The Reclamation Zone
The ultimate threat where stalled worlds dissolve into raw mana due to failing benchmarks.
The Reclamation Zone represents the System's most terrifying enforcement mechanism: a conceptual or physical area where regions are dissolved back into raw mana for failing specific benchmarks. In Book 8, 'The Wipe,' this abstract danger became horrifyingly concrete as an entire region was wiped in view, resulting in major deaths and fracturing the Maker band.
