Which makes one wonder whether this was something planned, or a target of opportunity. (And if planned, then why, and what niche it fills, and who brought the location to someone's attention; if opportunistic, then what the opportunity was, and why it was on someone's radar for the opportunity to be seized, and what the precipitating incident was. And, of course, why they felt the opportunity worth taking.)
I am up to my eyeballs on data from Saltash, though I'm certain Mysteries is keeping at least a few cards close to the chest. It's the effect that's driving me mad -- it's unlike anything I've ever seen before. (Coincidentally, Auri has recently given me several books on locational magics, after some of the conversations we've had lately. Useful.) And the fact that whatever it is, it's clearly new, and clearly powerful; there are very, very few wizards who could create such a thing, and I had rather thought they were all working for us or no longer a going concern. Troublesome.
