They aren't actually. There's a famous Amethyst wizard in Nuln who is the decedent of a long line of amethyst wizards.Also, go Gretel. I think the Amethysts are one of the celibate colleges?
Her ancestor Von Drakens weren't necessarily members of the Colleges.They aren't actually. There's a famous Amethyst wizard in Nuln who is the decedent of a long line of amethyst wizards.

Rules for the Lights, a vow for the Amethysts, and a cultural view in both that sex and its pursuit interferes with the proper workings of their magic.
Oh yes. Every now and then someone flaunts it obviously and unrepentantly enough that they get exiled from Altdorf, which probably indicates there's more than a few out there engaging with more discretion.
Wilhelmina was wrong, of course - the Golds aren't required to be celibate. But it wouldn't be hard for her to get that impression, given how Gold Wizards can become cold and unemotional as they become more experienced in their Wind, and that's not usually conducive to starting families. (And I suppose that for Gilded members, there's also the 'Person of Gold, Partner of Kleenex' issue? Conceptual gold must make that... interesting.)"what about you, Mathilde? You ever think of having kids one day?"
Now there was a line of thought you definitely weren't going to make public. "Maybe," is all you answer.
"So you can, then? I mean, I know the Brights and Jades do, and the Golds don't..."
You smile. "There's a joke in the Grey College: the ones that do probably shouldn't, and the ones that don't probably should."

Though it's not necessarily much proof for the present- if she's a Journeywoman, it's only proof that he wasn't that deep 20 or more years ago.If she's his daughter, it may support Mathilde's earlier assumptions that he's not that far along in his Wind
True! People do change.Though it's not necessarily much proof for the present- if she's a Journeywoman, it's only proof that he wasn't that deep 20 or more years ago.
Mathilde 20 years ago had no Arcane Marks and exactly 2 proper Ulgu spells.
Yep. Also supported by what Starke says at the Supreme Patriarch duels:it may support Mathilde's earlier assumptions that he's not that far along in his Wind, because he's pretty charismatic and politically savvy.
Can Mathilde learn the anti lightning spell? Or is it gold only?
@Boney If not-codified masteries and invented spells can only be passed to some apprentices/others with a similar mindset, and you can't develop new masteries for your own masteries of other spells/invented spells even after you codify them, does that also apply to apprentices/people with similar mindsets or can, for example, Eike develop her own mastery for the MAP or RoW?
And if so, can those masteries be passed back to the inventor of the original spell
...Speaking of which, this update does show that Feldmann appears to have a relative that's a Gold Journeywoman. If she's his daughter, it may support Mathilde's earlier assumptions that he's not that far along in his Wind, because he's pretty charismatic and politically savvy.
Possibly literally.
Bold of you to assume Boney couldn't just break trends and treat us to the Zookeeper's POV, where he has to restrain himself from gushing all over the Salamanders and also from asking Mathilde where she has been all these years and if she got the milk and cigarettes she was looking for.To be honest, while the House Filuan and Gold College social actions were fun to read because Boney's an excellent writer, I didn't enjoy the subject matter as much as I did Gretel and elementalism. It felt like eating vegetables, something that isn't as inherently pleasant as other options but more beneficial, except here it wasn't beneficial and I don't want social votes to be about benefits anyway. I want to pick the funnest options.
I never want to check in with the salamanders if there's any other social option available, even in a hypothetical scenario where we'd get a bit of CF out of it. Wordcount is zero sum and the salamanders aren't worth it.
If there was a social vote for Mathilde to eat vegetables, I'd vote for it.To be honest, while the House Filuan and Gold College social actions were fun to read because Boney's an excellent writer, I didn't enjoy the subject matter as much as I did Gretel and elementalism.

We already had one- I'm sure there were some in that minestrone she ate when she was talking with the Halfling Elder.If there was a social vote for Mathilde to eat vegetables, I'd vote for it.
