Editing Ice shield (section)

== Use on Narayan ==
The crystals from Amateria produce a distinctly powerful effect on Narayan. An electrified crystal emits a resonance which causes water molecules in Narayan's atmosphere to align themselves into an unbreakable shell of ice. The radius of the shell varies depending on the size of the crystal being powered. [[Atrus]] took advantage of this behavior to create a secure "airlock" at the link-in point for [[Narayan]] by building two ice shield generators of different sizes. In order to unlock the inner shield, visitors would have to enter the [[Narayani (language)|Narayani]] "poems" given to them by Atrus's lessons in the other Ages accessible from [[J'nanin]]. This inner shield blocked access to a lower chamber where the J'nanin Book was stored, as well as the Narayani symbols used to spell out the poem needed to unlock the outer shield and gain access to the rest of the Age. After 20 years, though, the inner shield acted as a barrier to accessing the gondola platform as well, since the other doorway has become overgrown with lattice tree roots.
