Effect Slats on the sides of the box open to release beams of razor-sharp freezing darkness that swipe throughout area C5 and extend 10 feet south into area C4 ; all creatures in this area who lack the Shadow trait take 5d6 slashing damage and 5d6 cold damage (DC 34 reflex).
Disable DC 41 thievery (expert) to feel the subtle vibrations when moving a rune to shift into the right position, or DC 33 thassilon-lore (expert) or DC 38 society (master) while being able to read Thassilonian to work out the anagram puzzle using traditional means, or Dispel Magic (7th rank; counteract DC 34)
All six sides of this adamantine-reinforced box are covered with Thassilonian runes. Touching a rune allows one to exchange its position with another.
