A young wizard treks through the jungle, a map and a compass in his hands. Entering a clearing, he looks up from them, and starts scanning the rocky hillside he has arrived at. His glance halts at a cavity. He promptly rolls up his map, hangs the compass back on his belt, and heaves up the rock in front of the cavity.
A faint blue glow is visible from deeper within the opening. The traveler fastens his hat, and begins the descent.
Before coming very far, the cavity opens out into a tunnel. On the wall he just emerged from, letters etched into it glow in the same blue as the crystals now around him. He ruffles through his robes and compares the scripture with one of his notes. He has found what he had sought.
>7. The water level, temperature, and structure of the circles adapt to the guest's will.
After copying the script into the notebook, he turns to follow the tunnel. Into the ceiling, similar scriptures are etched.
>6. The waters of the circles cleanse all illnesses and poisons, unless the guest desires otherwise.
>5. The guest decides if any belongings are transported with a person when arriving here, and which.
>4. After the ritual has ended, everyone transported here will return to their place at the turn of the next midnight.
>3. Whoever is transported here loses all memory of the time spent here, afterwards. Physical influences remain.
>2. Whoever is transported here is woken up when the guest enters their circle, and perceives this cave, as well as the guest, but noone else who doesn't also enter the circle.
>1. When someone gets transported here, they are shackled by the forces of this cave. The forces bind them to the walls, and to their circle, unless the guest desires otherwise.
A bright blue shimmer shines in the large cavern at the deep end of the way. A corridor lined with crumbled pillars leads out of the cave and into the darkness on another side. Inside the almost perfectly hemispherical hall, seven basins, multiple arms lengths in diameter each, are arranged around a rune at the center and filled with glistening water. The mage looks around, scribbles a last line, and victoriously shuts his notebook close, to place his things down next to the rune, and then step onto it.
Without a word spoken, rumbles echo through the stone, and the basins change shape. One's rim overgrows with moss, a large stalagmite shifts into the center of another, some begin steaming, one forms a thin sheet of ice.
In elaborate scripture, a last sentence is etched all around the walls like a ring.
>When the guest enters the focus, the people who they felt the strongest sexual desires for at any point during their life, will be transported to the circles.
Seven figures rise from the water with their eyes closed. Who appears, and what do they and the wizard do?
