Historical Chronicles
Skitter is a young wizard with fast hands and quicker feet, acting as a magical magpie. He successfully bypassed Barty's ancient concealment charm in Bridlington because Barty hadn't updated it in a century. Blinded by greed, he mistook the Ever-Brewing Kettle for a generic, expensive glowing artifact. He was tracked down instantly by Barty to a loading bay behind a boarded-up fish-and-chip shop, where his sputtering 'Minor Scorching Dart' provoked Barty into accidentally unleashing a catastrophic Severance Sigil, siphoning the magic out of Skitter completely.
