There is a reason for the use of 3, while I can't say how much of this applies to Dresen cannon there are a ton of numerology implications of the number 3. First, and the most basic reason often used 3 is the least amount of sides that can be used to form a polygon, and it therefore represents stability. Second, 3 is a representation of unity because it takes the principles of identification found in the ideas of man being created first as 1 and woman being created second as 2, therefore a union between the two is the next step up, and again leads to stability. Third, 3 has a ton of mythological implications and therefore gets relied upon in magic a lot due the law of threefold resonance (which honestly deserves it's own spot) there were three witches in Macbeth, three Norns, three Fates who watched over the loom in Greek myth, three great gods in Greek myth, not to mention the correlation to the concept of the three domains of land sea and sky, there are three names of Ra, in Christianity God has three parts. There are so many things that make 3 pop up as significant, that I'm willing to trust in it, if nothing else the concept of a "stable union" when applied to our energy should help.
Possible, but, honestly, it's still a middling mortal enchanted object. Making sure we can use it safely with exalted scale power is more important than making sure a coven of mortal minor practitioners can use it to the best of its ability. Safety first and all that.
Being able to tell them though would further cement our status as a one of the wise. And it's original purpose is unlikely to be completely unrelated to how we are using it today.
It's also harder to explain away knowing what the cauldron is for and how to use it perfectly than knowing how to use it safely. Crown of Eyes is a big asset and something to be kept secret.
Maybe write in to spray some water on ourselves from a spray bottle? Or just pour water over ourselves?
TLF is always active.
I don't think we can apply countermagic to things not targetting ourself.
In an active ritual where we're actively involved, I would think it qualifies, because any backlash would hit us too.
We should probably use a leadership excellency for an inspirational peptalk beforehand then. A stunt can be built around this. And with this idea, I am off to sleep.

1 Essence, 2 for exalancys and 1 for crown means that our anima flares in case that is a consideration.
Being fair, the stunt could be taken as somewhat condescending. They clearly weren't planning to put enough juice in to directly start a fire and just accept the possibility of it being insufficient. The only thing they didn't consider was blinding bystanders.
It definitely was. It isn't as if the fire mage doesn't know how fires work. They just considered it a small price to pay for home security.
