I'm about as new as you are so I'm afraid I can't really answer on the bomb part of any of this. But the magic that lets us all talk to each other does seem to be working, even if something's affecting other magic here.

I can't tell you if there's much of a team either. From what I've heard so far, it... mightn't be that simple.
