Their quiet moment is interrupted when a radiant blue light begins to glow inside Jace's chest.

The blinding orb of light rises into the air, revealing itself to be his planeswalker spark. Before anyone can stop it, the surging brilliant light shoots out through an open window, leaving the grieving planeswalkers baffled and alarmed.

An Unexpected Power Surge

Down below in the chaotic crowds, Tam struggles to find a way to stop the reality overlay. The stray spark homes in on her trajectory and strikes her directly in the chest. Instead of destroying her, the immense surge of magical energy floods her body and drastically enhances her natural abilities.

With her newfound telepathic range expanding across dimensions, Tam realizes she has the power to contact a cosmic force capable of fixing the Multiverse. She casts her mind deep into the vast dark reaches of space and time until she connects with Innistrad.

The Devouring of the Echoverse

Tam reaches out mentally to Emrakul, the Promised End, who remains trapped within Innistrad's moon. Tam invites the Eldrazi Titan to feast upon the unnatural, duplicated Echoverse that is threatening to overwrite the true Multiverse. Intrigued and hungry, Emrakul accepts the invitation and manifests in the sky.

The colossal Eldrazi begins consuming the false reality. Across various planes, duplicate realms turn transparent and vanish into the Titan's boundless maw, unweaving the overlap and safely restoring the true planes of existence.

A New Path Forward

As Hexhaven and Strixhaven begin to separate, Tam reconnects with her student companions at the Folioplex. She apologizes for the chaos caused by her former creator and promises to guide everyone safely back to their original home through the mage-rings before the mirrored world completely dissolves.

Meanwhile, in the crumbling sanctum, Liliana and the remaining planeswalkers find themselves locked in a desperate battle against their own icy and aggressive doppelgängers. Despite the ongoing combat, the impending dimensional collapse is successfully halted as the false Multiverse fades away.
