If it helps, I know for a fact that if you submit fully- and well-written stories to papers like that complete with a selection of pictures, they'll probably publish it, even if it's about how awesome you are and how good a job you're doing.

Hm, that's true. @Boney , if Sounds is learned first, does that decrease the risk on Relatively Simple spells further down the vote list? Obviously they're still going to be riskier than the easier grade either way, and miscast chance while learning the spells is never 0, but just checking.

Yes. I'll do a reasonable amount of rearranging if Sounds is near the top, though.

That's more a community newspaper sort of thing, and nobody's managed to inflict that upon the Colleges yet.

[X] [PORTATIV] Portentiv
I do like this name, nice and short, my only quibble being that portentive is an actual word, albeit long out of fashion, and thus is likely to lead people to miss the portmanteau of portentous and portative.

The definitions said:
1. Portentous; prophetic; acting as a presage.
2. (Grammar) Indicating that something is likely to happen in the future.

I didn't notice that it was a defined word. I just thought it was a portent pun.

It sure is a thing that indicates that something is likely to happen in the future, though.

So, an apparently contradictory blend of avoiding spells that are Mastered precisely so that they can be taught and avoiding Mathilde's masteries in enchantment so they won't be. Which of course, is no contradiction if you consider which skills M considers are her best, but are not if you consider, oh, a certain super-weapon that annihilates armies or a staff that makes battle magic not battle magic.

Which is part of the delight in making people think you are just a magical nerd that can maybe fast-draw pistols* when you are somehow a human Shadowdancer**
* i really wanted to stunt of elves out of nowhere before the elf-olympics, i don't think they've ever seen Mathilde with a sword
** or an analog, if Loec is not Ranald

The map is not only a very useful spell it's a spell Mathilde never got around to learning in its current format.

So Mathilde can't teach it and can potentially even learn it.
 
Belated thought: Given just how appropriate it is on a deep level that Dhar should cause a shift to the minor key that I have to wonder how much a part Dhar Insight ended up playing into that at all.

Because thinking over the mechanics of how Dhar works, and how the minor key works, It feels like something so elegant that it either came out of the most basic level of understanding, or was the work of a master.

It'd be funny if there was a little rabbithole where every person who looks at a Portentive Organ is struck by it's workings proportional to how much they know.

So the average wizard wonders "Hunh, how did they make the Dhar detection work. Oh, neat."
The average dark mage is going "Wait, no, how did they make the Dhar detection work?"
And the actual old vampire, very experienced necromancer, or other master dark mage with the inclination to study one is thinking "Oh, this person gets it. Why the hell would a proper dark mage work on a project like that?"
