-3. The Stained's rising political power vs. the vacuum left by the Conclave.
+- The Great Integration: ONGOING -- The New Weave is bleeding into the physical world, making magic collaborative rather than extractive.
+- Power Redistribution: EMERGING -- A political vacuum exists between the failing Conclave and the rising influence of the Stained.
