The Summoning Box
The Summoning Cube
A chain-lightning-infused box calls the needed storm goddess but also summons a second god because deep-floor use produces unpredictable extras.
Story so far
Mordecai carries the device away from the exit and activates it far enough to buy preparation time without losing the gods' attention. Infusing it with a chain-lightning potion successfully biases the result toward storm deities.
The box summons both Dodola and Adad. Odette notes that additional gods sometimes appear this deep, making the result dangerous but initially useful because either could activate the storm puzzle.
Appearance
A compact magical cube crackling with stored chain lightning beneath acid rain.
Role
The box creates the divine encounter required for the party's final exit puzzle.
Relationships
Mordecai — He places and activates it away from the party.
Dodola — It summons the intended storm goddess.
Adad — It unexpectedly summons him as a second deity.
Chain-Lightning Potion — The infusion determines the storm affinity.
