Britannia Dungeons - Prism of Light
At the northeastern tip of the Island of Nujel'm, some ladders are leading down to the Prism of Light. In order to enter the dungeon you must first purchase an admission ticket for 10.000 gold pieces from a ticket seller standing near the entrance. The ticket will teleport you out of the dungeon if you use it, which might come in handy if you get into too much trouble. The ticket is limited to 12 hours. During that time, you can always re-enter the Prism of Light dungeon.

The Prism of Light is an amazing gem mine underneath the city of Nujel'm. Unfortunately the miners have dug a bit too deep and uncovered and ancient evil called the Shimmering Effusion. The effusion is protected by a large number of crystalline creatures, who guard the keys to the inner chamber. If you want to visit the Shimmering Effusion, you first have to gather the keys. You can proceed down into the dungeon, but not back up again. Only the Mummy Room can be left again through a white moongate.
In order to proceed downward from the Crystal Room, you have to walk into the middle of the crystal field, which can be a little tricky. Because when you walk the wrong path, you will be teleported out of the field and have to try again.
Should you die in that dungeon, you can get resurrected by a healer who resides at a small camp by the beach area. At the beach area, you will also find an Arcane Circle - the only place in Sosoria, where six Arcanists can acquire a level 6 Arcane Focus. Down by the Ice River, very dangerous Hydras are dwelling. They are the most dangerous creatures in the dungeon. The intense radiating cold of the river will reveal anyone who tries to stealth through this cave. Good cold protection is recommended if you decide to challenge the creatures down here.
To engage the horrifying Shimmering Effusion, you have to gather six crystal keys from each of those monsters: Crystal Daemon, Crystal Lattice Seeker, Crystal Vortex, Unfrozen Mummy, Crystal Sea Serpent, and Crystal Hydra. In the Mummy Chamber you will find six pillars. Putting the six keys in those pillars will give you access to the lowest level of the Prism of Light. The keys have a timer, so they will vanish after some time.
