Varför försvann all magi omedelbart när X (A / N) lämnade Xanth?

X (A / N) th beskrivs som att släcka magi som kroppsvärme:

"I did indeed. The Demon X(A/N)th has been confined here over a thousand years. From his body has leaked a trace amount of magic, infusing the surrounding material. Hardly enough for him to notice—just a natural emanation of his presence, much as our own bodies give off heat."
Bink found this as fascinating as the Demon's vortex-Thoughts. "A thousand years? Leakage of magic?"
"In that time even a small leak can amount to a fair amount—at least it might seem that way to vermin," the Magician assured him. "All the magic of the Land of Xanth derives from this effect—and all of it together would not make up a single letter of the Demon's formula."
The Magic of Zanth, book 2: The Source of Magic, chapter 12

I så fall, när han försvann, varför stoppade all magi omedelbart? Varför stannade inte den magi som redan hade läckt in i Xanth och släpper långsammare, som en sten som avkylning när någon slutar luta sig på den? Skulle inte den magi som redan hade läckt in i Xanth (tusen år värt!) Varit kvar och sedan släppt efter X (A / N) th inte längre var där?

Varför upphörde all magi omedelbart?

Det gjorde inte .

"He's leaked a lot of magic here," Bink said. "It is quiescent without him, but so long as magical creatures like dragons and centaurs remain, we know it hasn't departed entirely.

(Chapter 14, "Paradox Wish")

Det verkar som om talanger (såväl som "stavningseffekter" som petrification) försummade omedelbart:

His talent must have saved him, just before it faded. He could not depend on it any more, however; it was evident that spells had been the first magic to go.

(Chapter 13, Magic Loss)

Men magiska varelser påverkades bara långsamt:

"In time you will change into your dominant mundane component, or your offspring will. I think that would be a large snake. I'm sorry."

The dragon stared at him in horror. Then it whipped about and half-galloped, half-slithered off.

och

They [goblins] seemed to have been bred from men and rats. Now that the magic was gone, the man-aspect was diminishing and the rat-aspect was becoming more pronounced.

(both from Chapter 13, Magic Loss)

Men det här är inte helt förklarat (kanske inte helt konsekvent), eftersom de trängande träden blir omedelbara inerta ...
