Turning the arm this way and that, he also establishes that there is no pattern to the presses -- which runes are used depends entirely on what the door/portal needs to open it, not on where they are on the arm itself.OOC: As a timesaver, I'll assume that the spelleaters have been asked about the siphon -- they already think you know about it, so they will have no problem filling in the blanks. The sphere closest to their nest (the dust-free one) is the siphon.Their nest is situated so that they can bask in its magic from the the other side of the wall, and they frequently climb into the larger room to consume its energies more directly. Unlike the other items of magic that they have drained completely over time, something seems to refresh the siphon's magic -- hence the name. They are careful not to take too much too quickly, but even so, based on the years they've been lapping at its magic, it should be long dead by now.They have no idea what it does, nor do the they seem to care (although they do understand the question).</blockquote>
