Pretty sure the blade is hers since Codrin wasn't there to participate.

Dwarf logic says:
-Reward goes to Codrin as commander and thus directly responsible for the outcome.
-Codrin not found. Clan?
-Clan is fictional.
-Clan not found. Hold?
-Stirlander or Sylvanian.
-No legitimate claimant for Sylvania that isn't already Grudged.
-Assigned to King of Hold Stirland
-Is King willing to accept?
-Yes, excellent.

Only critique is here. I'm not 100%, but I'm pretty sure that any descendant of Thungi can potentially learn Runesmithing, male or female.

I hadn't intended this to be gendered (a bit like you'd say the "Realms of Men" and not mean to exclude women) but on review Thorek uses "descendants of Thungi" on turn 28, so corrected.

First off, @Humbaba , really liked your omake! There was some unexpected switches between second and third person perspective (she vs you) early on before you settled into 'you', but the letters were note-perfect and I liked the way you made the journey feel torturously long.

Darn it I thought I'd caught all the switches. Thank you for pointing that out, I think they're fixed now.

I'm really glad you enjoyed the omake. I was a bit worried about the letters, since I found them quite hard to write (especially the last two) so I'm really happy to hear that you thought they felt right! :)

Well... uh... accelerated regrowth requires a good deal of precision to result in healing rather than megacancer or something, while going all 'you are now restored to your perfect form' is a simple application of Sufficient Magic.
... still kind of odd the Jade College doesn't have some healing spells - a less powerful/longer cast but versatile sort of thing?

The spellbook in the threadmarks only includes non battle magic, in terms of battle magic Jades are ridiculous healers. Their Lore Attribute (equivalent to Smoke and Mirrors for us) lets them heal themselves or others everytime they cast a spell (assume battle magic spell), and they have Earthblood and Regrowth, two very strong healing spells. The odd thing is that all of that is restricted to Battle Magic and weaker variants aren't available for some reason.

Their healing being effective but difficult to wield would fit with that.
Earthblood is also in their non-battle spell list, but it's self-only.

Ah, well I got the list of battle magic spells from the Collection of Important Information threadmark under College Rep, which has a list of battle magics. It had this:

Earthblood (10 favors): You grant yourself and nearby allies regeneration.

Being fair this is an enchantment, so maybe the base spell only heals you but the enchantment also heals others.

I think there's a Relatively Simple 'Heals you over time' version and a Battlemagic 'heals you and the formation you're embedded in, fast enough to be combat-relevant'.

This reminds me of the Bright College having a Moderately complicated spell named "Fire Ball" and a Battle Magic spell called "Fireball".

This is one thing I hate about the Colleges.

Hmm... I wonder if we can convince some pyromancer to create the spells 'fireball', 'FIREBALL', 'fire Ball', and 'Fire ball'?

Well, in the Quest canon many Colleges are atrocious with naming things. Doylist explanation is simple - battle magic and "normal" magic lists are from two different products - battle magic is from the tactical game with miniatures (what most people imagine when someone says "Warhammer"), while normal magic is from the RPG. Some spells (like fireball) are so iconic for the College in question that both products have some version of it. QM just decided that in those instances it is not the same spell, but two different spells, similar in name and purpose, but different in power level.
