Heidi is married to a man who has not one, but two runic weapons, both gifted by the Dwarves. I think she's aware she can buy runic items from the Dwarves if she wants them.
Besides, I'm fairly sure that when this conversation came up regarding Eike, the answer was some variation of "items that are useful for an apprentice are useless for a magister, and vice versa, so you might as well as wait until they graduate for the best benefit."
She definitely knows about access to runic items. But she may not know that they have Sevir-regulating runic items. All we know she knows is weapons that make you hit better and armor that makes you take hits better. I truly do believe that drawing her attention to Dhar destroying and Wind repelling items might have tangible positive results.
The only thing I can think of that speaks against this avenue (other than opportunity cost elsewhere) is that we might not need to micromanage Mathilde that way and can assume that she'd share such obvious insights with her godchild's mother off screen.
It should also be noted that Mandred is 7 and will likely not even touch magic for at least another four years. He does not need super secret experimental dwarf stuff with any degree of urgency, assuming such a thing could and would be made.
I'm not sure that's how it works, given how his affinity was already discovered. The Colleges don't usually train anyone that young, but I think that's more about the age of discovery never being that low than about actual minimum age requirements.
That said, Mandred is too young to follow the standard College curriculum. But I imagine that some flavor of Wizard is going to be added to his tutors asap.
Specifically? An apology to Boney, rather than an excuse.
In general? Fewer questions from you.
The first one is fair.
@Boney, I am sorry for not reading your note attentively enough and then bothering you with exactly the kind of question you didn't want. Twice in a row. I should concentrate more, especially on the section that is about your needs instead of our entertainment.
As for the second however, I feel quite certain that I scaled my questions down over the last few months, especially the questions that excessively dig into irrelevant world-building. My questions just continue to come simultaneously instead of being dispersed over time like those of more active posters. If the general volume still bothers Boney I'll need more than your word for it, Alliterate.
Edit: Didn't see your response before posting, Boney. Sorry again.
But I'll also choose more reasonable options 😏
