Magic Surge Accident of 885

From Dragonsphere Wiki, a Drakengard & NieR project

A Magic Surge Accident (Japanese: 魔力暴走事故, Hepburn: Maryokubōsō jiko) occurred in 885 AD. This was the first recorded accident of this nature. Two more accidents would follow: the Magic Surge Accident of 912 AD and the Magic Surge Accident of 995 AD.

History

Official account

Due to a wizard's out of control magic, a third of the Cathedral City vanished. The Church announced that this was suppressed only due to their research into sealing magic.[1][1.1]

The truth

In truth, it was a sealing magic experiment that failed, resulting in the wizard's body enlarging until he was only a giant foot. The foot proceeded to trample the city's slums, killing 2000 people in a single night. The official announcement by the Church was as above.[1.1]
