Maitimo wakes up.
The room is littered with forensic conjurations of people and notes and wands and books and planets. In the room is Ms. Chua, and a black-winged demon. Looks too straightforwardly Asian to be naturally occurring.

"I was hoping you could get us in touch with a greenmage fairy who might be willing to help. The wand test should work whether or not the fairy's a wizard though. I can run through our preprints collection, recall the ones that phrase staying inside the circle in a way that allows that..."
"I'll ask our team in Godspring if they can recommend a greenmage fairy. Do you have preprints for ungagged demons?"
Nod. "Because people'll be summoning their relatives back, and they're not going to gag them, and it seems important to have a safe selection of circles..."
"Oh, yeah, definitely. We've got a preliminary relative-retrieval circle recommendation out but we're taking feedback on how that's working for people."
"Sounds good. I will make sure you hear about any new worlds as quickly as we do, and I'll try to find a greenmage fairy volunteer for you as soon as possible."
"I will see if any wizards can be persuaded to surrender their wands for such a test. Thanks so much."
"It's a good idea to do something about the circle trick but it'd also be a good idea to do something about the cult with flamethrowers."
They don't need a specific person's wand, right, just a wand, Karen can make one with a Potion-quality unicorn hair and a conjured wood bit.
Trevor sets about testing.
Bindings cannot hedge out wands from random summonses. They can prohibit greenmagery.
Awwwww, but he was having so much fun.
(He takes more summons before everyone improves their bindings accordingly.)
