Historical Chronicles
The Severance Sigil is a rare and highly forbidden magical event. When Barty over-channels his stasis spell against Skitter, he accidentally manifests this Sigil. For a second, colors bleed into stark black and white, and all municipal sound is swallowed by a void. Skitter is instantly magicked-out, but the sigil's feedback vibrates through the quill of a clerk in London, blinds a Warden beneath Edinburgh Castle, and drops a dagger in Paris, revealing Barty's active status to the world.
