Well of course. But that isn't flawed logic. Murphy's Law if something that bad was going to go wrong, it should go wrong right away, otherwise they wouldn't have had to gone through all the trouble in their society if the discovery of their effects were detrimental.

Honestly sticking with "Creation Magics Gone Wild" sounds like a bad video late night TV infomercials are trying to sell you. I definitely want something more interesting than just that in storytelling.
