A method is developed by Marisa Coulter and the Oblation Board to remove the dæmon, and this method is known as Intercision. It basically involves placing child and dæmon in separate cages on a kind of operating table. In between these two cages, there is a gap for a sharp blade to fall into, which severs the invisible link between child and dæmon. The results, as seen on Tony Makarios, are devastating as the child becomes a zombie-like figure who loses the will to live. Although Tony is found and saved by Lyra Belacqua and the gyptians, skulking around some outhouses in the icy wastes of Bolvangar, he dies before they get him back to their camp. However, both the Church and Lord Asriel discover that Intercision has some side effects that could be used to their advantage. Whenever the link between a child and dæmon is severed a huge burst of energy is released. Lord Asriel is the first to realise that this energy can be used to open up the invisible doorways between the different universes. |
