Is the Ley Line in Merc Town harnessed by an Atlantean Stone Pyramid or are its benefits of P.P.E. and boost to magic and psychic abilities blanketed across the city?

Asking to determine if the group psychic and spell caster gets the energy reserve and boosts.

So, a party can use the LL energies, but tick off Cearcy with shenanigans and he'll shut them down.

Grazzik, impressive memory and eye for detail.

I miss things.

Also, I didn't know stone pyramids worked that way. An on and off switch for the benefits of the Nexus/ley line.

Does the stone pyramid actually look like a stone pyramid from the outside? Like a big pyramid or is it covred by another kind of building. Asking so I can describe it to players. Come to think of it, I'm impatient and should ask my friend for his book.

Does the pyramid also supply electrical power or work as a dimensional gateway?
