Baby Born Without Magic
Yesterday morning the first child without any kind of magic was born in New Meridian.
The little boy, Tristan Barrcan was birthed at 4:15 am to mother, Ruby and father, Ormond. They are the first couple affected by the Blanket Plague to have a child after losing their magical abilities. It was uncertain whether or not their child would be affected as well, since the passing of magic from one generation to the next has not been well documented.
Tristan was observed for several hours at the New Meridian Clinic where he was born to determine the extent to which his magic may have been affected. It was not announced until early this morning that the child did not have any magic.
"It's simply unthinkable," said nurse Amy Cohan. "Can you even imagine growing up incapable of magic?"
It is still unclear if the Blanket Plague has passed from this generation into the next, or if it is simply the nature of how magic is passed from parent to child. One thing that is certain is that more research into the matter will be required to determine a direct cause.
Tristan will be held at the clinic for several more days to observe if there are any other ill affects.
