Your mastery of Nexus enables you to withstand the tremendous heat that is now radiating through the chamber door. Slowly the bronze begins to change colour at the centre of the portal; it glows dully-red. As you edge away from this hot spot to avoid the risk of it igniting your clothes and pack, a ball of white-hot plasma pushes clean through the glowing metal. You gasp with shock when you see that this ball is attached to a pale white arm. As you recoil from it, the arm attempts to pummel you with its fiery, ball-like fist.
