Honestly I think the emotional numbing works if it's in regard to like, opposing mental spells or dhar/chaos corruption. That's not what the description actually says, of course, but I like the idea that in this one case the typically literal and direct Chamon focuses on metaphor for the purification and hardening of one's heart, that it guards the user against 'changing their heart'.
It doesn't sound like gilding your lungs REMOVES the need to breath it just means you don't suffer any other effects of things-that-aren't-oxygen getting into your lungs, so that wouldn't seem to be what it'd do to the stomach, but also just as a matter of principal my understanding that gilding, as gold is "the perfect metal" gilding turns an organ into a perfect version of that organ. A perfect stomach isn't a stomach that doesn't need to eat, a perfect stomach is rather one that digest EVERYTHING.
Do the elves have much more experience than humans in treating the clinically insane? Genuine question - jokes about Druchii aside, I'm not sure whether or not elves really end up with insanities of the kind that requires constant care very often.
Maybe, elves can spend centuries learning by to heal and can probably diagnose better than a human healer. It be something to look into if Mathilde comes back from elfcation with money.
Before we even start to think of hiring someone with Qhaysh (I assume that's what you mean) to possibly heal the Gold wizards at Frederheim, we'd need to ask whether they would actually be any help when it comes to magically-caused mental problems.
No but the damage done to the cerebral cortex can be repaired here and mister gold wizard can go back to experimenting after some recovery time. Elves can do magic that humans can not and have centuries to orati e their skills . All I am saying it is something to look into.
It should be noted that the apocalyptic winter isn't some random thing, it's Ulric's way to finally win against Chaos. They're basically preppers who think their God is going to nuke their enemies.
Ah but that's the clever bit! Elven psychology is different enough from a human to make their knowledge worthless, and seeing even the vaunted elves fail will drive them deeper into despair and Grandfather Nurgle's arms!Nurgle chiming in to help brainstorm medical practices?

Honestly, it makes a certain amount of sense. In order to most comprehensively break something, it helps to have a deep knowledge of how it works. Vice Versa, specializing in breaking things is a route to learn some of their inner workings.Nurgle chiming in to help brainstorm medical practices? What next, Khorne talking about anger management?
Looking at the quote, it does feel like the requirements for casting high magic would fit with slotting eight precisely measured and constructed enchantments together. Of course, that requires eight wizards with some experience working together in windherding projects. At least the failure state of eight simultaneous miscasts sounds like something much more survivable when said miscasts occur outside any participant's body.
Well, it is going to be used. But your right. The main point of the colleges is to make battle wizards that can stand up to chaos and other enemies of the empire.
And even then we did do service to both the order and the college. We killed plenty of enemies for the empire and its allies and we did and do plenty research to further our understanding of magic.
He explicitly didn't complete the transformation and as such his opponent (Bright Patriarch Thyrus Ghormann) survived the duel with no long term consequences. Gelt is an asshole but not that much of an asshole.
He only didn't complete it because Ghormann yielded. I've read the duel, no part of it made me think Gelt wasn't about to go through with it otherwise.
