Object
Cave Luminous Ore
A jagged, unpolished gemstone pulsing with erratic silver-blue light, its fractured surface streaked with veins of violet gas that swirl within its crystalline matrix. Weighing no more than a handful, it radiates a searing heat that intensifies the cavern’s unnatural illumination, casting warped shadows that betray its corrupted power. The Doctor seizes it mid-stride despite Sondergaard’s protest, his grip firm around its unstable geometry as the spectral luminosity carves erratic paths through the air. Its unstable energy reacts visibly to movement, flickering like a dying flame in response to the Doctor’s desperate urgency.
