Step ahead and you'll face a new foe. If you completed the Under Observation Quest before coming here, Maura will already be dead. But she'll emerge under the control of the spore colony that has infested the sanctum, and attack you. *NOTE* However, you can avoid a fight with Maura if you reached a peaceful resolution with the Giant Luminescent Spore in the Quarantined Section. Avoid dialogue options that provoke Maura into a fight, and then make either a Diplomacy check of 17 or a Metaphysics check of 15 when both become available.
If you came here without having completed the Under Observation Quest, you'll witness an argument between Maura and a masked Wizard named Fyonlecg. Fyonlecg will kill Maura and then attack you.
Either Fyonlecg or Maura will retreat to near the door at 8, and summon a couple of Soul Mirrors. Several Enchanted Armors will be waiting for you at points marked #3.
The machine at #2 (which looks rather like the Gravity Core from the horror called "Event Horizon") will periodically fire beams of energy, as shown in the screenshot. They can do tremendous damage. But they only fire at fixed angles. In fact, you can keep yourself completely safe from the beams by huddling near either of the points at #3 but either straight left or straight right from the machine. The beams won't fire at straight left or straight right angles. So you can fight the Enchanted Armors without worry at either of those blind spots.
The next step is to take out the Power Conduits at points marked #4. Missile weapons will work. Taking both of them out renders the machine inoperable, and it won't be able to fire beams anymore.
But that also means either Fyonlecg or Maura will arrive to attack you, along with their Soul Mirrors. But the hard part will be over and done with, and you can use Interrupts or anything else you have to disrupt their spellcasting.
If it was Fyonlecg you killed, you can examine his body during a scripted interaction. You can take The Mask of the Weyc from his corpse. Only his body gets revealed to be a clone composed of worms, like as a Worm That Walks. If it was Maura, you'll run into Fyonlecg at a later time and get the Mask then. And Maura will leave behind Maura's Grasping Belt.
Several Enchanted Armors will be waiting to attack at these points.
You must take out the Power Conduits at these points to disable the machine at #2.
