Rattan felt his mind reel, struggling to grasp the enormity of what he was hearing. His brain went blank for a moment before he managed to articulate the thought that crashed through his shock. "Do you mean... that such an object can be handed to any mage, as long as their interests align with its purpose?"
"That's precisely it, Rattan," Vellok confirmed, a grim nod emphasizing his words. "This colossal, planet-sized vessel, this 'impossible' construct, isn't some unique, divine artifact. It's a tool, a research station, a mobile laboratory for those mages powerful and reckless enough to wield it. It functions like a vast, cosmic canvas for their experiments, a place where they can conduct research that would impact lesser worlds."
