"I'm trying to find out plenty of things. Though I suppose my overall goal is to see why the state of magic is so odd. That's part of the reason why the Circle's swarming all over town. Omens and planar activity have pulled up some bizarre readings."

It's actual information, but it's not information that would completely out Strange and risk him getting in trouble with the Circle. After all, any idiot who could cast omens would see that the state of magic was weird.

"Sources say it's tied to the Severing--something which I'm not even going to bother asking you about, changeling." There's so much derision in the word, as if being a changeling meant that someone was equivalent to a bug Strange stepped on, or a piece of garbage on the floor. "Needless to say, you won't know anything to begin with."
