The floor is an unmarked, solid gold platform, about 50' square. Anyone who steps on the platform feels a tingle ripple through his or her body. If the character remains on the platform for two rounds, a Constitution check must be made. If it fails, the victim loses 1d4 points of damage. If he or she remains on the platform for an additional two rounds, a second Constitution check is made, and the character loses another 1d4 points if it fails.

The platform is a learning aid used by the dragons to temporarily enhance their comprehension by tapping into the collective consciousness of the spirits of dead scholars. If a PC remains on the platform for the full four rounds, make an Intelligence check. If it succeeds, his or her Intelligence and Wisdom check penalty for comprehending draconian art is -9 (rather than -12) for the next 1d6 hours.
