Historical Chronicles
Penelope Grimsby represents the pure, mind-numbing power of paperwork. When Barty enters her Leeds sub-office, she attempts to hold him liable for seventeen distinct treaty infractions. She does not use a wand; instead, she directs a pen to manifest swirling blizzards of compliance paperwork to bind her targets. Barty bypasses her trap by casting a paper-shredding charm on her warrants, and introducing a database-corrupting Chaos Curse into her magically extended filing system, burying her in her own administrative debris.
