The End of the Beginning

OK. After the past 24 hours of deliberation, I've finally come to a novel solution. The Tower of Wisdom is basically one third temple exploration, one third acid trip and one third trip to the Underworld. I was always caught between the physical and the spiritual. Clearly Ormenos used this place to get a Glyph but it seems like he also used it to become immortal and perhaps regain his Glyph abilities. A mental change and a spiritual change. Also, there needs to be something ViraVan was there for. So how to get all in one thing? It seemed an alchemical approach was the right way to go for mind/body stuff but what about Glyphs and the mental space? So I've decided there will be three parts to the Tower of Wisdom:

The physical: Two chambers where physical things are encountered. They also lead to other two experiences.

"Augmented" physical: 3-5 chambers where you walk around in the physical world tripped out, seeing things with a shattered mind. You can get a Glyph out of this (Corruption/Purification/Discipline/Awareness).

The mental: The player can sacrifice their body and become a Vanquished (robot body). This is what Ormenos did. However, the process throws you into the Graylands and splits up your Glyphs and souls. Here you will encounter Ormenos. If you are not prepared (Glyph of Awareness), he will take over your body and the game will end. This will be the fulfillment of the idea that the minds within you are dangerous.
