Bethany, who was there when most of this went down, will calmly explain that in this situation getting upset is not going to help anyone. She'll pass around the cookies she made for snacks and then further point out that from an accident they've learned more about shards than they have been able to in the last few months, from what she can tell.
You need five rifters to close a rift. More importantly, they do not have to be conscious for that to work. That will be important if someone on the field has to hold up someone's hand to make the rift close. Also, they have now learned that the shards can also open rifts - that will be useful for those particular fissures that seems to be somewhere inbetween open and closed.
As a Grey Warden observer -- Sabriel is their official representative on the council, she would suggest a more pragmatic approach. More guidelines about what sort of magic should be allowed to be practiced within Skyhold's walls, period. Perhaps experimentation should be moved to a location not in the middle of heavy populated areas.
