The tunnel would last until he dismissed it, so he did not have to worry about it dismissing itself and ejecting everyone forcibly and painfully from it. It was wide enough for Vorela's natural form, and then some, about forty feet in diameter. He whistled to himself, off tune but deliberately, and started down the tunnel as if he didn't have a care in the world, though he did admit that they had a good point. "No one else is to touch it but myself. And even then, I will not touch it directly. I suspect that the crystal might be a corruption focus, allowing this...other being to access this plane through myself. And believe me, I will not do something stupid just to say I can."<br/><br/>Once at the location, he cast anti-gravity, though the term was a misnomer even if it was a custom spell that canceled gravity. The spell canceled gravity in its radius, allowing him to psionically move the earth away from it, again careful to not actually touch the crystal directly. Once he had most of the dirt free, he used a wind spell to blow the rest of the dirt off, before examining the crystal.
