SOLAR FLARE: The Magical Blackout
A flare is defined as a sudden, rapid, and intense variation in brightness. A solar flare occurs when magnetic energy that has built up in the solar atmosphere is suddenly released. Radiation is emitted across virtually the entire electromagnetic spectrum, from radio waves at the long wavelength end, through optical emission to x-rays and gamma rays at the short wavelength end. The amount of energy released is the equivalent of millions of 100-megaton hydrogen bombs exploding at the same time.
The change is slow and gradual, affecting the United Kingdom as the flare grows. The first moment will affect the body, a sudden shock to the system as the magic pauses and disappears. Then, all charms and wards will slowly lose their power, all protective spells will cease and the magical world will lose its secrecy. It will bring sheer chaos.
