"After numerous attempts – many involving a safe way to activate it without all our instruments failing – we determine how the device was able to stay active for so long."

Suffocating the area in a cloud of magic that restricts our connection to our magical core and disrupts enchanted items beyond wands." Interesting, none of my enchanted items have been affected.
