S6E9 · The Mind Robber Part 4
Master reveals his creative captivity

The wires are the physical manifestation of the Master’s compelled connection to the globe. They snake from the skull cap to the globe’s filaments, a visible metaphor for the Higher Power’s control over his mind. The wires’ thinness and precision contrast with the globe’s bulk, emphasizing the fragility of the Master’s autonomy.

After: Pulsing briefly as the globe activates, then returning to a steady hum.
