Lightning crackles from rampart to rampart of a wizard's tower.
The bricks have turned to crystal and are frozen in time, but they still feel warm from the blast.
The sun glints off a partially drawn protective circle.
A rivulet of ichor runs uphill for reasons no one can explain.
This scene shows the aftermath of a magical disaster that no one expected or understands.

Where others see only danger or tragedy, the Bureau of Magical Catastrophes sees questions waiting to be answered.

In Bureau of Magical Catastrophes, you play scholars, historians, and arcane scientists called to study these extraordinary events.

Your job is not to punish or control anyone. Instead, you observe, take notes, and try to understand what happened by investigating, talking to people, and running experiments. You'll discover the odd forces behind the disaster and figure out how magic fails.

This roleplaying game is all about discovery. Each event is a puzzle, and every answer leads to more questions. Every new finding brings excitement and danger in a world where magic can rewrite reality overnight.
