The collaboration between Alaric, Archmage Priscilla, and Iridelle in the arcane laboratory yielded results, though not precisely the revolutionary breakthrough Alaric had initially envisioned.
Creating a truly portable, reusable, long-range teleportation artifact proved more complex than theory suggested. The spatial mechanics involved, even with Priscilla's Archmage-level perception, encountered unforeseen resonance issues when miniaturized and detached from a massive, stable anchor like the manor itself.
"The coordinate drift is persistent," Priscilla admitted, frustration clear in her usually composed voice as she analyzed the feedback from another failed test on a prototype artifact – a beautifully crafted amulet designed by Iridelle. "Maintaining a stable wormhole anchor across such distances without a fixed physical matrix… the energy fluctuations required for stabilization at the portable end become exponentially unpredictable."
