Resistance Sphere

See this magic device right here? It's nearly a thousand years old. My uncle was an avid collector and he kept this Resistance Sphere in working condition.

This very device was used by Great Mages of the past to keep allods from being devoured by the Astral. Of course, there have been great advances in the field of magic since then and no one has used these antiques in ages, but this sphere may still prove itself useful.

I'm not a Great Mage, but I will try my hardest to activate it. There is no other choice, we must activate the Resistance Sphere to buy us more time to make an escape portal.

I must warn you though, using the Resistance Sphere has a potentially negative side effect. It's possible that elementals will appear because their power is tied to the Resistance Sphere itself. They do not want us draining away their energy source. I'll focus on activating the sphere, just support me if anything happens!

I wasn't able to complete the ritual but I bought us enough time to at least make it to the portal room.

I've been carrying these weapons around with me and I don't have much use for them. I need to focus on activating the portal, you know. Why don't you take one?
