Things were finally looking up this time - when Rayne cast Color Spray, the runes of the magic circle flared to life, and the northern symbol glowed and did not fade away. Then she cast Spark, and the corresponding symbol started to glow as well, as well as the very tip of the arrowhead, turning dull orange with heat. She loosed the arrow, the ember kindled and turned into a flame that engulfed the entire arrowhead as the projectile flew. Mage Hand's timing was perfect, and amazingly the magical hand caught the arrow and returned it to her, the tip burning without fuel with a heatless flame. When next Rayne looked down, the entire inscription - magic circle, symbols, and all - was glowing white.<br/><br/>Even better news was the receding magma level quickly dropping down to its original height. A second stone bridge rose up, extending to the opposite end of the chamber and opening the way forward.<br/><br/>The next room felt peaceful, a place for rest and reward. It was a long hallway, with walls engraved with a giant mural of forest trees. The carvings continued into the ceiling and the floor, with branches arching overhead along the ceiling above and roots crisscrossing along the ground at her feet. There were seven solemn statues spread out along the path, humans, half-elves, and elves, slightly larger than life, three on her left and three on her right, while the last one was at the far end of the hall. The six statues had bows drawn and nocked towards the sky, with arrows whose heads burned with continuous flames that provided illumination. At each of their feet was a tablet upon which the names of the arcane archers of the previous ages were written. Judging by how serious the names were, these were probably lore, and not real player characters.<br/><br/>The seventh and last statue was that of a half-elf, and bore a suspicious resemblance to Rayne, to boot. Its pose was the same as the others, except that its drawn bow was conspicuously missing its arrow. The tablet at its feet was also mostly blank, except for a few short lines of instructions written at its top:<br/><br/><em>"Record your name for posterity, ye who passed the trials of might and mind, and light the fire of the seventh age."</em>
