[ As you enter the alley and the gate shuts heavily behind you, the lantern you've been holding shatters into bright flakes of white light and vanishes. ]
[ You can still feel it, though. ]
[ Innately, you know the lantern is not gone, and not broken. It has gone into your Armiger -- a space inside of you, next to your soul. You can feel it in there, ready for you to call it into existence once again, any time you want. ]
[ In fact, now that you're paying attention, you can feel there is something else in your Armiger besides your lantern, waiting for you to call it into being. You know that all you have to do is hold out your hand and it will appear in your palm the moment you will it to be so. ]
[ In a glittering flash of white light, the thing you called for drops into your palm. ]
[ It's a sword with a golden hilt inset with a gleaming turquoise opal. The white-silver blade reflects subtle prismatic rainbow colors, even in the harsh light of the street lamps. ]
[ As you turn it in your hands, you can feel something strange about it. You can feel... that it has been imbued with the power of lightning. ]
[ As surely as you are breathing, you understand: while you are holding this object, you will be able to channel its power and cast Thundara at will. ]
[ You now have access to your Armiger. You can put things into it at any time, and they will appear or disappear from your hand at your whim. ]
[You hold you your hand dramatically! and a bolt of force lightning peals from your fingers, ripping up the wall and blackening the ground. Garbage bursts into flames; charred bits of plaster sprinkle down all around you like rain.]
[Though the electricity crackles over your arms and through your hair, it feels tingly but does not hurt. You're immune to it.]

and then quickly composes herself to be a serious person in an unknown place. But the sword goes back to her armiger-- and she? moves forward. secretly delighted]
[ With the closed gate at your back, there’s only one exit, and it’s in front of you. ]
[ The alley is narrow and zig-zags through crumbling buildings. Eventually you see the exit, and the man who’s standing at the end of the alley, waiting for you. ]

[oh good, she's going to clamber over to them as quickly as possible, to that alleyway]
