The messages were clear. He couldn`t find any metaphysical significance of the somewhat-hidden room whose entrance door he`d scrutinized. But he knew that just because he couldn`t lay his finger on it didn`t mean it couldn`t be significant regardless. After all, either there would in fact be no significance to it, or it was too deeply buried and he couldn`t see it, he thought, grasping at straws. After all, he was back to expecting the worst after his visions. So his verdict was clear if it hadn`t been already. He`d have to find some way to get in there without tipping anyone off. And larceny was completely out of the question. But he tabled that question for now because he was going to make as much out of his Mage Sight and access to this room as he could. After all, it had already yielded so much and perhaps he could coax even more out of his surroundings.
So he then turned his metaphysical gaze fully and exclusively on the urn once he was done with the door. His hackles went up immediately after relatively clear reading this time. Then again, he had given the urn his all after he`d grasped at straws with the door and other room. Bane? The feeling was simple and yet unsettling and unshakeable, but that was the resonance he could see emanating from the urn and swirling around it like a cloud of smoke and metallic threads, shimmering with simmering intimidation.
Was this urn and the fate surrounding it `merely` the cause of distress or annoyance, or perhaps the cause of death, perhaps even by, itself? Or both?
he thought, pondering the meaning of Fate and not quite knowing what to make of the intimidating resonance of the urn.
Is it possible for Philip, in the situation he finds himself in, to have a feeling of or somehow know a clarified meaning of the resonance of `bane` in this context? Like if this term refers here to something (the urn here possibly) which causes death, as the first potential meaning of the term. Or as in something (as in again the urn presumably), being of great distress and annoyance, as the second possible meaning of this term, or both, or something else entirely?
Deeply perplexed by the urn and the whole room, he took a few minutes to reflect all he had discovered, duly writing the things down he`d discovered on his phone in the designated file. Once he was done, he ended his mage sight while turned away from anything where someone might see him from.
Perhaps I can get someone else to let me into that room though? he thought optimistically. For that, and a re-entry into the basement he`d have to get someone else, or re-enter the mortuary at a different time.
