Somewhat irked by the pointlessness of his expenditure of mental strength, Vinoh gets up, shakes the dirt from his grey robe and gathers himself. The members of the group who were still on the ground seemed agitated about something...
Suddenly, Vinoh feels a great swell of power towards the base of the ziggurat and hears the echo of Father Quadrial's voice shatter the eerie stillness that had befallen the area. He immediately makes his way to the good Father and notices that a cleft had been open in the rock, which uncovered the source of the magic that now permates the area.
Vinoh is stunned as several members of the group pull out veritable treasures from the blinding light. Blinking, Vinoh reaches in as well and produces...
Three small gems. One a beautiful blue crystal, another a mysterious onyx and the last a cloudy yellow gem of unknown origin. Impressed by the beauty of his find, Vinoh can't help but feel that he must now open his mind to them and accept them as part of his very being. Slowly, the mind mage closes his eyes. Without any effort, the gems begin to vibrate and levitate. Gently, they make their way to Vinoh's head, where they stop about 6 inches from contact. Amazed, the mage watches the gems start a steady clockwise rotation around his head...
Vinoh feels his will bulge with power! Perhaps these were a few of the legendary mind stones his master had told him about, which were said to confer great mental abilities to those who had mastered their will and inner strength. However, perhaps they were something entirely different! Only time and patience would tell.
