Hello Grandmother,

Magic is duplicitous. It’s dangerous. And it’s very often deadly. You’re a vampire who names themselves after history and fictions most famous magicians, you’d better be able to play with fire.

Faustina Magnus is leading the prosecution in the trial for Kelly Burke’s continued existence, and while she hasn’t even begun to make her case, from leaked highlights of her opening statement, it seems like she’s preparing to make the case that Burke is as skillful a mystic genius as herself.

The likely points Faustina will be making are these:

- That, through cult contacts and Lucifer’s library, Burke had access to ancient magical texts that could cast the kinds of spells needed to kill Jakob Lawrence from afar.

- That motivation is unnecessary because the group’s intentions are chaotic and designed solely to hamper the ministries smooth operations.

- That any conflicting evidence was created by the vast and undefined cult to concoct an alternate suspect.

With this strategy, the Ministries are hoping to peg an unsolved crime on a nemesis that they’re tired of dealing with. And we’re all in the more danger because the real killer is still out there.
