Historical Chronicles
The Unseen Hand represents the elite, stealth-based enforcement of the magical underworld. They work with precision, leaving minimal disturbances. However, their reliance on delicate sound-absorption magic makes them highly vulnerable to sudden, unexpected percussive noises. Barty exploits this by triggering municipal fire alarms and dropping resonant buttons, transforming their quiet operations into loud, embarrassing civic failures.
