The cost of the tap can go up, i just put one to indicate that there should be a cost.
Mathilde also has WAAAGHbane. The cost can go up to whatever is fair.

It is a complete coincidence that the shadowstuff capsule around the rider forms a silhouette of a woman with a broad-brimmed hat.
I know I said repeatedly that it would not make sense to plan the next turn, but there is one thing we can plan for without much interference from the other options: What are we going to teach Eike, not the actions, the actual teaching? I think that is she does a good job at Enchanting this turn we should double down next turn so she can finish up (thanks to her natural alchemist trail she only needs 2/2 to finish up). Otherwise get get back to learning spells so she can get Sounds and that +1 Magic. It will just make her generally more skilled and help protect her since Aetheryc Armor scales with Magic.
At least that is my two cents. Thoughts? Other things she could be doing?

There was a failed plan this turn that had the Hochlander teaching her tradecraft. Maybe something intrigue-related, since there's no way we're not teaching her at least some of that before letting her go.

Encryption. She'll need to be able to read our records once she inherits them.

Throw her at some Shyllans fer some of that there god learnin'.
Because while IRL that sort of thing fucking sucks and I'd oppose such if I actually had any say, in WHF you want to have a high piety score to resist deamons doing mean things at you [source: Mathilde and not drinking from the za-goblet].
And again, the negative side of "Mathilde knows what to teach me" is the risk of Eike deciding that if she is not directed to study something, then it isn't important.
Also tradecraft.

Has the advantage of getting us her intrigue score, I like it.
That is a fair point I had not considered that, it might also get us her actual piety score. I suspect it is rather low given her actions so far.
The whole enchantment thing is probably going to go very well, what with the Natural Alchemist trait she picked up, and I do think that enchantment is a good skill for her to have, but I'm still irked that this is what we picked for Eike's lessons this turn. A year and a half into her Grey Wizard apprenticeship and we have given her no intrigue lessons.
We should use the EIC to set up a spy ring in Nordland and have Eike involved in that next turn.

IIRC was talk about getting her blooded by sending her against an enemy to kill. No consensus was reached on which enemy to send Eike after as people disagreed on which targets would be challenging enough for Eike to gain experience killing but easy enough that there was little danger of her getting killed and the discussion petered out.
I guess we do not have much else to do with the EIC after we get the trade route up. Speaking of that it is kind of funny how much diplomacy we managed to cram into one turn. from getting the fog bridge for the Eonir to getting a favor from Kragg and thus indirectly KaK to killing the Tsar to improve relations with Kislev among other things.
The Mathilde school of diplomacy everyone
I'd like her to get sounds before that for the +1 magic and thus better armor.
You left her luck as Assassin's in her Caster incarnation.

Caster Mathilde totally puled a Medea and summoned up Servants of her own, didn't she.
I can absolutely picture Mathilde summoning alternate Heroic Spirit incarnations of herself. It's the exact combination of competent, effective, deadly, and ego-stroking that fits her perfectly.
Wonder if she could summon Kragg... he probably wouldn't be particularly impressed with whatever mind control is being imposed on them though.

Had a couple thoughts on battle magic from the whole Supreme Patriarch duel discussions.
First, when using invisibility casting battle magic would reveal us. We can act and cast when invisible iirc, back during our Magister exams there were thrown shadow knives while invisible, but the movement of said Ulgu revealed the caster.
Invisibility works because it makes things invisible, because magic. This also applies on the magic inside us, otherwise it would be pretty useless on Windsight, not to mention potentially seeing the magic of the invisibility spell itself. However, disturbances in the ambient Ulgu (and other Winds) are still noticeable, which I imagine would be extremely obvious to any Wizard Lord when their invisible opponent starts channeling the necessary Winds for battle magic.
Could we then create a spell to make all of the Ulgu in an area invisible to others, using this property of invisibility and Warrior of Fog?
This would mean people wouldn't be able to sense us even while invisible and casting battle magic, nor what we're doing with our magic until it's already cast and reality is screaming. Could even interfere with enemy casting efforts if they also use Ulgu; I imagine it's a lot harder to fumble through a spell if you can't see what the magic is doing.
Could try extending the effect beyond Ulgu if the magic interference effect is potent enough, though that's probably too ambitious.
Wouldn't be a very good true stealth spell; any decent enemy caster would notice all that magical energy vanishing from their senses. Malfean stealth is fun too though.

Goblin-hunting with Kazador?
Eike does have pistol training.
They just reprinted UU Counterspell this year.
My bet would be no, or at least not without deep lore of how magic works that we do not have, you are asking to blind someone's mage sense when the very thing we would be using to blind them is a flare to them because it is magic. It is like trying to make someone invisible when all you have are mirrors and lasers.

It'll probably be easier to do the Pall of Darkness windsight action.
Throw down a pall of darkness that no-one can see through, except for us with our enhanced windsight.
You can make the same argument for all Heroic Spirits. Wich is kind of why i don't like Fate very much, it feels weird seeing powerful historical and mythological figures (many of them famous for their ego and pride) obey modern day humans without a second trought.
Realistically, most Servants would just murder their Master at the first chance they get and proceed to do whatever they want.
Summoning in the Fate series feels too risk free for my tastes. But that is just my personal opinion.

That's literally what invisibility does though, my proposal is simply reducing the effect to only magical energy rather than everything, while expanding the target area from an individual to, well, an area.
Good point, suppose it would be superfluous if we can get the same effect from pall of darkness. Potentially another good spell to take apart if we can't develop that functionality on its own though, combining pall with invisibility via our trait.
That is nor what it does though, invisibility uses the higher dimensional thing that is magic to trick mundane senses, so you would either need super magic to blind mage-sense or you would need the skill to make invisibility with mundane light manipulation in my opinion.
