Im certainly very late to the game on this, but if anyone has tracked all significant 18s in the magnus archives. I’d love to see that.
took me this long to notice that 160 took place on Oct 18th, 2018, and the institute was founded in 1818.
and my computer is on its last leg and doesn’t have the capacity to let me click through every wiki page to look for other occurrences of the number 18
ANDDD the first thing irl that comes to mind when I hear 1818 is Frankenstein (original version, as opposed to the 1831 version with the revisions).
which is very fitting for Jonah Magnus, the guy who ‘made’ his 'monster,’ and this supposed monster ultimately destroyed him
