Get extremely lucky on a miscast, acquire Mark of Ulgu. (Can also kill us or make our face impossible to remember or a bunch of other dangerous things magic is notorious for.)
well, no. I am fairly sure boney has said we can't improve any further with the 'learning spells' method.
unless you mean the high chance of miscast, but then iirc, a wizard can just choose to miscast. they won't, it's a stupid idea. but they can.

Learning and using Battle Magic was the WoG I think but I can't find it atm.
I don't think it was meant in the context of Mark of Ulgu at any rate. IT is about pushing your magic.

If we went up against the guy who tried to pull Final Transmutation, I'd vote to just let the spell hit us specifically so the belt burns it out of the idiot's brain. Outside of that sort of scenario, I'd say no to wearing the belt. And no to challenging in the first place.
Battlemagic was specifically called out as a way to get more ulguy. Finishing off our normal spell book doesn't help but battlemagic is special.

Once it's cast there's no spell left to dispel. It's been made explicit that it's two separate spells in this quest- one to turn into a dragon, and one to turn back. If all it took was dispelling it to revert to human, you wouldn't need the second.

Ooh. Now I'm curious who Thorek considers the most charming.
And Elrisse.
And Hatalath.
And Niedzwenka.
And Cadaeth.
And Egrimm.
...Whoops. That's everyone I can't already guess myself.
As for the rest, Aksel liking Zlata and Zlata liking Aksel seem like sure enough guesses. Tochter is bound to appreciate Cadaeth's charm, even if it isn't outright attraction. As for Mathilde herself, it's either Cadaeth or Egrimm, with Niedzwenka as the runner up, judging purely by my memory of the vibes I've felt from thread participants, myself included.
But joking aside, Thorek is in fact the one I'm most curious about, in the hope that his reaction in this hypothetical scenario would not just be grumbling about how both Elgi and Umgi engage in utterly foolish games and contests.
Aww. I'll try it myself then.
Thorek actually enjoys Elrisse, though she wouldn't notice. His reaction to the question was grumbling about non-Dawi foolishness though.
Elrisse hates the question. She thinks the correct answer is Sarvoi. After all Sarvoi has the most self knowledge and picked himself. And yeah, he ticks all the boxes, as far as she can tell from experience.
Hatalath used an Eltharin nickname that could theoretically apply to a full half of the participants, depending on how you interpret it.
Niedzwenka considers both Zlata and Hatalath for completely opposite reasons. She picks the one she's actually attracted to. Max and Johann are also quite fetching, but alas, they are not eligible for this little contest.
Cadaeth knows she's the most charming (it's her job to be) but isn't as gauche as Sarvoi and thus doesn't say it out loud.
Egrimm likes Mathilde, but doesn't think it expedient to admit it here, since she's his boss. No, this isn't wishful thinking at all. I don't know what you mean.
Zlata and Aksel just look at each other and smile. They've been an item for a while now and have made it all but official towards every other Project member. Except for Mathilde. Obviously the Grey Wizard already knows. And evidently approves, or they wouldn't have been sent on that little two person excursion together.
Tochter unabashedly says Cadaeth. Those momentary frustrations during the ritual creation only made her seem even more charming.

Now I'm picturing a Bright Wizard who made a lot of connections through being wizard-y bringing in a regiment of State Troops into the duel under the same argument.
The thing about the Moot is that halflings were coexisting with human tribes that would become the Empire long before Sigmar became a glint in his father's eye. Furthermore, they don't have much military power and as such are not particularily threatening to other imperial actors. Neither is true for the Eonir.
Yeah, that was one thing colledges should not have copied off Elf Wizard Dad.
Wolf. And it ain't close.

Also halflings are not... what's the word? Better Than You (TM).
Seriously objectively in most tasks one would care to name the average elf is better than the average human, their craftsmen are more skilled, their politicians are more polished, I bet their farmers grow tastier crops. Humans win the numbers game, but that does not matter if you bring an elf to the electors' meet. On anything like an even playing field the elf would have an outsized impact. This all adds to the fact that the EC in general have an incentive to not expand the vote at all, since any new vote dilutes their bargaining power.

Alarielle's entry in 5th edition specifically says she carries no weapons or armor, but in 8th edition she's stated to carry a hand weapon.
There's no mention of the Fey Enchantress carrying a weapon in 6th, and she doesn't in Total Warhammer, but in 5th she had a sword, and her model is shown carrying (but not actually wielding) one.
Miao Ying and Zhao Ming don't carry any weapons in Total Warhammer, though their brother, Yuan Bo, has a sword called Dragon's Fang (fun fact, the Reikland Runefang is Dragon Tooth)
Yes, but the Miao and Zhao deal with melee combat by dispelling the magic that keeps them from being dragons.
Yup. And so is an idea of an immortal elf occupying some other important position to lesser imperial nobles. Halflings on the other hand don't have this issue. They may be somewhat longer lived then humans but not by that much.
The elves of don't need an elector vote. They need an embassy, ideally one in both the capital of Nordland and in the capital of whatever Elector Count is currently emperor. The problem is they just assume the humans will remember all the treaties. They need someone to rotate through the embassies to continuously reminding the mayflies that the treaty exists.

"Your taking a toad with you into battle..?"
"I made friends with him using my wizard power back in swamp town. He'll help me with magic"
"...Well, i suppose not to different from a familiar...sure?"
"Great! Blast em Kroak!"
"That's a lot of magi-BY THE GODS"

I'd pay to see that. Slann being tourists across the Old World.
He just has blank gold plates that he prints pictures on with magic.

There's one that might be already.
https://warhammerfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Ulha'up?so=search
Fun trivia- a Slann character named Ulha'up first appeared in 2nd or 3rd edition as a 'Prince of the Slann' traveling with a group of Slann warriors out to take revenge on the Bretonnians for eating frogs.
This was back when the rest of the Lizardmen didn't exist and the Slann were instead walking frog-people that were more like the other races as opposed to the fat toad WMDs they are now.
I mean, Magnus establishes a precedent that you don't technically need to be an elector to be elected. So in theory I guess an elf could already get elected? Good luck being magnus 2.0 though.
