Thea reprograms a mystical artifact to orchestrate her betrayer's self-destruction.
The bond between Thea and Delilah shatters when Delilah exploits a mystical swap system to frame the genius mage and engineer her death. Death proves only a pause; Thea returns, reborn and calculating. She silently rewrites the artifact's binding, shifting its target to Delilah herself. From the shadows, Thea then eggs Delilah on, tempting her into ever more reckless activations. Each misuse tightens the magical noose, forcing the architect of the murder to dismantle her own life piece by piece while Thea watches the trap close.
