From what i saw when i played through this game that large device in the middle of the room is actually a VERY large transformer. Its magnetic field could also be used as one of the two magnetic poles, though considering its AC that might be difficult, more likely the 5 large stone pillars you stand on are the actual magnet housings. The large springs around the room were shock absorbers so the thing do sent tear itself apart when it lands. Also i dont see anything resembling a solenoid...lol
@sparton1199 Myst Island was where Sirrus and Achenar lived. When Atrus set up the Lesson Age course, he provided linking books on J'nanin that led back to Myst, allowing the brothers to return whenever they wished.
So when Saavedro followed them to J'nanin, the brothers burned these books so that he could follow them no further. They probably got back to Myst themselves by holding the last book over the fire while linking through, causing the book to fall on the fire and burn as well.
@sparton1199 Yes. Those books used to lead to other worlds that Atrus wrote. Narayan was the first world that Sirrus and Achenar wrecked, then they became more brutal and reckless as they spread their destruction to the other worlds.
You did a great job explaining what was really going on once you solved that puzzle. Thanks for pointing out the different details of the room. It makes me like the game more. When I originally played the game, I didn't notice a lot of these things and just thought Presto Studios was using poorly planned or illogical puzzles, which is a major critique of most adventure games. Glad to see it wasn't entirely so.
@msampson3d I think Presto put a ton of logical thought into this entire game, for the most part. That's more than I can say for Ubisoft when they did Myst IV.
Heh I know what a solenoid is, but since you know I don't need to say, but I know they use them in old tornado/air-raid sirens for fire calls, I know that since I'm a siren enthusiast :P
@fleetwoodsucks You mean like Part X of Y? Yeah. The series recently became long enough so that it takes me just over three minutes in total to update them.

I'm not sure what is more amazing. The amount of thought the MYST guys put into the puzzles of this game or the fact that you noticed them.

@RuRuRuRufus Exactly; it's epic either way.
