Listen, folks, if you want Mathilde to bind a woman with incredible plant powers in chains of Ulgu, there already someone who 1) might be into it 2) would probably be miffed if we did that with someone else first.

SMH we ask our runelords to be radical af but when its time for us to step up the game, we only perform lukewarm loops instead of something properly radical :V

Ah yes, Mathilde. A more Traditional Grey Wizard you'll never find, what with her Witch Hunter hat, her Dwarfen-made sword, and her spell of Dragon's Breath.

Dragon flask is cool, but I'm concerned about our ability to actually confirm the kill if it works.

I'd rather know if Drycha has escaped or not than try to guess if she was disintegrated or managed to complete her teleport at the last second.
 
Seriously though, the idea of binding forest spirits instead of just Apparitions opens up a lot of options for the future. Maybe we could go for Spites or something in the future.

I presume, Mathilde tries to wrap up a sentient being in chains of magic she's familiar with using, and then tries to graft her onto her soul. The best outcome I see from this is both exploding.

Worst: Drycha manages to take over Mathilde, and now there's an insane evil dryad with a hateboner for civilization, possessing a Lady Magister.

Also, this is really pretty squicky since Apparitions are... dubiously sentient. Drycha is inarguably a person.

The Evil Overlord List is a consistently terrible ruleset, where many of the rules are actively bad, and a large portion of it contradicts with itself.

Binding Drycha is probably a bad idea (one I'm arguing for, but still), but this specific argument is built on an untrustworthy source.

Edit: My apologies, I feel like I'm being a little overly aggressive. The Evil Overlord List is a bit of a pet peeve of mine.

Given Spites are more intelligent, there's at least the possibility of arranging something mutual there, I feel like.

In general, even if I was one to disregard the (rather insane) risk of trying to bind Drycha in the middle of a battlefield when we only have the barest idea of what binding actually entails, I don't think Drycha particularly expands Mathilde's abilities. Especially if we can't use her to her utmost because she's shackled so she can't act against us.
 
Oh! and our soul could mix too and form one new soul hypothetically! A mix between Mathilde and Drycha... this sounds really cool!! :V God I might change my vote now
 
We can probably try binding some other Fey spirit after we're done with Drycha. Lets dragonflask her, and then try this out, please.
EDIT: If we even want to, given the ethics of the situation and probably the questionability of keeping the apparitions thing under wraps after binding fey.
