While there is no concrete proof of Abseark's involvement, activating the Magi requires a specific type of "water," making a connection highly likely. The "Rings" resemble small inner tubes. Whether they are terminals used to drive the device, or the device itself, remains unknown for now.

Why you were locked away in this illusion remains a mystery. Within the device’s field of influence, the boundary between reality and unreality ceases to matter.As Nietzsche once suggested, perhaps facts never existed to begin with.Is everything merely a re-illusion of an illusion?[ Prologue: The Setup ]Running on a few days of sleep deprivation, it looks like you accidentally dozed off.
