"Don't worry, we're all allies here," Sofia said to Marion. "I can place them into a pocket of Limbo to be retrieved later, if you like." Better than just leaving them laying about.

In the meantime, though, Sofia looked up at the sun. Okay. Total eclipse of the city.

She could do this, right?

She closed her eyes and concentrated, a stream of eldritch words coming to mind as she called up the proper darkness spell. Something to block out the sun's rays for an entire city.

It took Sofia a very long, silent moment in which she felt her great-uncle rumbling power nearby.

But there it was...a swirling darkness over the sun, and a gradual darkening of the sky.

Faux nighttime had been achieved, and Sofia was a little bit weaker for it.

Thank god she had backup.
