Psychic resistance or protection is required; rationalists without resistance are overwhelmed
The Xeraphin Sanctum Chamber serves as the stage for the Master’s triumph and the Doctor’s enforced retreat. Its psychically reinforced geometry amplifies the Master’s leverage, while the chamber’s strange atmosphere renders physical intervention futile against temporal coercion, pushing the remaining heroes toward a mental rather than physical confrontation.

The space itself seems to breathe, amplifying the Xeraphin’s call and mocking rational resistance.

The sanctum’s existence looms psychically in the background of Angela’s struggles, serving as the ultimate target of the Doctor’s and Xeraphin’s opposing intentions.
