Dead mage hijacks swap system to engineer betrayer's self-destruction.
Genius mage Thea falls victim to Delilah's treachery when a mystical exchange device becomes the instrument of her execution. Death proves a brief interruption; Thea awakens with full recall and immediately tampers with the artifact so its recoil strikes only its current wielder. From the shadows, she nurtures Delilah's appetite for the system's power, coaxing ever more reckless uses. Each activation cinches the trap tighter, letting Thea observe the architect of her murder dismantle herself piece by piece.
