Roughly how many shoulders has Kazador slapped since the beginning of this celebration
All of them. He's tall enough to slap most manling shoulders and he never misses a chance to demonstrate.

Wizard Emperor? Maybe not. But Wizard Elector is a good start.

Presumably they are the result of applying 'reliable' technology in new ways rather than being 'new' technology. Even still it is heartening to see the Dawi get a fresh design into production so quickly.
It has been quite some time since Vlag was returned. Either Dwarfs have a very long recovery time for malnutrition or food shipments haven't been arriving.
We don't have time to investigate. It isn't our job to investigate. There are undoubtedly qualified people already working on whatever the problem is.
…but I still want to go be nosy.
Oh that was glorious.
Or perhaps you should visit your gods damned office once in a while, you utter failure of a bureaucrat.
A very interesting contrast. Heidi dedicates herself to a single aspect to the deliberate exclusion of the others. And interprets other people as having a similarly definitive relationship.
Mathilde on the other hand aligns with whatever aspects suit the situation. Rather in the Elf style actually.
And in this moment Heidi proves herself a better parent than far too many. Not because she is good at the job, but because she is willing to admit she isn't good at it and seek advice.
Also noteworthy that there is no mention of Ranald being present for the conversation.

We'll have to wait for the next generation of Vlag to see "regular" Dwarves from there, I think.
People grown up with lower nutrition can have a permanently changed body-type, even if they get enough food later.

The levels of 'acceptance' necessary are different between the people with all the weapons and the money and those who... don't have those things. The peasants would be risking a hanging if they rebel and they know it so they do not tend to rebel unless they are really pushed into a corner, which this is not.

By itself? No, it's not. But anything bad happening - and it's Warhammer, bad things will happen - will be blamed on the "cursed" ruler.
Yes, there's nothing really revolutionary in it, but previously passengers on Dwarven monitors were usually treated like cargo you couldn't stack quite as high. This is a specialized passenger ship that can double as a troop transport if it needs to.
If someone suffers malnutrition for their first few years they'll be smaller than they otherwise would be for life, no matter how well-fed they might be as adults. For Dwarves, that means leanness rather than (additional) shortness.
I mean sure, but that is still a high bar to pass because it's 'the peasantry has to fight the best trained state troops in the Empire'. They are not going to do that without a real calamity, the sort of which is not common , especially in one of the safer provinces like Reikland.
Outside of Ostermark, Elector Count is an inherited position, and being a Wizard alone wouldn't be enough to start an outright rebellion or coup in Reikland.

You know, what are the odds of Kazrik's and Edda's child having a strong affinity for magic?
Kazrik is an apprentice runesmith after all.
It would be 3/3.
(Runesmith would make sense at least, a dwarf becoming an actual wizard would be too much)

Any other province it wouldn't go nearly as well but a lot of the nobility and basically all of the IMPORTANT nobility is going to have been educated in "be performatively dismissive about magic" Altdorf.

Even without a meta standpoint (which is end times), it's still far from a safe bet considering the frequency of waaaghs and cultist infiltrations from the forces smelling an opportunity.
It is still safer than practically any other province and the End Times are nonsense so I am not going to take those into consideration.

Next arc after MAT-WEB. Opening an orphanage to find a statistically significant sample size on Mathildes impact on children.
Nullify is right out. I'm very much against voting for something Mathilde would hate herself for.
Wizard and Ranald… Wizard.
Less risk of total failure. Vastly less risk of backfire. Rewards that, for Mathilde, are at least as good and arguably better than a Ranaldian Emperor. Plus there is no reason that Wizard!Mandred will not also favour Ranald and a Ranaldian Elector Count is a powerful thing on its own.
There is also the fact that Heidi is not asking the Ranald worshipping Lady Magister what the optimal course is. She is asking Mandred's godmother what is best for her child. And forcing a child to carry a deadly secret their entire life is not what a benevolent godmother should do.

Edit: After re-reading the update, I find myself less than enthused about the idea of making an even riskier, even more selfish bet with a mother's son. It just feels too callous.

Double. Or. Nothing.
Yes, Ranaldian magic isn't the best fit for an Emperor. Yes, this is a great risk. But here's the advantage; the payoff for taking this risk: This choice guarantees Ranald's extremely close attention and investment. You thought Ranald was invested before? With the potential future Emperor not only being Ranald-inclined, but a divine caster of Ranald on top of that? Crank Ranald's personal efforts here up to 11. Eleven hundred percent. That's the major benefit of this choice: Mandred will have one of Warhammer's deities not just looking out for him, but actively trying to get him the best life possible. No amount of wizard training and equipment can compare to that kind of massively weighted advantage.
Besides, Ranald's been stretching his limits throughout the Quest. The exercise here will be good for him, too.
(Also, this would be the ultimate expression of Mathilde's Disdain for Sigmar trait. Just putting that out there.)
