12.	Upon the wall of the cavern hangs a mirror of black stone. As you approach, a spectral image with no face appears within. She lingers for an instant, and clutches something in her hand. Then she points behind you, and softly fades away. Peering behind you, there is a small dais and a bright object which was not there a moment ago.
13.	Drawing forth to the phantom dais, the shining object resting upon it appears to be in the shape of a human head, made of solid gold, but lacking any facial features. Just a blank, void golden head. ->use [GOLDEN TEETH], [GOLDEN NOSE], [GOLDEN EARS], [GOLDEN EYES] Touching the witch's golden teeth to the gilt head, they magically meld into place. Touching the witch's golden nose to the gilt head, it magically meld into place. Touching the witch's golden ears to the gilt head, they magically meld into place. Touching the witch's golden eyes to the gilt head, they magically meld into place. The beautiful face of the golden head now complete, a phosphorescent brume begins to coalesce around the bewitching fantata. From the smoky plumes arises the full form of the golden witch Hilynda, enchanting and radiant, and made whole again. One hand is raised upright, in a reverent sign of peace and tranquility, and in the other burns bright a glowing pyramid, upon whose apex floats an illuminant eye. With a voice delicate and tender she speaks: And in thy final hour of darkness, when the battle be bloodiest and all hope becomes lost. Let this icon, this Elysiad, be thy guiding spirit, and help deliver unto thee thy place of destiny, as thee hast delivered unto me mine own. She then waves her hand over the divine icon and it becomes black as jet, and she places it upon the dais. Then, speaking again, she says: Herein this domain lies a part of thy puzzle. For as the prophesy is fulfilled, the time has come that it be revealed. Remember that thee dost always travel a road leading to thine own discovery. And in an iridescent plumage of billowing clouds, she becomes an ether and gently wisps away. ->get [ELYSIAD OF DIVINITY] Picking up the obsidian tetrahedron, you feel a flowing surge of enchanted energy, which bestows a special blessing. ->each member increase one attribute, wall at point '14' removed
