X-ray Scanner

A heavy, industrial-grade scanner mounted on a sturdy stand, its casing humming with latent electrical charge. The device’s exposed components emit a dim, bluish glow as Parsons activates the ancient tome’s molecular analysis. When the artifact’s unstable energy interacts with the scanner’s beams, the machine erupts in instant, violent combustion—flames licking across its surface as Parsons stumbles back, shielded from the sudden inferno by sheer shock.
