Historical Chronicles
The Edict of Harmonious Coexistence is the foundation of modern magical law, demanding discretion and separation from the mundane world. It is heavily monitored by Consortium officials. Archivist Thorne viewed the Edict as outdated, weak, and inefficient. By forcing Barty to trigger a Severance Sigil, Thorne planned to expose the cracks and systemic weaknesses of the Edict, forcing the old guard of wizards to collapse and hand him absolute administrative authority.
