-------4th month's preliminary RAs--------
-[]
Proximity Alarms: You have been in the possession of
plans for enchantments that trigger an effect when something comes close to it for a while now. See about developing a cheap and reusable item that can be used to detect intruders. Maybe even Serpentstone can be triggered this way, which would allow you to even take pictures or recordings of your targets.

4d6 Progress), Pentos Scholarum Branch (

Improved Alchemy: The Imperium hungers for alchemical goods and much effort was poured into producing as much of them as possible, but it still does not even remotely satisfy the demand. Especially the military can devour concoctions such as Alchemists Fire or Explosive Packs at an astonishing rate. See about to either improve the output of your alchemical factories or to discover alternatives to these substances that are easier to mass-produce.

2d6 Progress);
[]
The Undeath's End: The secret of the creation of the ancient and extremely potent anti-Undead poison you received from Faceless Men is lost to eons... Yet one of the
greatest poison-makers the world knows is in your employ, and few other races have as much
intimate knowledge of poisons as the Snake-kin, and the Drow,
both of whom you have access to. Recreate the ancient mixture.
(
Progress: 23/50, Cost: ??)
----[] Wyla (
4d6 Progress), Naath Scholarum Branch (
2d6 Progress)
[]
Forge of Creation -- 2.0: With the Sarnor's pacification, there comes a much higher need for Warforged bodies than could ever have been expected. Now, that the arcane machinery of Forge of Creation was built once, it could be built again - but not without effort by those most skilled at the arcane artifice.
(
Progress: 0/15 -- half of the original RA)
----[] Anu the Warforged (
4d6 Progress),

Tier 1: Gateway research. Straight upgrade for pre-existing, simple barriers, at-cost. (
Brilliant Barrier can attune to the weapon systems on airships.)
--[]
The first step to creating more delicate workings that interact with the Ethereal Plane, progressing along this path will first allow simple, contiguous objects to pass through Force effects once properly attuned.

A Baleful Mirage: You have recently been forwarded a set of spell-scripts and samples by which the Efreeti have been made use of to manipulate the 'Grey Veil'.

Progress: 38/60, Cost: ??).
----[] Valeria the Wondersmith (
4d6 Progress); Tolos Scholarum Branch (
2d6 Progress);
