Your mastery warns you that the shimmering curtain of light which fills the archway ahead will cause harm to any living thing that passes through its beams. However, your senses also detect that beyond the archway lies the only sure route by which you can gain access to the higher levels of this dread citadel.

If you wish to pass through the shimmering archway and risk injury, possibly even death, then turn to 265.

If you decide to search for an alternative way of reaching the upper levels of the Crystal Spire, turn to 4.
