EXPLAINED: Yellow Apartments SP Drain

[Etain]

I'm curious if this is intentional. In the Yellow Ajah wing, when exiting the clan storage room while embraced, there's a spell point drain.

In the Yellow Apartment
A soft basket of woven rushes lies beside a plush armchair, spilling
finely-spun yarn onto the seamless stone of the floor. A small human skull
occupies the center of a delicately-carved wall bracket, a faded miniature
portrait hanging immediately above. Through a curtain of strung wooden
beads lies a bedchamber, with plain, serviceable linens in evidence.

A Long, Portrait-Lined Hallway
An Ogier artisan's carved frieze of fine cedar leaves, flowers and cones
rests just underneath the curvature of the arched ceiling. Livening up the
pale white stone walls are a number of large, colorful portraits, each an
image of an Amyrlin which was raised from the Yellow Ajah. Faceted gilded
stand lamps, polished to a sparkling shine line the hallway. A large plaque
gleams in their light, as a reminded to newer Sisters to control the
ambitions that often run wild with talented Healers.

Likely a repeat of a room from the old Tower. Next time you're in the room, try "look rune." We have something similar, Elysia told me there was nothing she could do.

There are actually several places, in a couple aja quarters, that do that.

[Aureus]

This happens in all the Ajah chest rooms, due to a prior incarnation of the Tower where the chests were located behind "wardings" (ie, locked doors) that required embracing to walk through the "ward", and had an SP cost attached.

This version of the clan chests was revamped along with the rest of the Tower, but the coding remains attached to the chest rooms and unfortunately there is no easy way to remove it right now.

So consider it an odd quirk. (Fun fact: if you're embraced, you can walk through the closed door to exit. The reverse sadly does not apply.)
