Unfinished Portalrender

A half-built portalrender that never learned to open a way elsewhere — instead it pulses with concentrated agony, broadcasting raw suffering at anyone who comes near.

Disable DC 37 Thievery (master) to dismantle the housing and refocus the agony inward so it consumes itself harmlessly, DC 33 Arcana or Occultism (master) to vent the agony in a controlled way that causes the portalrender to become inert after 1 minute (during which it can still be triggered normally), or dispel magic (7th level; counteract DC 31).
