When Lynch's energy light ball touched the stone wall, it was like placing a scorching red coal on snow, with a clear effect. The melting stone hissed and reluctantly moved away from the position of the guardian. The mage, enduring the heat and the pungent smell, slowly moved his left hand, expanding a passageway taller than a person on the wall.
"That should do it," the mage said as he dismissed the spells around him, leading the way into the mountain wall. Zilvra and Morgan followed excitedly. After a while, Lynch turned around and used an illusion technique to disguise the area back to its original appearance. As long as the snake-men didn't try to excavate this stone wall, they would never discover the new passage.
