Here are the results of the research request on the flaming pool.
- It's almost certainly a mostly one-way gate from the Realm of Fire, one of the elemental worlds.
- It matches the description of other one-way gates from such places in all of the important particulars - ever-burning oil, supernaturally hot flames.
- such gates are two-way only for beings of fire, but might be the outflow from a normal gate in the Realm of Fire - in other words, it might be an exit even if you can't use it as an entrance.
- the "hemisphere" that Hannari briefly fondled - the sage insisted on the word choice "fondled" - is likely part or all of some kind of salamander or flame beast akin to flame lords. It almost certainly pulled back when it encountered something it couldn't burn.
- Whatever Hannari fondled, it will be aware of your existence now. Be careful around the gate as fire creatures could come through.
- It's possible other pools in the room are the same. Although it's also possible that they are not. But one-way exit gates are more likely than two-way gates.
And that's all.
