As violent energy fluctuations filled heaven and earth, Jon gained the first strand of magic power he could control.
The tremors of the earth grew increasingly intense, yet Jon could feel the smile on "his" face, born of chaos.
Compared to the Papacy's priests, who confined themselves beneath "Holy Magic," wizards adapted far better to chaotic environments and possessed greater mobility within them.
From Jon's perspective, amid the chaos, he stuffed at least a dozen spells through the city's gaps until its defenses were repaired.

Jon used the sole thread of magic power he could command to imprint the casting methods of these spells. Though he could barely remember them, he recorded that sense of familiarity.
With the recovery of magic power, these spells would eventually reappear in the Wizarding world.
During the Middle Ages, the British Isles had been the main battlefield of the Papal Holy War—the War of Rise for wizards. There had been far more wizards then than there were now. At the time, Pure-blood Wizards learned magic through their families rather than schools. The three Magic Schools had first been established to give Muggle-born wizards a place to learn magic, and then to preserve the last sparks of wizardkind.
The Wizarding world placed great importance on the inheritance of magic. Only continuous wars and various environmental constraints had led to the current state of affairs.
Standing beneath the clouds, "Jon" was finally discovered after casting several spells and causing a disturbance within the Holy City.
The Bishop and priests would not leave the city, but their counterattack arrived.
A voice erupted from the city's center. Devout believers sang their praises, and the great god bestowed His grace.
