"Ahh cold, cold..." Merlin's surprise from the situation wore off, and only now did he start focusing on the fact his hands were essentially frozen solid and stinging. "It hurts, why couldn't it be like the time the priestess froze my arm."
A loose thought came to mind which involved shattering his arms and just having them regrow, but the thought of going around without limbs for however long it took to heal was an uncomfortable thought.
Various NPCs seemed to be staring at him from a small distance away, some of which clearly saw the blue flash.
Worried about the state of the ruin, Merlin turned around to gaze at the door frame, only to find that it was still in pristine condition. Fortunately, his mildly chaotic testing methods hadn't caused any visible complications, that he was aware of.
He reached through the door frame with his arms, and just like before, they passed through without any resistance.
