Created during 3rd-century druidic rituals attempting to commune with water deities, the Conduit became trapped between dimensions when its creators mysteriously vanished. Dr. Blackwood rediscovered its dormant form etched into a submerged standing stone near Urquhart Castle and reactivated it using experimental sonic frequencies.

Constantly phases between corporeal and spectral states, its eel-skin surface displaying glowing Ogham runes that rewrite themselves with cryptid migration patterns. Emits subsonic vibrations that disrupt technology and induce trance states in nearby humans, enabling direct neural interface with aquatic cryptids.

Forces temporary psychic links between Seekers and cryptid consciousnesses, extracting hidden knowledge about Nessie's origins while inadvertently alerting ancient entities to human interference in the loch's mysteries.
