Mogamett then reveals that after using their magic to gain the favor of most of the population, the magicians led by him incited a revolt that led to the downfall of the Musta’sim royalty and the establishment of Magnostadt. Impressed with Mogamett’s speech, the students start opening up to his views except for Aladdin and Titus. Some time later, Mogamett asks Titus to take him to Marga in the 5th district where he allows the girl to live with him at the surface. Aladdin accompanies them as well and realizes that Mogamett does not view the non-magicians as humans anymore and fears that it will eventually lead everyone to ruin. Marga is then examined and Mogamett reveals that while she can’t be cured of her condition, her life can be saved, much to Titus’ relief. Meanwhile, Aladdin has classes with High Magician Irene Smirnoff, who displays her experiments with Black Rukh and confirms his suspicions that Magnostadt is somehow connected to Al-Thamen. Back at his home, Titus is informed by Sheherazade that his mission is accomplished and is ordered to return home, but he turns to Mogamett for help instead, as just like Marga, he does not have much time left to live.
