We go into an interlude of sepia toned images, showing the history of spellcraft over time

Panel 1:
A spellcrafting shop. A gentleman pays a spellcrafter for a stack of spellcraft.
Caption: "Arcane Science. A major part of our modern world that has greatly advanced mankind. At the turn of the century, the public clamors for spells!"

Panel 2:
A man drives an old jalopy down the road. A spell slip on the front propels it.
Caption: "Automatic vehicles, lights in our homes, and many other modern conveniences are powered by Arcana in the 1900s."

Panel 3:
Europe, a battlefield. Two soldiers with spellcraft circles carved into their guns head into battle in the trenches. In the distance, a tank covered in spellcraft fires off an explosive shot.
Caption: "But then, the Great War. Devastation sweeps Europe."

Panel 4:
The house of Representatives chamber in Washington DC. Politicians in suits and hats argue, chaos has erupted.
Caption: "Back home, Congress debates. If spellcraft can cause such destruction, can it be safe and moral to continue using?"
