Success

Carefully done

It is like disassembling a device wound up with tensed springs. [...] Violant light seeps out of it. [...] you make sure to open the box and capture as much as you can, [...]

The box is in your thoughts for days afterwards. [...] It is difficult to forget about.


Failure

Wrenched open

With the tip of a screwdriver, you pry open the sounder; its pieces fly apart in a release of tension, and violant light floods the room. You have just enough time to capture it with your mirrorcatch box.
