FTFY
Though I don't think whatever state Vlag is in after two hundred years in the Warp is likely to be described as 'fine'.
It has a rating, but uses Learning for checks.
I think we'll know if we were successful by whether or not an army of deamons is coming after us.
The other wizards could explode. You don't tamper with leylines lightly, especially not this far north and even more so when it's part of the Waystone Network. That's a stupidly large amount of magic flowing through. One bad roll and it's Drakenhof all over again.
Mathilde knows enough to safely temporarily clog a Waystone, and her belt can burn out any Dhar that forms.
You know, that just gives me an image of Mathilde sitting atop the Waystone in a meditative pose, covered in purplish flames as she keep it from forming Dhar. Not that we'd actually be doing anything—unless we actively had to draw it towards us or something, which would be bad—but it's definitely an impressive image that would probably make any non-wizard think we're doing some grand ritual. Nor does it seem like how that would actually play out, but still.
(rolling a 2)
It's implied all that energy is already being diverted to hiding away Karak Vlag instead of powering the Wards. If they still have their Waystones they'll be absorbing tons of magic from literally being in a realm literally made of the stuff and if they don't they're either dead or have figured something out.
The Waystone network on the dwarven side is only important for maintaining large scale runes in the absence of Storm of Magic conditions. I highly doubt the runes that have been in the Realm of Chaos for the past 200 years are going to run out of power in a week, especially since when we've heard of runes running out of power its usually after thousands of years.
Who's ready for Dawimonettes!?
There's a thought, actually. 200 or so years of collecting energy from the Warp itself would probably mean a lot of stored energy, if they could store it at all. How much of that excess might get sent down the line to the rest of the Network if we fix their connection? IIRC K8Ps had a whole bunch of energy stored up that it dumped back into the system when reconnected. Maybe that'll happen again?
If it was just a matter of the hold being inside the Aether then I'd agree with you, but with Vlag having some daemon squatters, of Slaanesh no less, the chances of some creative redecoration not happening are rather slim.
Nope, that would be the Runes of Valaya, which function based on power received by Karaz-a-Karak... which is already not receiving energy from either Dum or Vlag.
