Title: When Someone You Love is a Mage
"It can happen to anyone. You wake up one morning to find your friend; your child; your spouse - has manifested a Demon Wish and is producing Magic.
"It isn't a reflection on your loved one's character, and it certainly isn't a reflection on yours. Possession just happens to some people. No one really knows why. For your loved one, the course was simply chronic rather than terminal."
Heading: What happens now?
"Possession in cases where Magic fails to manifest is 100% fatal.
"Your loved one is alive. And with the right support, not only will they stay that way - they'll thrive.
"Gone are the days when Magic was considered a fate worse than death. Many Mages can be successfully rehabilitated, and go on to live full and productive lives in Alchemical Institutes, such as the Magic Program at Mormount Fortress.
"But you need to act now. Contact Magic Rehabilitation Central Intake at [phone number redacted] or call your local Mage Tipline. Delaying the call could cost lives."
Heading: Life After Magic
"There has never been a better time in history to be a Mage. The science of Demon Crisis rehabilitation is making strides every day. The first-break remission rate is now over 80%. And in the modern day, the rising demand for Talisman-tech has created a wide range of jobs for Mages at Alchemical Institutes.
"However, because Mages with continued contact with the pre-break social environment have a demonstrably higher relapse rate, visitations and excursions are not permitted.
"This is goodbye for you. But for your loved one, it's simply the start of a new chapter."
