==Plot Summary==
Kit, Chico, and Barbara are in guild hall with dreariness in the air. Skirmish Killington arrives to report to everyone that Nulisag has fallen ill due to the magical flux occurring. Magic has begun to swing out of control and become unpredictable. Nulisag has ordered the three to seek out the source of the problem. Skirmish hands the party a magical rock that has an anomalous crack that always points in one direction, possibly pointing to the source. He sends the party to Niqamui’s shipyard to meet with an airship captain named Captain Leika who will ferry them wherever the crack points.
After boarding the ship, the party begins to do duties around the ship. While working, a magical storm suddenly appears on the port side of the ship, which tilts it in the opposite direction. After taking control of the ship, the party finds a cat with a magical collar. Assuming it had something to do with the storm, they bring it to the captain. The cat transforms into a blue-skinned, white-haired human woman named Andrea. The party treats her to food and learns about her story. She was a student at a magical school, but didn’t have the capability to perform magic, so she was bullied by her classmates, turning her into the way she appears. She was taken care of by a man named Victor, who lives at the North Pole. As it turns out, the crack points towards the North Pole, and everyone believes it to be the source of magical anomalies.
Once the party arrives at Victor’s home, they are welcomed in with hospitality through speakers and automaton servers. Victor asks them to make their way to his study to discuss a dire situation that threatens the whole world. After overcoming a couple traps and obstacles on the way, they finally meet Victor and his dog Waffles. In the middle of the study is a cylindrical device that is being used to siphon all magic from the world. According to Victor, a cosmic entity has cultivated magic in order to harvest it from those that use it, akin to a farmer planting seeds to grow into crops. He predicts that in a matter of thousands of years, the entity will become strong enough to wipe out all life. The device is pulling magic away from the monster in order to stop it. In order to sway the party to believe him, he convinces them to consume a microbe that lets them understand all languages, as well as allowing them to listen through a Teletrophone, a device that can pick up on conversations anywhere in the world. Using the device, Victor hones in on the monster, constantly saying “hungry” over and over. Through a series of questions and deductions, everyone finds out that the magic siphoning device is overloading and about to blow, to which Victor and Waffles board an escape pod to escape the blast. The party manages to board their ship, transform the ship to a submersible while hovering over Victor’s mountain home, and crush the home, including the device, releasing magic back into the world. After listening into the Teletrophone again, the party hears the monster say “good… more… eat…” and realize that the monster poses a threat to life on Dwares that needs to be addressed. They take the device and their accounts back to Niqamui to properly handle the threat.
