    As you continue to assense the area, you begin to get a feel for this magic.  It feels somehow “green”, anchored very deeply to the earth, but with some “flavors” of “light-blue” air woven intricately around the edges.  Understanding.  Someone --- probably quite a *FEW* someones --- is fabricating a seriously defensive field.  Its foundation feels as sturdy as the bedrock itself, yet it isn't somehow stifling you with its implacable consistency.  At times, sparks tasting of “neon red” fire element “peeks” through,as though it is somehow being held back, imprisoned, or somehow being repressed/controlled.  The interplay is at once entrancing - you can't take your astral eyes off it - but at the same time excitingly dangerous, like those precious moments at the beginning of a heavy thunderstorm when the air is supercharged, warm, moist, and conductive of a few choice (but random) strokes of lightning - just before the rains torrent down and the storm ravages the area with its power and might.  The darkness overhead might be a manifestation of something else, something powerful trying to assert itself.  You're not sure what/how you feel about that - but it's heavy, oppressive, and ever-present as far as you can see.

    The fire appears to be the center of all of this - this entire epic struggle(?) of power.  In the shadows of circles the surround the dancing fire, slowly pulsing brightly colorful waves of peace, you see what appear to be 16 shadowy figures, all in a circle around the fire at some weirdly undefinable distance.  They appear to be entertwined in an immaculate weave of power, magical energies that ebb and flow between them, obviously connected to the “tastes” and “colors” of the magic surrounding you.  As you become more attuned to the nuances around you, you note that there are two very different powers being woven here, almost in opposition to one another.  Yet the darkened forms do not openly attack each other (or anyone else), silently they simply maintain the awesome balance of forces that you witness on exhibition here, forces of nature in full collision, each holding the other in check.  The enormity of it terrifies you as much as it becalms you, and deep inside you find yourself conflicted, witnessing this.  Sensing all of that mojo out there, it makes you feel infinitely small, delicate.  Both comforting and awe-inspiring at the same time, all but paralyzing you with the heinous monstrosity of it all.  It is simply that incredible.  And it's also simply that beautiful to behold.  Truly awesome...
