The event ignited widespread fear of magic, leading to ruthless persecution in some parts of the world, and promotion in others, such as Kingdom of Denid. Today, even in the Denid magic is feared and misunderstood, but is not forbidden by law, quite the countrary - magic is encouraged and there is a huge magic academy for those who had obtained the new power.
