Chapter 15 - Chapter 15: The Artifact, The Calculated Risk

Isobel identified a powerful artifact within the hidden vault – an ancient amulet that resonated with the energy of magical nexus points. She warned of its immense power and the danger it could pose if it fell into the wrong hands.

Michael felt a strange pull towards the amulet, a deep resonance with the island's magic within him. He knew instinctively that it could amplify his abilities, but he also sensed its potential for corruption.

Oliver was wary. "That thing feels… dangerous, Michael. We should lock it away."

Isobel agreed. "Its power is not to be trifled with."

Michael, however, saw an opportunity. He proposed using the amulet, under carefully controlled circumstances, to learn more about other nexus points and potential threats. It was a calculated risk, one he kept largely to himself, knowing he could potentially harness the amulet's power while keeping its true capabilities concealed from Oliver and Isobel. His cunning involved a willingness to take calculated risks for long-term gain, always maintaining a strategic advantage.
