Isn't that what apprentices are for? To do all the drudgery for you and make them pay you for it?

I highly doubt that apprentices have the time (they need to be in lectures and learning including researching) plus there's inevitably going to be areas where allowing apprentices would be dangerous, but allowing non-wizards would not. Or that the apprentices shouldn't be allowed to know about, but that you can clear a number of staff for.

Personally i was thinking a two-stage filter. A first stage filtration pool with Hysh magic to cleanse chemical impurities and Dhar, then some way down the piping a runic filter that repels all magic in the water that flows through to get rid of the Hysh. We know that repelling magic is a relatively simple exercise for Dwarven runecraft after all.

It might be technically possible to build in enough secondary filtering methods and redundancy and failsafes that you could guarantee that every drop comes out completely magically inert, but it would be a lot more difficult and a lot harder to sell to a Dwarven population than just building Runic or non-magical filtering in the first place.
Long-term studies of this type haven't been undertaken, and are unlikely to be approved because if it does go wrong, it will go wrong in a beastman/chaos cultists/chaos spawn kind of way. The Jades and Ambers might have studied the effects of this on themselves, but if so they haven't shared the results.

Really happy with the idea of a random someone approaching us each social turn. I honestly wouldn't mind if it was even something like 3 locked/3 choices. 
Locked in duckling club, lock in a subvote of a fellow councillor, and whammo QM's choice.
It's a little too iron fisted to really implement, especially given we end up tactical voting even the social stuff, but I can Didn't Sleep Ponder about these things if I want!

Ok so while an arcane mark that isn't the Mark of Ulgu or shrouded isn't what I was hoping for, but I think there is a benefit that can be obtained. So since our arcane mark draws fog/smoke/mist towards us is it possible to make a spell that either creates fog/smoke/mist constructs or controls fog/smoke/mist? I remember one person mentioning a spell quite a few pages back that BoneyM approved here:
The spell in question
deals with manipulating a copy of us out of the mist. Seeing as this is a possible spell and innately ties into her Warrior of Fog trait (seeing as its directly using fog to manipulate people) I was thinking this would be a pretty neat avenue to research into. If controlling fog/mist/smoke or creating constructs out of it is feasible I imagine Mathilde would just manipulate the smoke/fog/mist following her into various shapes. Maybe a shadowy cat trailing behind her

Gah. I hope my comments did not come off as a pointed "when is that lazy QM gonna show up and start writeslaving for us" sort of thing. I was just observing that the official time was up, and so I wanted to get some stuff in since I didn't know when you would show up to close things. My apologies.

Undumgi. I think we really have to meet with Francesco, and I want us to hang with Oswald, because he is an absolute legend who got literally disemboweled and then was so pissed off that the military wouldn't let him keep fighting that he joined the K8P expedition to do it again.

Basically:
Think of it as Dwarves having High Damage Resistance but a middling HP pool while Humans have low DR, a moderate HP pool, but a trickle of Regeneration.
Anything that doesn't bypass the Dawi DR is ignored, but if it's consumed the what might otherwise be an okay amount of magic bypasses the majority of the DR and starts chipping away at their HP aka initiates the stonification process*. Instead of filtering out of their system, Magic turns Dwarves to Stone.
Humans on the otherhand are so mutable that they have an innate tolerance to Magic. The vast majority of the time, a singular casting of a Human Spell on a Human target will do exactly what the spell is supposed to do and nothing more. Any remaining traces of magic will eventually filter out of the system with next to no effects, like a liver filtering out alcohol.
If you end up consuming enough alcohol (Magic) then your liver may get some scarring (mutations/arcane marks), but generally speaking humans are able to get black out drunk (receive semi-regular War Buffs from both Wizards and Priests) with no real after effects.
The Watchmen were specifically affected by Dwarven Battlemagic as wielded by a Living Ancestor, The Greatest Active Runelord, with said Battle Magic's effect being "Make Them More Like The Platonic Ideal Of A Dwarf."
And I think Kragg got a crit.
So that specific case is something of an exception and more resembles going on a drunken bender in the classy part of town as paid for by a celebrity and waking up with a taste for The Good Stuff/Straight Everclear.
*Which is what canonically happens to Dwarves who have magic enter their system or who channel magic. That's why Runes are so important to the Dawi.
Plus, WoG.
Why not just go for Runecraft in the first place then?
The narrative that's being told here, as far as I can read it, says:
It takes a significant investment for any Rune Based Infrastructure Investment. Really for any Infrastructure Investment, but especially for Runed Systems because Magic.
At the time that K8P fell, no one was expecting any of this. Within the Dawi time frame, everything went wrong immensely quickly, and no one could really imagine things going wrong like they did, nor for sabotage to happen.
Ranger-like thinking still isn't exactly a mainstream thought process after all.
So protecting the water supplies from poison?
What proper Dawi would ever need to do that?
And then the Skaven did it and Karak Eight Peaks fell.
The Skaven will not succeed in doing it a second time.
