20 = "Not all of the factory's power comes from the volcanic vent underneath it. These crystals are drawing in bolts of blue energy. They enter through the windows of the tower. The power travel flows down the crystals and into the floor.";
21 = "You have reached the highest level of the golem spire. This hall is dominated by massive pieces of machinery that rise up to the ceiling.";
22 = "Not all of the energy travels down the proper conduits, though. Some of it flies around loose, filling the room with bolts of energy. As long as this much power is flowing into the tower from outside, the defenses up here will be very dangerous.";
23 = "";
24 = "These spires can't just be pulling power out of thin air. There's just not enough magical energy there. The blue bolts must be being sent from somewhere else, outside the tower. ";
25 = "You notice that the power source is intermittent. Every few moments, it cuts out briefly. It's as if someone or something has tampered with the source, but not removed it entirely.";
26 = "";
27 = "You have reached the highest level of the golem spire. This hall is dominated by massive pieces of machinery that rise up to the ceiling.";
28 = "Not all of the factory's power comes from the volcanic vent underneath it. These crystals are drawing in bolts of blue energy. They enter through the windows of the tower. The power travel flows down the crystals and into the floor.";
29 = "Every once in a while, a small wave of lightning will crackle down one of the crystals and into the floor, casting off little bolts of fire as it travels. It is very little energy, though, for so massive a receiver.";
30 = "You must have succeeded in cutting off the power flow from outside the tower. No energy passes through these windows. The defenses on this floor will be weak.";
31 = "";
32 = "The moment you step on this rune, it triggers an alarm! The hooting and screeching only lasts for a few seconds, but you are certain that it was audible to everyone and everything on this level.";
33 = "You hear, echoing through the halls, a cacophony of magical explosions. It's a familiar sound: the sound of golems being rapidly assembled.";
34 = "";
35 = "A final blow shatters the mind crystal into a thousand pieces. There is no explosion. You see no lightning or similar pyrotechnics.";
36 = "Instead, you hear a soft, distant keening. A being rises from the crystal, an ethereal, writhing cloud. It begins to fade away, howling as it goes.";
37 = "Finally, it's gone. The effect is immediate. All the nearby golems collapse. Below you, you can hear the machines start to hum and rumble, running out of control now that their master is gone.";
38 = "The tower shakes with a series of explosions. Machines are exploding. Golems are running wild, destroying everything in sight.";
39 = "Fragments of the Spire's Heart fly everywhere. If you return to its lair, you might be able to collect a few. Could be useful evidence.";
40 = "You survey the wreckage. You notice that some of the shards of the crystal still glow slightly. You pick up a few to take with you. Maybe someone will be able to tell you something about them.";
41 = "";
42 = "You finally enter the highest chamber in the golem's infernal factory. This is the core, from which the war to scorch the lands of Monoroe Province is directed.";
43 = "To the west, you see an enormous crystal. It's similar to the power crystals you've already destroyed, but much larger and brighter. Its light adds a fiery sheen to everything in the room.";
44 = "When you enter, the crystal is talking. At least, you presume that's what that strange chittering noise is. You realize it must be sending commands to the machinery around it, and, from there, to the golem army. The stone must actually be intelligent!";
45 = "";
46 = "The crystal detects your presence instantly. The first thing it does is cloak itself in a field of defensive energy. Penetrating it will take an enormous amount of energy.";
47 = "The second thing it does is issue a series of commands to the factory machinery. The vats to the east rattle and smoke. In an instant, it begins to generate defenders.";
48 = "";
49 = "The energy and heat are starting to overwhelm you. You stumble back, before you collapse. Falling unconscious in here would mean certain death.";
50 = "";
51 = "You look out the windows of the tower. In this direction, you can see, in the distance, a stone circle with a shattered crystal in the middle. You already disrupted the flow of energy coming from this direction.";
52 = "You look out the windows of the tower. In this direction, you can see, in the distance, a stone circle with a glowing crystal in the middle. Energy is flowing from that circle to the tower, keeping the defenses active.";
53 = "";
54 = "The energy beam has shattered the Spire Heart's shield. You have turned the tower's incredible power against it. Your blows will affect the heart now.";
55 = "";
56 = "You strike the Spire Heart. Your blow is solid, but the crystal is surrounded by the magical shield that can easily deflect blows, be they from steel or bolts of fire.";
57 = "Your blades won't be adequate to reach the thing. You will need to find a way to pierce or wear away the barrier.";
58 = "";
59 = "The passage is blocked by a massive magical barrier, stronger than any you have encountered. The heat it puts off keeps you from even getting close. You won't be able to break it.";
60 = "The spire must be using some of the power it absorbs from outside to maintain this barrier. As long as that power continues to flow, you won't be able to get through.";
61 = "";
62 = "You have managed to erode the Spire Heart's protective barrier. The crystal can no longer spare the energy to maintain it. The barrier collapses, exposing the stone to your attacks!";
