The Elder shook their head. "No, just stand on the platform and you should see a copy of your soul appear in the empty tank over there," they pointed to the other side of the room where tubes were connected to a large glass tank. "Now, don’t leave." They started to press some holographic buttons where the machine started to rotate around me. Points of magical energy struck me, but went through my body with no harm done. In the tank, purple energy started to coalesce in the center. It continued to grow and I thought I saw some blue energy travel the tubes, but with all the lights in the room, I decided it was due a reflection in the glass considering I was seeing reds and greens. After a few minutes, a large ball of royal purple energy was rotating in the tank.
