• Annie Saru reported that two Bloody Marys had joined forces, devoured dark magical creatures, and destroyed most of the Corporeal Patronuses, while Demontclair reported that his Ritual Magic Array was destabilizing.
• Wizet concluded that the Isaiah Society had ordered the Bloody Marys in multiple areas to accelerate and combine their strength to disrupt the arrays, but that the society had only recently discovered this tactic.

• Wizet Apparated to Annie Saru’s group by sensing their Corporeal Patronuses, transformed into an Obscurus, and flew after the fleeing Bloody Marys.

He joined Selina Pendragon and Luna, confirmed that Luna’s strengthened ritual magic array needed no adjustments, and prepared to coordinate their next move.

• Selina Pendragon left to find Omi, and the others Disapparated to seek people skilled in material processing.
• Annie Saru stayed with Wizet and offered to help make the containers.

Wizet explained how Bloody Mary could retrieve parasitic dark magic creatures and reasoned that containers made with dementor filament could protect them from it. After his allies completed the new containers, Selina Pendragon reported that the Isaiah Society was gathering the Bloody Marys in the city center, but Ominis Gaunt said they had finished the containers first.

• Luna's kite-flying comparison helped Wizet clarify how the Ritual Magic Arrays restrained dark magic creatures while Bloody Mary retrieved them.
• Wizet concluded that Annie Saru's containers had shattered because their host-derived materials left them vulnerable, while dementor-filament containers could absorb the creatures and resist Bloody Mary's influence.

• Selina Pendragon suggested Wizet try the diadem, while Luna described it as a spider crouching on a web.
• Wizet used Magic Eye and the Soul Stone monocle to inspect the diadem and found its Magic Circuit resembled a vastly more complex Marauder's Map.

• Wizet inferred that the diadem's consensus might make it work best when worn on his head.
