Alien Cube

Found in the lair of a Mind Flayer, hidden behind the waterfall in the primitive village of Bra'bot.

A six sided item, trimmed with a queer form of adamantine, circular rings hover within the centre of each open side and seemingly contain the power held within which appears to swirl and oscillate in a persistent motion. It is most unlike any item known to the material plane and even through the means of identify, it is only discovered that it is used as a mode of transportation.

Spending the best part of a week investigating the metal frame, it is found that the alloy is not that of adamantine but yet possesses similar properties and durability of the known metal. Whilst adamantine is a form of metal, it appears that the framework of the item is an alien mix of rock and glass giving the texture and appearance of a metal. Where metals would split and bent under heavy pressure, the material of the item cracks and fragments upon immense strain and damage.

Whilst the energy contained within the cube does not reflect anything within the known studies of the arcane, it does appear to be reactive to thought as the researcher harnesses mental energy to provoke some form of response, with the conduit enflaming and seemingly conductive of psionic thoughts.

Each central ring has brail like text that cannot be deciphered by magic, but is similar in nature to the Qualith Tome.

With each side containing differing text than the other, it would be established that each side can be activated by the use of mental proficiency and energy to plane shift a number of people that is unknown to a untold location. Without translation of the cube's text upon the central ring, it cannot be deciphered as to where each side of the cube would plane shift users to, but only that it is likely to be within either astral sea or far realms due to the Illithid design and Qualith text upon each ring.

It also not yet whether there is a side that can be activated to return a party to the lair in which the cube was found or whether the cube regains charges upon use.
