How about we take a step back and ask a salient question that all Solar's ask? Even if we can do this why in god's good name should we? What are these ultra horrific spells that the PRT won't let us research and why do we need them? What to do they do that is so aparently worth wasting all this time staying out in the cold and being a skulldegerous little snipe, that is so good that the PRT won't simply approve and tell us to keep it on the downlow?
What do they aparently need plausible deniability for? Are we going to be reasearching how to summon chaotic evil outsiders who grant power in exchange for the sacrifice of children? What?
Considering all the myriad of protectorate power we see including the not pretty ones and the pyromancer what makes you believe this chain is so heavy?
Canon? What parts? Miss biblical plague?
To horrifying in implication: most of the School of Enchantment and some o the School of Illusion. I don't know about you but being able to dominate Bonesaw into deactivating her apocalyptic plague dead-mans' switches seems like a good idea. Human Master powers powers are not seen well but we may well need them.
Too horrifying in execution: Pretty much all of the School of Necromancy. It looks, feels, sounds like and is Evil MagicTM but it has some of the most powerful save-or-die effects that have a good chance to bypass bullshit cape powers
And this bailout option why exactly are we planning for failure in that way and why do we expect that we'll have to 'bail out'. Do you expect us to come to blows, and become a criminal without any reputation or recourse?
I mean we're over the Sophia hump. We're entering on good terms. And Taylor's really fucking hardline and in general the PRT are SV SB kind of people when we're putting on the jack boot and our super human social set is good for getting a seat at the big girl's table.
Absent a Cauldron reveal why is Taylor gonna bail after she start making friends, and in what scenario will she bail before we start gaining the ability to crash economies. Or crack open Panacea.
A Cauldron reveal could still happen. Remember Echidna was a Simurgh plot which means Ziz wants o crack the conspiracy open. This may well happen here too by a similar or different path.
