Temple of the Sun

The Temple of the Sun is a trial ground for channelers or atavists which is located near the Crystalsand Desert in Corval. The trial ground can only be found by an individual who has learned a minimum of third circle spells via an elemental's influence.
The trial itself takes place in a dimensional space where the challenge is determined randomly on entry by a challenger. The trials are optimized for fifth-circle magi. Those who pass the trial are allowed three requests which involve the magic of atavism or channeling, from techniques to items or the names of elementals which can help them advance further.
The challenges consist of the following variables.

• One of seven elemental affinities (Fire, Light, Sand, Fire and Light, Fire and Sand, Light and Sand, or Fire, Light, and Sand).
• One of fifty possible challenges (puzzles, research, riddles, but most often a form of combat).
• One of fifty variables (no retreat allowed, a time limit, ecetera).
• One of fifty limitations (restricting what elementals can be used, disallowing certain forms of spells, disallowing certain elements).
