    Disaster / Destruction

    (525)
    The Custos spontaneously combust due to years of having their magic harvested and from experiments being done to figure out how to give humans magic. To keep the world in tact, they transfer their power to seven different people- those people become known as the Guardians of the Reborn Magic World. The explosion causes magic to be re-released into the world after hundreds of years of the humans being in power and acts as a sort of nuclear meltdown, destroying the entire world aside from those in protective Metropoli. All humans outside the safe zones were reinfected with magic, bringing back the Etherian races.
    After the explosion, humans agree that the Custos were trying to kill them with the explosion and that magic is evil, and should not be in the hands of common civilians, just in the hands of high-up government officials and their current leader.
