Among other things, scout. Also, I am changing it up to be that they got complacent and didn't realize that they had let slip their control of the weather that THEY preferred, which is why they had the disadvantage.

Basically, im using the TVTropes "Artistic License - Physics for the magic(since the substrate energy is unconfirmed) and "Artistic License - History" to change the ways things turned out. Otherwise, its pretty accurate afaik.
