At least there was some good news from the Unspeakables. Supposedly they were close to having a counter to the anti-magic devices, one that would allow one to cast spells through the suffocating effects of the devices. There would be downsides as spells in flight should still be affected, but for some spells it was worthwhile. Within the coming days, I will be having new hires for the Unspeakables and would be able to see their progress.
