Aether-Punk Glantri - The Vault
by Marc SaindonThe Vault is an alternative to the Radiance as a power source, in which Deirdre Hillsbury through (plot device) has bound Etienne d'Ambreville (aka Rad) to use him as an energy source for Glantri. The magitech somehow drains and converts Power Points of Immortals. Blame Blackmoor?
Secret experiments have been made to infuse some Magic-Users with a portion of divine essence, although they all turn mad and self-destruct with lots of collateral, but it could be the key to cloning Immortals or upgrading mortals to such a status.
