Black-Hole Goblins Orbiting static

Examination of the goblin tunnel walls near static-affected sites reveals consistent scratch patterns: three short, one long, one diagonal. The goblin equivalent of a signature.

Goblin sigil workers report that the sigil for static is structurally unstable: it works exactly once per practitioner and then dissolves into something that looks distressingly like a small cartoon face.
