A saint's reliquary sealed with an arcane ward that bites.
The reliquary hums with old magic. Five conduits of coloured light run across its lid into a ward stone, and the temple's defusal canon is kept by the abbot, who is not here.
Five threads of light pulse across the lid. The ward stone at their heart is warm to the touch.
