Hello Vallo. I realize I tend to post on the network as an omen of something going awry, and sadly, that continues to be the case: it appears that magic is currently malfunctioning in some capacity. Yesterday, the wards on the Lighthouse were corrupted while I was inside (yes, I am now a month older than I was, no, I do not wish to talk about it), and on top of
that an Outlander's magical experiment ended badly enough that they were injured quite severely. As the Outlander in question is skilled in that experimental area, I urge all of you to take this potential problem seriously. Please check your wards, your charms, your illusions, all manner of security, and report back if there is an issue. I advise you to do this for the next few days.
It may be related to our visiting ball friends (a phrase I did not expect to write), or possibly even remnants from the Inheritus challenge of last month. It might just be mere coincidence. But we all know what letting our guards down entails, so I urge you to practice vigilance and thoughtfulness in the days ahead while we work this problem.
The covens have been notified (thank you, Bonnie) and we will be working with them moving forward in the event that this issue continues.
Thank you.
(This is exactly the sort of thing I'd retreat to the Lighthouse to solve, given its time discrepancy, but... I'm rather sick of that place for the time being.)
