"Zantei: Keraunos Cathedral"
The words left Thalia's lips, and reality fractured.
Purple-white lightning erupted from her body, shooting upward and outward in blinding arcs. The cathedral walls dissolved as her domain established itself, replaced by a vast storm-dark arena that stretched fifty meters in every direction. The floor transformed into crystallized lightning—smooth, translucent plates that crackled with contained energy beneath her feet.
Towering storm pillars materialized around the perimeter, each one a massive column of churning thundercloud that reached toward a ceiling of roiling darkness. Lightning constantly arced between these pillars, creating a cage of electric energy that defined the boundaries of her domain.
The air itself became charged, each breath tasting of ozone and power. Tiny sparks danced across every surface, and the ambient light shifted to an otherworldly purple-white glow that emanated from nowhere and everywhere at once.
