For a wizard, it might have posed a problem but he was a sorcerer who was naturally proficient at arrays. Some minutes later, he found the eye of the array and launched a ball of magic energy towards the small array eye. After he spewed out blood from a backlash, the array crashed and he quickly flew in but he felt a pressure that sent him crashing to the ground. Gritting his teeth, he rose and tried to run but the pressure on him was even greater, causing him to spit out blood.
He started crawling instead since he found the pressure lessened this way. But he couldn't crawl too fast either. As frustrating as it was to him, he couldn't complain.
30 minutes later, he reached the spot where the platform was and his heart nearly jumped out of his chest.
