What Happened to All the Sparks that Bolas Harvested?

When Liliana turned Bontu against Bolas, all the planeswalker sparks that Bolas harvested vanished in the aether, but I hope that WotC does not let that plot line end there. With all that raw magical power concentrated into a single place, surely, there would be side effects? Perhaps they would tear a hole in the very fabric of existence, or cause ripples throughout the multiverse?
What does everyone else say about this? What effects shall the harvested planeswalker sparks have?

Hopefully nothing honestly. It's not like Sparks get recycled and it's energy that enters the aether. But Ravnica is already such a mana rich world with power coming from multiple sources that the energy probably would be a drop in the ocean. Not to mention the fact that so many different foreign sources of mana (the fact that Ravnica is basically a plane where people just dumped species from all over the multiverse apparently) may make the fact that they weren't originally ravnican Mana kind of moot.
Also, with as many current plot lines running from Bolas' end (the rebuilding of planes he used to create his plans, following up on new Planeswalkers, the escape of Liliana, Dovin and Tezzeret, and just the number of deaths of Planeswalkers that occured) kind of leave a lot of story points already that need to be addressed, not to mention the tons of story points that should be addressed not related to Bolas' invasion. I don't think this additional one should be, will be or even could be addressed without kinda going too deep into the magic system and messing with the lore.
