  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 parameter of the veil.
The shadows of night darken the magic yet the absense of the sun does 
nothing to make the vision before you any less powerful.  Swirls of color 
and beams of magical energy wind around you; some just on the corner of your 
vision.  This entire place is one giant pillar of pure magic, and you can 
feel yourself tugged by its influences.  It ebbs and flows around you, 
weakening and strengthening based on what is currently happening with the 
Veil in the realm.  Steps of energy form under your feet as you place 
them, allowing you to move around the core.  The core itself radiates its 
own light and winds up and down with threads of magic in every color you 
can imagine.  Icy tendrils of power reach out to you, and hot wisps of fire 
float past you, not quite reaching to burn you.

Inside a Darkened 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 parameter of the veil.
The shadows of night darken the magic yet the absense of the sun does 
nothing to make the vision before you any less powerful.  Swirls of color 
and beams of magical energy wind around you; some just on the corner of your 
vision.  This entire place is one giant pillar of pure magic, and you can 
feel yourself tugged by its influences.  It ebbs and flows around you, 
weakening and strengthening based on what is currently happening with the 
Veil in the realm.  Steps of energy form under your feet as you place 
them, allowing you to move around the core.  The core itself radiates its 
own light and winds up and down with threads of magic in every color you 
can imagine.  Icy tendrils of power reach out to you, and hot wisps of fire 
float past you, not quite reaching to burn you.

(Translucent) A moving refraction in space forms a vaguely humanoid outline.

<660hp 457m 571mv 21283tnl (-21.62%)> The Twilight Base of the Nexus Island
  The soft glow of a moonlight night reveals a subdued structure made of 
glass and fortified and supported by beams, stays and accepts of platinum.
It sits upon an island of sand, rising high into the air over the Sea of 
Despair.  Somehow, the dwellers within created a small castle floating in
the sky.  Overlooking the pillar of magic created by the Veil, it 
seems something within this structure guards the forces of chaos below.
The panes of glass creating the walls of the enclave before you are
darkened, though you can see a warm glow emanating from somewhere within the
building.  The platinum frame of the building gleams in the soft moonlight,
and you can see the stars reflected in its sloping glass roof.  The sand 
beneath your feet seems to be made of ground glass and platinum, each bit 
reflecting the dim light back at you.  Small rocks of darkened stone sift 
through the sand, scattered here and there.  Beneath this plane of sand 
you can see the vibrantly writhing currents of magic of the Veil.  The 
power pulls at your feet, attempting to draw you back to its core.  
Something about the nature of this island, however, seems to contain the 
raw elements below, keeping them balanced and in check.
