Regulation 101: The Sovereign’s Resonance Prerogative Under the Royal Charter of 1602, the Crown remains the ultimate proprietor of all British Aether. The Institute (Ministry of Arcane Security (Ministry of Arcane Security MAS)) acts as the Crown’s Bailiff. In the event of a total ‘Grid-Collapse,’ all magical authority reverts to the Sovereign, bypassing Ministry oversight.
Alistair’s Translation: The ‘Break Glass in Case of Revolution’ clause. It means that if the Ministry loses its way, the King can theoretically fire the lot of them. It’s the only reason the The Department of Magical Crimes (The Department of Magical Crimes (DMC)) still exists; we’re the King’s back-pocket insurance policy against his own bureaucrats.
