If she gave it much thought, which she very carefully didn't, Mathilde's best guess would be a desire to spend more time with her loved ones that she knows isn't going to be fulfilled because she's got things to do that really need doing.

We don't know if the Second Secret works on warpstone or not. We know it works on Dhar-based spells, but we've only speculated that it might work on warpstone. (Nor do we know what warpstone's structure is like - an investigation that would be preilously hazardous.) There's a good chance it doesn't do anything to warpstone at all.

Seeing that update, it immediately made sense that of course Teclis of all the humans, dwarves, or Elves was the one to make the Orbs of Sorcery if it worked like that.
It's not a matter of magical power, or sheer brilliance or anything like that.
Just the calm, steadfast patience of a man who knows full well what it's like to be almost wholly incapable of any action, and at least this time has an intriguing project that requires watchfulness but not much effort to sit through in the middle of it.
So, another item to the list of things we're never going to do

Idk. It seems like an Internet property of life that it agrees on it's own, but dead things seem to require outside influences- temperature, water or salt, uv light, etc.
You might need an entirely different spell to age something that needs a push to age.
Thought it was kinda cool that we explored which part of Mathilde's mind the shadow was doing it's thinking with.
Eike: so this is the discipline needed to do some of the most high level magic!

I know it's probably pointless to point it out to you, given your interest in necromancy, but Shyish has it's own spell that can do this
A really useful tip I only recently found out about, especially on mobile.
If you go to the top right of a post and there is a little eye icon, that indicates there is invisible text in the post. Click it to convert any invisible text to in-line spoilers (and again to change back to invisible text).

That would be a legal alternative to (and likely the thaumaturgical progenitor of) The Curse of Years.

My sense of time has become a victim of dwarf infection already. In my point of view a few months might as well be tomorrow.
I think it is good that not every single possible research topic becomes an epic endeavour. Mathilde learned a new trick and that's good enough.
OOC sure, that's reasonable. I don't think that invalidates my point about not doing it again though. We did it once, found out it's not worth much, let's do more interesting things. I do not think we should try to achieve mediocrity IC for the sake of balance.
Magister Regimand (Mathilde's Grey Wizard master) thought it was worth the time to go over his arcane mark.
It's expected not every mark will give an amazing result. Especially when the rolls aren't that good. Of course there's always the option of continuing to roll until we hit that super rare, but surely the thread is above gacha madness.
Still there are certainly advantages to getting those marks done even with just mediocre rolls so it's hardly a waste of time. Admittedly I'd probably prefer to spend that AP going to Ulthuan or investigating Mordenheim rather than go for more arcane marks.
Except for Mantle of Mist, the explicit potential trouble with any gas-based weapons makes me want to get rid of that very obvious negative on the character sheet.
... do we have an option to trade an action slot for extra social slots? Because that's big sad. I suppose we could also just look for more actions we can do with people like doing the Nut with Pan this turn.
I'm not saying it's the worst idea we ever had, though I will note that we have the candle to deal with problems like the Mantle of Mist also we er... have never encountered over the last 21.5 years, three major expeditions and one years-long hold reclamation. I think that is a good sign that they are quite rare meaning that it is probably not the most urgent self improvement action to take.
For what it's worth I don't think gatcha madness is a concern, we only have so many marks.

She could not love them so much, if she did not love duty more.
I enjoy the level of detail and craft Boney puts into things like creating the Orbs of Sorcery. I think that's what makes Mathilde's achievements stand out so much and feel so impressive; any quest can do "You roll well and create a legendary artifact" but it takes the prep work and effort that Boney puts in to make those moments feel earned.
Can't wait for the flex. It's getting closer and closer.

I haven't looked it up recently, but if i remember correctly, Regimand looked kinda unsettling with his untamed smoke beard.
He might have had to tame it just to be able to socialize.
But also, I've had my beard in one style for more than a decade. The couple of times i've been clean shaven (entirely by mistake) it always feels like a different person in the mirror.
Not even wizards are exempt from vanity and/or self image issues.

The main thing this means in terms of immediate impact is that we'll likely have ways of mitigating the Forgettable Arcane Mark if we happen to get it, which might make questers more open to high-power magic experimentation that they've historically shied away from.

Fun fact: of our four Arcane Marks, only one of them was gained from a mechanical miscast (our most recent one, gained on T37). Two of them were fluffed as miscasts, but they were actually from rolling high, not rolling low. See my rundown here for details.Vote to learn more battle magic then so we risk miscasting
So we don't need to deliberately court miscasts, we just need to keep being awesome at magic, which I think is an easier sell for the thread.
