At approximately 14:00 hours, the subject, Student Vertin, was apprehended in the restricted archives section of the Library. The subject was found in possession of unauthorized historical materials (specifically, newspapers dated post-"The Storm" era, which are strictly prohibited for general student viewing under Foundation Protocol 4-A).

When approached by Instructor [REDACTED], the subject refused to surrender the materials and utilized her innate arcane skills to slow the immediate vicinity of time, effectively delaying the confiscation of the items by three minutes and twelve seconds.
