Using crystals and geodes from [[Everdunes]], Atrus developed a technology that enabled him to "peak" into Ages through a blank [[linking Book]]. This technology worked best in very cold temperatures, and so he used Rime as the home for his experiments. His first success revealed an Age that could be altered by changing the colors of the crystals. These changes included varying the sea level, the tree density and color, the type of rock that made up the island, and the "camera angle" of the linking panel. After considerable trial and error, he and Catherine finally uncovered the sequence of crystal shapes and colors which let them peak into Riven, allowing them to monitor Gehn's actions there from a safe distance. | ||
While working in Rime, Atrus became enchanted by the aurorae that lit up the eternal night's sky. Together with [[Sirrus]] and [[Achenar]], he constructed three massive electricity towers. By running a current through the salty ocean water, he was able to sent huge amounts of power to these towers, creating a large magnetic field that triggered an artificial aurora. By varying the current, Atrus was able to create aurorae of different colors and intensities. | While working in Rime, Atrus became enchanted by the aurorae that lit up the eternal night's sky.
