a rift of pure magic that constantly
 shifts, ebbs and flows, ever changing with the force of magic within the
 realm.  The veil itself seems strangely substantial and beneath your feet
 you can see what appears to be steps made from sheer bands of magic that
 form something of a spiral staircase around the perimeter of the veil.
 Inside the magical rift of the Veil, the thrum of magic in the air
 makes hair, fur and feather stand on end with its power.  Rays of sunlight
 mingle with beams of magic, creating a swirling pillar of color to surround
 you.  The rift changes constantly; it is always affected by the powers within
 and without and as magic changes in the realm, the rift feels it and responds.
 The beams of magic themselves feel odd; icy one moment, fiery hot the next.
 Jolts of electricity zap around you and you feel at turns hungry, full,
 lethargic and energized.  The beat of heavy wings echoes through the pillar,
 reminiscent one moment of angels, the next the sound of bat-like devils.
 Beneath your feet, the pillar seems stable enough to climb, though the stairs
 waver.

Inside a Magical Rift 
  You stand within the prismatic veil, a rift of pure magic that constantly
 shifts, ebbs and flows, ever changing with the force of magic within the
 realm.  The veil itself seems strangely substantial and beneath your feet
 you can see what appears to be steps made from sheer bands of magic that
 form something of a spiral staircase around the perimeter of the veil.
 Inside the magical rift of the Veil, the thrum of magic in the air
 makes hair, fur and feather stand on end with its power.  Rays of sunlight
 mingle with beams of magic, creating a swirling pillar of color to surround
 you.  The rift changes constantly; it is always affected by the powers within
 and without and as magic changes in the realm, the rift feels it and responds.
 The beams of magic themselves feel odd; icy one moment, fiery hot the next.
 Jolts of electricity zap around you and you feel at turns hungry, full,
 lethargic and energized.  The beat of heavy wings echoes through the pillar,
 reminiscent one moment of angels, the next the sound of bat-like devils.
 Beneath your feet, the pillar seems stable enough to climb, though the stairs
 waver.

The Base of the Nexus Island 
  The beautiful glass and platinum structure of the Nexus headquarters rises
 up before you, gleaming in the sunlight.  It seems to be a low-roofed building
 made completely of glass with platinum supports, stays and accents.  The
 island it rests on seems to be completely made of a finely ground sand made
 up of ground glass and platinum.  The roof of the haven to the north reaches
 and apex at the center, and you can see rainbows of prismatic light reflected
 from its glass slopes.  The structure seems placed to contain the roiling
 forces of magic beneath.  Below you the pillar of the Veil writhes
 and changes, ebbs and flows with the tides of power.  Beneath your feet
 the sand shows recent foot prints.  An invisible barrier holds the island
 together, keeping it floating high in the air above the Sea of Despair.
 The grains of sand sparkle in the light and the scent of an exotic desert
 flower reaches your nose.  Small rocks are scattered throughout the sand
 of different colors reminiscent of uncut gemstones.  The air around you
 feels electrified, currents of magic attempting to close in on you from
 the pillar below.  Something about the nature of this island, however,
 seems to contain the raw elements below, keeping them balanced and in check.

Inside a Magical Rift 
  You stand within the prismatic veil, a rift of pure magic that constantly
 shifts, ebbs and flows, ever changing with the force of magic within the
 realm.  The veil itself seems strangely substantial and beneath your feet
 you can see what appears to be steps made from sheer bands of magic that
 form something of a spiral staircase around the perimeter of the veil.
 Inside the magical rift of the Veil, the thrum of magic in the air
 makes hair, fur and feather stand on end with its power.  Rays of sunlight
 mingle with beams of magic, creating a swirling pillar of color to surround
 you.  The rift changes constantly; it is always affected by the powers within
 and without and as magic changes in the realm, the rift feels it and responds.
 The beams of magic themselves feel odd; icy one moment, fiery hot the next.
 Jolts of electricity zap around you and you feel at turns hungry, full,
 lethargic and energized.  The beat of heavy wings echoes through the pillar,
 reminiscent one moment of angels, the next the sound of bat-like devils.
 Beneath your feet, the pillar seems stable enough to climb, though the stairs
 waver.
