After murdering Nebula, Qibli couldn't be a normal member of society anymore. She had to run away to live a life at large.
Pocket dimension
She rested herself in a pocket dimension she created, where there's a treehouse she lives in, and the outside terrain can shift to her liking. In the pocket dimension, and flows normally; and because she will physically enter her pocket dimension, she cannot connect to the internet. Contrast with Sunflower's paracosm.
Discovery
One day, Qibli figured out a way for other people to use her magic — something never before thought possible — and sold it on the black market. The deed was found out when Bauhinian soldiers (along with Mulberry and Blackjack) noticed the Fantoni using dark-purple-colored magic on the battlefield.
While strolling around in Fanton one time after a deal had been made, she got roped into checking out another potential client, not knowing that it was Tsunami. When she told Qibli that Firecrackers was killed by her magic, she felt guilt and remorse, something she hadn't felt in a while.
And now Qibli has got a bunch of people coming after her. Sky of the MSS, for obvious reasons; Trinket, along with her team of Tephra and Melody, also for obvious reasons; and Sparky, because Starcorp wants Qibli to sign an exploitive contract to hand the magic monopoly to them.
Post-war
Qibli, driven by guilt and regret, had only one thing in mind.
Can she revive Firecrackers?
She practiced and practiced. She managed to revive a guinea pig. Time to test it out on the real corpse.
She found the place Firecrackers was buried and started to cast the spell. But she was interrupted by Sparky, and soon Sky and Tsunami, and soon Trinket's team. They had a huge fight. They called her mad for attempting to revive people, which was "one of the few things magic couldn't do."
"The book never said anything about magic having limitations."
In the middle of the big fight, a hand suddenly poked out of Firecrackers's grave. A tall boy with huge horns climbed out of the ground. He still looked 25.
But he wasn't Firecrackers. His eyes were empty. His soul had long ago moved on; only his body was revived.
Capture
Qibli got captured by Trinket with some smart plan, because although she's a master of magic, she's still a weakling.
By this time Kismet had already figured out that magic could be accessed from the blood, from studying confiscated Fantoni spells. He crafted a magic bioweapon and tucked Qibli inside, draining her blood to use it.
Except that it's not working. They took Qibli out again. Trinket suggested that she must've stored her magic in a vessel right before being knocked out. She was ordered to interrogate Qibli on where her vessel is.
Go — go tell Kismet that. He's a smart man. Tell him, ask him to think about why magicians are only born in Bauhinia in the first place.
The emperors summoning them to the palace did something. Slowly fewer and fewer magicians were born in northern areas. Now, in the modern day, they only appear in Bauhinia's borders.
What does he think would happen if he starts killing magicians this way? Draining all the magic out of them?
This area is outside of both of our expertise, but one thing you left out was that the total number of magicians born never fluctuated. They just changed places.
Because they're migrated. If they're killed en masse, things would be different. Do you think Kismet would risk that? I know he's listening. He can consider it right now.
I can work for you. In exchange for you destroying that magic machine and never attempting anything like that ever again. Is that a deal?
