Morgaine's Crystal Ball

A dark glass orb embedded in a gnarled metal stand, its polished surface reflecting flickering points of light that shift as Morgaine manipulates it. The ball’s inky depths churn when her fingers trace the circumference, summoning visions of the Doctor’s movements and Mordred’s exposed position. Its weight seems to anchor her calculations, granting confidence as she exposes the Doctor’s bluff with cold precision.

Morgaine goads knights into fratricide

Morgaine’s crystal ball serves as both a scrying device and psychological amplifier during the knights’ convergence. She commands through its obsidian depths, her voice transmitted from the orb itself as crackling lightning streaks across its surface, her order turning loyalty into fratricide. The knights react immediately to the vision within its rolling storm, their cohesion shattered by paranoia.

Before: Suspended on a slender stand at Morgaine’s command position, glowing faintly with inner light and charged with arcane energy.

After: Glowing brighter with residual storms of command, now stained with the knights’ desperate energy as it continues to transmit Morgaine’s will.

Ace defies and the Destroyer breaks free

Before: Active on her hand/floating near her, providing visual surveillance and communication with Mordred and sensing the Doctor's movements.

After: Detached, floating idle near Morgaine during her retreat from direct control, its reporting function halted by her inability to wield it while trapped by the ward's limits.

Brigadier outmatched faces Destroyer alone

The boarded windows—pale pine planks nailed hastily across the castle’s arrow slits—become the point of failure when the energy lash hurls the Brigadier through them. Impacted by his mass they groan but do not splinter entirely, leaving jagged edges and some resistance before collapsing inward under the supernatural force.

Before: Firmly nailed in diagonal pattern to muffle external light and muffle gunfire, showing axe scars and sap stains from hurried preparation.

After: Partially shattered on the left side where the Brigadier breached them, planks dangling like broken teeth and exposing the storm-lashed night beyond.
