@Azel, @Crake makes a good point, maybe ask if he'd like to observe as we do stuff, intern style, and rather than "keep him in mind" offer him second refusal on a place ('cuz Uthero), and if it seems nitpicky, well, that's just proof that we're taking it seriously.
Not like he won't have more time to do stuff now we have the identification ritual.

Give me a moment. Going over @das_slash proposal and seeing if I just take it or make a few improvements.

Simple solution.
@DragonParadox, can you make some clarifications on sacrifice?
So, if we're hoping for something to enhance Viserys' magic, would we get the better reward by putting every single sacrifice we have into the Lys Heart Tree sacrifice and trying to multi-task by growing the Heart Tree, binding the Landwarden, and getting something for Viserys, or would we be better off growing the Lys Heart Tree and binding the Landwarden without multi-tasking while feeding the clerics to Yss and asking for a boon to enhance Viserys' magic somehow?
Both of them nearly set off apocalypses as a final "fuck you" heedless of collateral damage. Dany can try if she wants, but they will both die for what they did.

Though I suppose the next logical thing would be to be sure that this is what he wants. We don't want him following in our footsteps if he believes that is simply what he thinks he should be doing.
Also I am sure the landed nobles among us are losing their shit at the moment. We think very little of handing land and title to commoners.
On the other hand I hope they find it flattering we think they deserve what they have.

Taking @das_slash more in depth vote.

Speaking of magical agriculture, we seriously need to start training as many druids as possible. The goal will be to have a slow-growing weirwood and a druid per farming community. Even a level 5 Druid would have access to Create Water, Expeditious Excavation(Druid 1), Defoliate, Soften Earth and Stone(Druid 3), Plant Growth, Speak with Plants, Daylight (Druid 5).

I'm glad I managed to get Reva and Liset into tutoring from Bloodraven. That's going to be fun for us.
It's bound to happen eventually. He's Viserys' apprentice and he just expressed a desire to rule. He's going to take after him in more ways than one.

Ok, this is a bit of random trivia, but the thing with maelor and the asses reminds me of a (drunken) conversation i had with a few friends over our dissertations:
Basically, while doing research for his own thesis, a friend found a paper full of graphs that resembled crude drawings of penises.
So It became a bit of a running joke that our examiners would comment on our thesis with "yes, this is a very good work and It shows that you have a Deep understanding of the subject, but what i dont Understand is: did you really have to include so many penises in It"?
So i can see people working for maelor un the future going
"Yes my Lord, i can see why this is so vital to the realm and your Wisdom never ceases to amaze me, but why so many bear asses?"
Just the ramblings of a sleep deprived mind, move along.

- It could work, though given that you are pouring that magic into a tree and the nature of the gods any truly extraordinary power would likely be geographically limited, say by proximity to a heart tree.
- Yss on the other hand would be more likely to just cast a blessing on Viserys, however you should remember both Vee and Azema, Yss' blesings tend to change people in ways either seen or unseen.

Pretty much exactly the same with Viserys. It'll make it easier for him to deal with other people who try to bend or break the law and snuff out the ones who do it a bit too distastefully. I fully expect him to have an ironclad grip over the criminal underworld if/when he gets his own city.It just fucking amuses me so much though. Maelor will know more about the law and applying it due to his experience in breaking or bending it.

... Okay, honestly both of those sound unappealing. I'm glad I asked ahead of time.
@DragonParadox, for gifts that don't directly affect Viserys, which one would be more potent? Piling all sacrifices on the Heart Tree and multi-tasking or feeding the clerics to Yss? And how much faster will we get clerics from Yss if he's fed Tiamat's clerics?

Go and reread the first few updates of Vyserys being a Lord and setting up policy and administration. He was repeatedly noted to have a rather unique approach to the law due to his time as a criminal in Braavos.It just fucking amuses me so much though. Maelor will know more about the law and applying it due to his experience in breaking or bending it.
- Too many unknowns to guess for the first question, though piling sacrifices for the Lys tree is quite likely to massively empower it.
- He already has adepts, getting clerics is justa matter of finding someone with sufficient affinity and skill and swear him/herself to Yss' service
