I meant as a long term alternative to us in terms of magic sources. In the short term, we're the ones to deal with because we don't have a devil possessed astrologer as our (apparent) #2.
True, for a wider definition of politics than I was going for, and not really applicable where the Dornish questions concerned, at least for the moment.

Good point, Brravos mortal magic may be weak, but their fey are mighty. If they really want, we can pick him up after expedition and while the shop is returning, teleport him to Brravos and then put him back later.
Or even on the way there! Expanding his context before going past Volantis should be beneficial imo.

Well, if Braavos (or Mantarys perhaps) doesnt work for them, tough luck.
They already are independant themselves seeing as they have a whole order. Which, surprise came from us being extorted / placated them with Velen and now a Limpad.
If we or Braavos arent good enough to hell with their desire for other contacts. Mysterium shant gain influence in the institution we helped them found!
Tbh Oberyn can fock the right off about going to the Mysterium, and I think we should channel a little Westerosi fuedalism and feel affronted about this. @Duesal

Short answer, yes. The Dornish want more sources of magic? Fine. They can go to the fey, not a city we're in a cold war with.

Guys, I think out bottom line is: Don't be stupid looking for cursed loot, you can just use good ol' hard cash to commission exactly what you want from us.
Don't go helping or, worst of all, making deals with someone we are fairly certain we will be stompping soon.

As long as she is working as designed. I am hesitant to declare that there is no flaw, exploit, or emergent behavior that could let such an arcanum work around inbuilt loyalty. I am saying that if such a flaw or workaround exists, Evil researcher Lya would be the one to find and exploit it.
I'm also grumpy that Nymeria is leaving. Is

We could do that, but what are you hoping to do with this?
Alright, removing the Mithral spear. I was only interested in selling it because apparently True Silver has the same DR-piercing qualities as regular silver, but it's redundant since we're selling regular silver anyway.

I guess I just fundamentally don't get what is so bad about our allies working with our enemies.
Already didn't understand it with Aberi and Cersei andnow I still don't.

Because our allies aren't all that good or loyal to us to begin with, nor do most of them have the same morals or scruples that we do, so there is an uncomfortably high chance they will instead ally with our enemies, thus becoming our enemies as well.

Are... Are you some form of outsider?
@Duesal basically so he gets a chance to get some more magical context in a city that has some friendly elements at least, and spend his cash there for magic that he's not getting from us for whatever reason, to make him go "Viserys, what a swell guy!" To save him from the lost time that is boat travel.

It boils down to it being a major violation of trust. It's a general expectation that your supposed allies don't help your enemies. If they do help your enemies, people who are actively either hurting you or threatening you, then they aren't really allies at all.I guess I just fundamentally don't get what is so bad about our allies working with our enemies.

For example, if we discovered that the Sealord had made a deal with Robert behind our backs and was actively funneling magic items into Westeros, the thread would be rightfully pissed.

If Oberyn himself wanted a Mithral weapon or armor, I would be willing to sell it to him, but it would be extremely expensive. No friend, erstwhile ally, or father of a friend discount. He's rich, he can afford it.

For Oberyn only I'd personally have no problem with selling the spear. Looking back, after equipping Dany, Tyene, and Vee in Mithral Fullplate (which would take 82.5 pounds of Mithral) we still have 209 pounds left over. That is more than enough of a reserve, and it wouldn't be like Oberyn won't pay full price here.
Alright, adding that back in. One Mithral spear isn't going to take a significant chunk here, and since he's paying for it (if he wants it in the first place) I see no reason not to offer.

I concur, ish, I'd rather sell than for a price, but not as high a price as goldfish. @Duesal, what about offering to sell him a mithril or adamantium spearhead for a for fair price, and explain the various damage resistances and piercing of each.
Maybe offer to +1 it at additional cost if he likes?

Also could we awaken Sorcerers Deep some time later?
Speaking of Mantarys we are friends with Angles made of pure holy goodnes. How can we abuse and manipulate this for PR?
