Mages vs mages

Yesterday while entering the kitchen for supper, I had a flashback: A sunrise, I'm in the field when an UFO descends onto the grass.

Last night I had a dream of a video game about mages vs. mages during the medieval times. There was a fortified town with a castle. Somewhere in the castle, there was a room with some sort of a cube (looked like a crystal), which we had to obtain. The cube was protected by other genius wizards. The game was all about outwitting other players by inventing advanced constructs and using them in inventive ways. -- the dream seems very similar to the Gaia comics.

The three of us had planned the attack to details. The plan was to infiltrate the castle to somehow get past a few shields and security installations. Once inside, we spread out to perform our individual tasks until some specific time when we would meet again. So far everything had gone as planned. I was waiting, the other two mages arrived. However, the master mage defending the castle had somehow exposed us and sent a bunch of mages to imprison us.

We had not anticipated this scenario and thus, my preparations for stealing the cube were pretty much useless. Had to improvise real quick. Considered the freedom of the three of us a higher priority than the cube. Teleported the three of us to a safe room somewhere far enough. Then thought what I could still do with the preparations that I had done for stealing the cube.

The crystal cube was in a room where the temperature distribution of the room was being monitored. I had managed to prepare a few shields around the cube and got the idea to remotely try to create a portal between the cube and the floor (between the two surfaces, there didn't seem to be any alarm mechanisms). Managed to create a point of hi-density psi between the two surfaces and started to stretch it to the extents of the cube .. remotely (just by visualizing the room, the objects and spells). Teleported the cube, the other 2 mages were very impressed, however, the dream had become very faint already.
