The primary benefit of exploring the main floor prior to restoring the power would be additional XP from the two still-active Arcane Cannons, and getting access to [[Mystra's Grace]] earlier. The latter can provide the party an additional casting of [[Feather Fall]] which can help them avoid some damage trying to access the 1st floor. As the elevator inside is inactive, they will ultimately need to still find an alternative way to the lower levels.

Opening the Main Door requires succeeding on a [[Difficulty Class]] 15 [[Sleight of Hand]] [[Skill Check|Check]]. Alternatively, the main door can also be broken down - it has {{SmIconLink|Medium Toughness Condition Icon.webp|Medium Toughness (Condition)|Medium Toughness}} and 36 [[Hit Points]]. Opening this door prior to the restoration of power will lead to a confrontation with two [[Arcane Cannon|Arcane Cannons]]. Once they've been dealt with, you are free to roam and explore the main level of the Arcane Tower.

Approaching the chest with the Sussur Bloom's Anti-Magic aura will also dispel the illusion and show the true loot inside the chest.
