Attuning yourself to a wind eventually makes it utterly impossible to channel another wind. (Mathilde is at this point) You could "detox" yourself and start from scratch with a different wind, but wielding two is impossible at worst and stupid at best

Humans in general yes, you specifically no. Ulgu is literally part of your soul now. The Colleges see it as inevitable and even desirable to accumulate Arcane Marks, which means that there's no practical way to double-dip; eventually you'll have one Wind sink its hooks into you and then the effort you learned to learn any others is wasted.
No, unless the first rune dispels it.

Who would want a title in the Border Princes? That place gets wrecked to bedrock whenever there's a major waagh.

As I understand it, it is only difficult, not impossible. The need to detox comes from the desire to avoid Dhar accumulation (from the combination of your old and new Wind) in you r body and soul.

if you're attuned utterly, like mathilde, it is impossible to channel another wind. Word of QM.
Someone who wants legal shenanigans associated with being a royalty. It's not just any Border Princedom - it's one legally recognized by dwarfs of Barak Varr.
The fact that plenty of necromancers (such as Drachenfells) use Ulgu in addition to their corrupt shyish suggests you are wrong. The reason why humans aren't supposed to use more than one wind is because they have subpar control which inevitably leads to corruption.
You can... It would just take decades of study to change the way your mind interprets the world and to change the way your soul is attuned to just one wind.
After that you might have a chance of using two different winds... Of course you cant use them simultaneously because that would just mix them and create dhar.
But hey you would be the first manling wizard to waste over half their life changing your way of mind and attuning your soul for two winds, not leaving all that much time to learn any spells or anything useful before you died of old age.
The incredible, the pretty good and the abject failure.
Pretty standard for us.
Given his race, age, title and temperament I wonder if there is anything he actually approves of.
Nice place. We should recommend it to the EIC.
Boring but practical. Hopefully Panoramia will get some Dwarf Favour out of them.
First are worthless, we are no biologist and we have more than enough research curios as it is. Scales will be very useful one day. Crown… tempting. Very very tempting.
I told you we weren't Anton.
Social activity.
...still don't think it was worth 15 favours but dear gods that is awesome. Between this and the seed we are probably the least killable person in the entire army.

Yeah a boder princess title is pretty pointless because really nobody is going to acknowledge your rule as legitimate unless you are really powerful and have a shit ton of land and at that point a huge Waaagh is going to come and wreck your shit in like it always does please don't waste money on a useless item like that.
That seems like very niche utility at best, not one you can assume of whoever you plan to give it to.
Not-heroic martial makes just getting killed four times in the row by something extra-killy rather possible, but yes it takes either massed infantry or heroic units and monsters to take Mathilde in straight combat now.
There are a couple of examples on the tabletop, tho. There is enough wonky cannon and fanon on the issue, I simply do not care about anyone's stance on the matter other than GMs, and fully expect their positions to vary from quest to quest, leaning "no" in general.
More or less what I expected.

Drachenfels is of dubious canon, and I'm working off of word of GM. Which as you may know by rule zero, trumps all

This just seems like an enormous waste of gold.

It's more or less like purchasing diplomatic immunity of a minor country in our days. Of course it's niche but when you need it, it's priceless.

Do remember that we have the rune of spite on there as well that returns double the damage to our attacker.
Can we grow this on our fief?
Didn't we get the money to do this shopping by stealing from work?
