That could be any Gold college magister patriarch.
Doesn't seem to have been a college favour drip so probably.
Gretel the Cowboy-Princess? I'm very glad we have visited her, and she certainly enjoys her life.

The Gretel interlude serves neatly as an epilogue to her plot thread. At least until we hear about the next Waaagh! to come through the area in a decade or so, when it'll be worth checking that she came through all right.

Hunh, this sounds almost like the Golds have found their own AV-equivalent. More specifically, given the note of Elemental Theory, it sounds almost like they might have found the same Cardinality gap in the collegiate studies that the start of the social actions this turn showed Mathilde.

It kinda makes sense that sometimes, nobody's got a good reason to seek out Mathilde. The world doesn't revolve around her, and she's a bit too important and intimidating for people to seek out frivolously.
Also, go Gretel. I think the Amethysts are one of the celibate colleges? If they are, she should consider adopting an orphan, always a good way to shore up succession, and it's not like there's a dearth of orphans in the Border Princes.

Especially when working with Dhar-related esoteric effects and materials.
I suspect they may mean elements as in the periodic table.

Wow, they managed to derive something from Skaven tech that is actually safer? Those Gold wizards are geniuses.

Poor Sofia. Hopefully she'll make her way to peace.
Good to see Gretel is making a name for herself and embracing the nature of a very visible Wizard. It's just a shame that she's reading us like a book too, lmao.
And it's fun to know what the Golds have gotten up to. Those discoveries are interesting, and that Battle Altar sounds horrifying.
Anyway, here's my idea for purchases;
[ ] [LIBRARY] Library of Mournings: Ladrielle, Hoeth
[X] [LIBRARY] Library of Mournings: Linguistics, Hoeth
[X] [LIBRARY] Library of Mournings: Linguistics, Ladrielle
[X] [LIBRARY] Back-fill: Social sciences
[X] [DWARF] No purchase.
[X] [COLLEGE] A translation of the Indic Aqshy books obtained from the Elementalists (1 CF)
[X] [PURCHASE] No purchase.
[X] [PURCHASE] Trade (Eonir Esoteric, 150 gc)
While Backfill calls to me like a siren song, I think I want to go with the tangentially interesting topics like Ladrielle (for trading with House Fanpatar for the RoW-road, and also personal interest due to the mists and being lost connectionn) and Hoeth (for our library and also personal interest - he is the center of the myth regarding the Sword of Tlanxla and Ulgu).
I know we're not an Aqshy user but I feel like it would be a shame to not share with the Colleges and also Adela the cool foreign book we have on the topic, or to have them make their own copies and then have to commission translations. Indic is not exactly a common language.
Finally, it bugs me that our Eonir Trade books are incomplete. If we want to trade with them further, these may be very useful.
Edit: Modified my vote somewhat. I suppose linguistics might come more in handy for the Lustrian rubbings, and that we don't really need Ladrielle that much.

Well, those skaven were working off of stolen tech from dwarfs which makes those tech fair game for humans to adopt, so yeah. There might be a few choice bits of them that's already known by the Empire, just buried due to it's likely stolen source that's just now getting to finally see the official light of day.

Turns out that something that's kind of reliable when you use it to hold exploding Skaven bullshit is very reliable when you use it with regular human powder

Would it be ok to offer some suggestions? See if any of them spark any interest?
It feels like we haven't seen much of Belegor for a while, not to mention some of our former dwarven co-workers, so maybe a low stakes meeting with some of them, maybe playing a simple game while they catch up.
Maybe some of the wood elves might be interested in meeting the mysterious human leader of the odd group of Elves, Dwarves, and humans running around. They wouldn't even have to be important, just basic citizens who can offer alternate viewpoints or information about the city/forest/culture.
Or maybe we can see something about Mandred, his schooling or his life as the Emperor's son.
A final option would be doing the next highest voted-for social of the last vote, or adding one additional social pick in a future social vote, both of which would be incredibly fair in my opinion.

@ Boney, srry if this has been brought up, and disregard it if you've answered already, but the machine gun can be destroyed while firing with the equivalent of a petty or at least lesser spell.
How difficult is the 'grounding spell'?

This bit isn't a question but just me musing idly to the thread: I wonder how difficult/practical it might be to have an Azer wizard make an enchanted item that combines one of those disruption spells and an Azer spell for precog-targeting.

Can I just say that I love how genre savvy the colleges are. They're just mad enough to pick the safe, common sense option every time.
I would prefer linguistics to another elf god especially since it's not like we would have any diplomatic issues talking to them while handing them a boon this valuable. I mean think about how the EC of Nuln took that dwarf favor. By contrast linguistics is not only broadly applicable for both us and the library it is applicable next turn on the Lustrian papers which could have a significant impact on the project. I also think the Brights can pay for their own translations, but 1 CF isn't enough to be fussed about so if people prefer it sure.

Being the lab rat is below Mathilde's pay grade. Until it's figured out how one activates carbon, holding your breath and running away is the wiser path.
In that part the region is being referred to, rather than the title.
The right word is aeolipile, but it's named after the Greek God of Wind. I swapped in the Empire's closest equivalent.
Only very briefly. Of course, a few seconds of gravity and inertia operating on fluid mechanics is all you need for a formerly functioning body to no longer be.
Varies heavily. On one extreme is trying to veer a single Warp Lightning cannon off a specific trajectory, on the other is trying to shut down an entire battery from being able to fire on an entire battlefield.

Sophia's issue with magic addiction, if the root cause put forward by Pan is correct, is something that with some luck and a lot effort can be addressed.
I don't think Sophia is quite the clever test of Pan's paper the College was hoping for.
Before this update I'd been swayed by one or two posts about how the age difference and vastly different circumstances between Eike and her mean they would not be friends, and Eike as an implicit link to Mathilde will be seen as a threat.
But eventually, it might be good for Sophia to visit Larelorn. I dunno why I feel this, just vibes, and I hope she's in a place where Eike showing her around won't be scary, even if only in the context of 'Mathilde is linked to many of the large institutions around me already'.

Imo it's entirely sensible that sometimes Mathilde just doesn't get randomly approached in a while, or doesn't seek out more people to compensate for her incredibly uneventful half year xD
I think going for the sixth top voted choice is the best substitute if no inspiration is forthcoming, but also that there doesn't really need to be a strict minimum of six choices or anything like that.
That aside - Sofia is a tiny little bit less afraid of us, yay! I think some insightful people have called the reason she's addicted to magic (kudos to them), and this is, in fact, a great shame how much she's suffered and keeps suffering. I hope Panpan and a few years of peace can help her feel safer.
And Gretel is ROCKING that death aesthetic! And seriously where are our silk sheeeeeeets...

How exactly is this gonna be deployed without everyone involved getting fucking murdered for seemingly 'mutating the enemy with fel magic'? Like, how does the soldier on the ground see a difference between this and the Tzeentch sorcerer who chaos-spawned his buddy?
