I encountered something quite strange recently.

[Trahearne's normally calm tone has a stressed edge to it. This seems to be bothering him more than the otherwise measured voice post might let on.]

Has anyone else noticed spots of magical activity? Ones dealing with negative energy in particular. Those I observed seemed to have mild effects, such as floating lights or inexplicable patches of dead grass. I found it curious enough to spend some time investigating one of these areas.

The effects were quite interesting. It felt much like my necromantic magic was given a boost of energy. It was easier, and faster, to cast spells. [Here, he pauses before continuing,] The problem came when my summoned minions stopped responding to my commands. I destroyed them once I realized what was happening, but I am concerned by that fact that it happened at all.

I'm going to ask at the Aisling Tower about this phenomenon, but in the meantime, I would advise other spellcasters to avoid using their skills near any areas of strange activity.


[OOC: This is specifically dealing with this month's Metaphysics 5 activity in case you're wondering!]

[Judai hasn't been experiencing anything like it himself, but...]

You summon minions, you said? And they're not reacting to you all of a sudden?

[Valdis still can't see, so she's been mostly ignoring the network, but Trahearne's announcement leaves her blood running cold and she can't help but respond.]

Have you noticed any areas where this is more common?

[If there were any specific places she should avoid, it was important to know. She couldn't afford to lose control of her magic at any time, much less now.]

I found a foot under my bed, if that qualifies.

[pause; that probably sounds more like a crime scene than a bit of magical oddity.]

um. A skeletal one. ...it's apparently happened to some other folks, too.

[he didn't murder anyone, no one call the Sentry ok.]
