So Close...

The grand chamber of the Nether Cult's island base was alight with immense energy, the air thick with power as the twelve members of the Cult stood in a perfect circle. At the center of their gathering, the 21 Arcanas they had painstakingly collected floated in a mesmerizing dance of light and shadow, their combined energy pulsing in synchronized waves.

The Cult Leader, draped in dark robes that shimmered with ominous runes, raised his hands, his voice echoing with authority.

"Brothers and sisters, the time has come," he declared. "With the merging of the Arcanas, we shall create [The World], the ultimate Arcana, and fulfill our vision!"

The chamber reverberated with a collective hum of agreement as the merging ritual began.
