Mathilde doesn't even bother to look for him if she wants to ask him something if he's not already working on something for her, she just leaves a note in his quarters and he comes and finds her at some point in the next few days when he gets it.

It is now my head canon that he has joined a Fitness Kithband who meets three times a week to make sure no one skips leg day.

That sounds almost like a reversal of Mathilde's days in K8P.
Visitor: "Where is the Lady Magister? I need to talk to her and no one can tell me where she is."
K8P Resident: "Leave a message with that wolf and she'll get back to you."

Since I'm reading the End Times and I'm keeping track of Nexuses of energy and all that jazz, I'm keeping this as a note in the thread, but do take it with a grain of salt because it's End Times:
There is a place called the Nine Daemons in the Glen of Sorrow in Sylvania that is said to be the calcified remains of nine daemons creating a stone circle over a nexus of the Geomantic Web. Arkhan does not know if that rumor is true and does not care, because he's trying to revive Nagash and the place being a nexus is a good place for the ritual. (End Times: Nagash Page 142-143)

Can joining Johann on his escapades be a Social Action?
Or it just sounds like Johann's days in K8P, where he joined a niche mining/boxing cult.
If I can think of an interesting way to write it I'll add it to the list.
You know, I wonder how Johann would even fight these days. He's a trained boxer in the Dwarven style with a robot arm featuring an iron man laser, but he's also blind unless his opponent is wearing metal or is really really magical.

Johann explained how magesight works, and it's not exactly a metal detector. His magesight works better on metals, but it's proprioception. The ability to sense where everything is in relation to your own position. It requires a lot of training, but he can tell where everything is in relation to his own position, which with some twisting can let him fight naturally.

There is a "Boiling Blood" spell for Lore of Fire. It's Fiendishly Complex and honestly does not do that much damage. It debuffs perception only. It's also a single target Damage over Time spell. Really not that great. I'm assuming trying to affect someone's body directly with no vector is pretty difficult, and the whole "Burn Someone's Blood" is far more intuitive than "manipulate the blood through the iron content". Lore of Metal casters are unfortunately nowhere near Magneto's level.

Until Johanneto came along
Tbh, blood extraction would be a lot easier with ferrokinesis than magnetism manipulation. But that's superhero rubber science for you.
But magic is a lot harder to do at microscopic scale.
And the winds are metaphorical... So i imagine giving someone a steel spine is more possible than doing blood extraction

Stating this once again. A cool spell to make would be one that just sucks up sound in a area around us. It makes our sword way stealthier since we can just go full bore and people still won't hear the guard over yonder exploding.
A battle spell version of it would make cannon ambushes extremely entertaining.

I'm actually curious. Would the characters in story know that blood contains Iron? I mean, if you smell/taste blood, and you smell/taste iron, they have the same smell. They could probably come to some sort of conclusion even without complicated science. Or they could come up with a hilriously innaccurate theory like I hear history has a tendency of producing.

The gold college has pretty advanced chemistry.
Blood iron was identified in 1746.
The question is if anyone has ever tried looking at blood under a microscope.
I doubt it, but it could happen.
Johann with Windsage level could probably notice it too.
The Gold Order probably wouldn't have an advantage in discovering this. Alchemically iron is associated with Mars, masculinity, and the gallbladder, whereas blood is associated with gold and 'rubedo'.

I already wanted this, and now I still do. Especially with that teaser about Kislev. The big example I'm thinking of with Waystone energy mysteriously being missing is when a Dwarven hold got vanished into the Warp by a daemonic ritual. If something is going on with the Waystones between here and Kislev, we should really know about that for multiple reasons.

That said, the arch and underdressed forest spirit is clearly still on Mathilde's mind, so this gets an approval vote.

Maybe not in the past, but wouldn't Johann definitely know by now? He can sense the metals in inks from a short distance and he regularly touches blood with his hands (mostly with his knuckles as it is set free from other people's faces). And since he is Gold Order and I doubt that there's anyone comparable, that's technically a Gold Order advantage.
