Vanessa remains quiet, as she waits to hear what Henry has to say.

“Okay, okay! I will be careful, no worries,” Kyra says, waiting for the spellcaster to tell them what he sees, before considering further steps.
She does take a closer look at the object from her position, however, not getting too close to it, however, keeping at least a few steps away.

A closer look at the object shows it to be a silver palgue,perhaps book, the size of a large vellum sheet and about an inch thick. The cover, which is facing up, is of silver with a black circle in which a 12 pointed gold star is set. The object itself is attached to the paviallion stage with two very fine silver chains.

Henry finds himself blinking and rubbing his eyes yet again this morning. "Whatever that thing is it is highly magical." He continues to look at it to gauge the strength and type of magic present. Henry studies the item carefully curious as to its nature.
[sblock=GM]
1st Round: Presence or absence of magical auras.
2nd Round: Number of different magical auras and the power of the most potent aura.
3rd Round: The strength and location of each aura. If the items or creatures bearing the auras are in line of sight, you can make Knowledge (arcana) skill checks to determine the school of magic involved in each. (Make one check per aura: DC 15 + spell level, or 15 + 1/2 caster level for a nonspell effect.) If the aura emanates from a magic item, you can attempt to identify its properties (see Spellcraft).

[sblock]the auras as best you can discern is both necromatic, demonic and summoning, as well as illusionary in nature. you can not quite get a good fix on it.[/sblock]

Henry looks up after staring at the silver item for some time. "I am at a loss. This is way beyond my meager skills to understand. I see summoning, necromantic and demonic magic and yet something about it is illusory as well. I suppose it could be the source of what has happened here or perhaps it was the power behind the fireworks last night." He shrugs.
Declan
Declan's inteterst in piqued by the mention of a magical artefact, and he is distracted from summoning the guards. Reluctant to climb onto the stage with the others, he silently curses himself for not memorising Detect Magic the day before.
"I, also, have some training in magic - though I supect a different variety to the one you employ. My name is Declan, by the way. I am a priest of Abadar and will do what I can to help bring justice to the murderers." Declan fingers the silver holy symbol at his neck, thinking on what to do next.
"You are correct that the artefact could be the source of last night's fireworks. Summoning and illusion would support that. Necromantic I am confused as to its use. Necromancy relates to life forces...both helping them and snuffing them out. It does not deserve the bad reputation it has. Magic is neither good nor evil - the use and intent of magic is of far greater importance than the school. Perhaps it was included that none would feel poorly last night?"
Declan pauses again, thinking hard. "A demonic influence I cannot explain. By all rights none in the Royal household should have any contact with demons. Yet it is present you say...meaning the artefact has become corrupted or it is placed malignantly. That could mean that our poor companions have been sacrificed as a ritual of some sort. A chilling thought, to be sure... Come, surely you can divine more information than that? We MUST know more. Concentrate!"
OOC: Spellcraft assist for Henry, plus one use of Inspiring Word domain power (+2 to skill attempts, among other things, for 1 round. 6 uses remaining.
