Magic unchecked

"Nngh?! What just..." Riddle starred in shock as the tree that was once hurdling towards us turned into... playing cards?

Ace opening his eyes, began to pat down his chest, "Huh? I'm still alive? What's with all these playing cards?"

"All the rose trees turned into cards?" Deuce remarked while bending down to pick one up—the two of spades nonetheless.

Trey angrily looked up at Riddle while grossing his arms, "Riddle, stop this right now!"

Cater shockingly gasped as it finally clicked, "Wait, is that Trey's unique magic? "Doodle Suit"?! But... how?!"

"All the magic-sealin' collars are gone!" Grim exclaimed as I watched Ace and Deuce feel for them around their necks. Stopping to realize that they were indeed gone.

"What did I tell you? My magic can overwrite characteristics for a short time," Trey reminded the group while smiling, "So I used it to make "Riddle's magic" into my magic."

My eyes widened in curiosity, "That has to be some form of a loophole or something!" I exclaimed shockingly.

Riddle laughed slowly, "N-no... Off with their heads! I SAID, off with their heads!"

Trey shook his head while stepping up to the Housewarden, "Riddle, stop. Can't you see how you look right now?"

"He... He was really gonna do it!"

"He is completely out of control..."

"He's like some kinda monster!"

Riddle screamed at Trey, "What? Was my magic overwritten by yours? Does that mean your signature spell is stronger than mine?!" Feeling like something was wrong I turned towards Crowley who was staring at the situation with the same concern that I held.

"Of course it doesn't. Riddle, take a deep breath and listen to us," Trey tried to reason but Riddle didn't listen.

"Are YOU going to tell me that I'm wrong too? After all I've done to protect the rule of law?!" Riddle screamed while laughing and pulling at his hair, "Do you know how much I've suffered for this?! I... I refuse to believe this!"

Finally stepping in, Crowley screamed out, "Cease immediately, Mr. Rosehearts! Any further attempt to use magic will leave your magestone completely tainted with blot!"

In the corner of my eye, I watched as ink began to dot Riddle's crystal on his staff, "But... I'm right! I'M the one who's right! There is NO! POSSIBLE! ALTERNATIVE!"

"Riddle, stop!"
