The story so far: Wendell is a PhD student working on a thesis about the history of magic. Hunting for second hand magic books, he finds and buys a mysterious old box. On the lid are four symbols: a star, a sun, a crescent moon and a ringed planet. He uses the star symbol to open the box and finds himself in the year 1900, in an old house called Mosaic Keep.

He finds the missing piece of the planet symbol and uses this to return to his own time, where he is confronted by a demon who demands the box. Just in time, Wendell uses the box to escape to Mosaic Keep.

At the request of the spirits of Mosiac Keep, Wendell finds his way to the inmost room. Here two spirits join him.
