The chamber was alive with arcane energy, the scent of burning incense mingling with the faint trace of aged parchment and candle wax. Valeria Veil stood at the heart of the ritual, her silhouette bathed in the eerie glow of flickering candlelight. The obsidian mirror before her pulsed with shifting symbols, each sigil meticulously carved into its glass surface, glowing faintly like dying embers.
