The half-demon sniffed in the direction of the orb and spoke, "Clever. The magic is probably in there. I smell.. something magical in there, not sure what. The ring, however, does have a strong aura. Demon controlling, perhaps."


"Now, I'll just stand over here in case it blows up or something." Haeh walked several feet away from Marv to stand next to the Tiger demon.

I walk away from the potential blast zone as well.

Between the demon, spellblade, and minstrel, I have a feeling that I will end up dead by some random magic by the end of the day. I don't have any talent with these magical bindings, so I watch and wait, hoping for a non-disastrous result.
Romans 8:31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?

1 Corinthians 13:1-3 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

I place both hands on the orb and try to commune magically with the magic within it to determine how to undo it.

The mystic bindings on the orb resist at first but soon give way. Marv is gripped by a sudden burst of images and sensations. Magic circles and constraining runes dance in his mind, the sensation of binding ropes and immobility weighs down on him,  and the conflicting odors of sweet herbs and thick blood assault his mind.

As quickly as this appears, it vanishes as if squashed, and the mystic bindings reassert themselves with a sharp crackle of electricity.

(Including the crackling electricity from the wards, and what I can only assume looked like a mild stroke from the outside.?)

Cross-referencing your visions with your books shows you that the easiest way to break a binding of this type is to enlist outside help of a demonic nature.

"It seems I may need some demonic assistance to break this binding. So...." I look expectantly at the demons in the room.

I consider offering the help of the demons in return for the ring but decide against it. "Alright guys, which one of you wish to help?"

The demons shuffle around, and then the Shade drifts forward.

"I'll need some assitance with this spell demon, but don't get any ideas. I will not hesitate to destroy you." I place the sphere on the ground and draw a quick runed cirlce around it. Then I consult the book one last time to make sure I'm not forgetting anything.

The book details the need for the demon in question to channel power into the runed circle, which causes a imbalance in the flow of the binding. It does caution that sometimes contingencies may be set off once the binding falls.

"Ah," I begin tapping the walls with my staff in order to find a section that seems hollower than the others, that may be a wall seperating this room from another previous one.
