Unstable Artifact

Detailed Visual Overview of the Object

The magical altar is a multi-level stone structure consisting of eight large stone blocks, with a distinct purple circle embedded in the center. A small glowing crystal is positioned at the very top.

The altar stands out due to its striking magical visual effects: violet energy flows continuously swirl around the structure, producing a vibrant and dynamic glow. The blue crystal at the top acts as the main source of light. Other visual elements include sparkling particles and glowing runes inscribed into the floor’s surface.

This altar is located inside a temple designed in a unique architectural style using golden-brown stone. The surroundings highlight the altar’s importance with towering columns and high, vaulted ceilings. The color scheme contrasts the warm tones of the stone with the cool, mystical glow.
