"I'd like to start right away, but the circumstances simply don't allow it. What can I do?"
The Earth Transformation Project was an idea Bell had conceived when he first began building Dalaran.
At present, the primary factor limiting the development of the Magical World was the number of wizards. Since wizards had far lower fertility rates than Muggles, solving this problem meant finding a solution through Muggles.
Research showed that when pregnant women spent long periods in environments rich in Magic Power, the likelihood of their children awakening as wizards rose significantly.
This was also why Pure-blood Wizarding Families had a relatively much lower chance of producing Squib descendants. The ancestral homes of Pure-blood Families were generally enveloped in powerful magical barriers, and the Magic Power concentration inside was usually many times greater than outside.
Therefore, in order to further increase the number of wizards born into Muggle families, Bell planned to use Dalaran's core to convert large amounts of Magic Power and disperse it across the ground beneath the city, thereby slowly raising the concentration of Magic Power in Earth's atmosphere.
Not only would this solve the shortage of wizards, but once the odds of Muggle-born descendants awakening as wizards greatly increased, it would presumably also ease the increasingly sharp conflict between wizards and Muggles.
Even if they could not wield magical power themselves, they could at least place their hopes on the next generation.
Otherwise, driven by jealousy, it was hard to say how long the current peace and prosperity could last. Perhaps within just a few years, as conflicts between wizards and Muggles grew increasingly frequent, war might break out between them once again. And in the end, wizards would have no choice but to hide themselves away once more.
For wizards, this was a war
