Within the Chaos World, Eighth Order beings were almost becoming commonplace.

That was precisely why they were being targeted. You produced so many Eighth Order beings—if you were not targeted, then who would be?

Unlike the Chaos World's overt growth, the Mage World was also growing stronger on the surface, but what appeared in greater numbers were Sixth Order mages.
