Okay, so... Eike still has that thing about drawing attention to herself, right? So hypothetically if Eike were to cast Silence on herself, would the mastery effect prevent her from dispelling it (and getting attention until someone else can dispel it) until the spell naturally wears off?
That's... pretty darned freaky to think about.
Yes, via serenity action.
My guess is she would be able to twist her mind into a knot just right to fool her own spell enough to dispel it.

Speaking of papers, I've updated the bibliography by category post.
I've added AV, both Lizardman papers (under Society—other, because I couldn't decide if they counted as an enemy of mankind or a civilised realm), and the light and jade papers on Elven enchantment methods (we really should write an Ulgu version of that).
If I've missed anything, let me know, but I'm fairly sure it's up to date now.

I think Eike's mastery would be most powerful in the form of an enchantment, say a pair of cuffs, snap those on say an annoying noble in the middle of a ball (while dancing with them just for the drama), put a knife to his back and then order him to move or die, the threat keeps them moving, the spell keeps them from making a fuss and you've just arrested someone in broad daylight under the nose of his guards as long as they don't hear her whisper the threat or see the brief flash of a knife in the press.
Eike's mastery is basically a localised "Somebody Else's Problem Field" on demand. It's kind of terrifying.

Probably evil, unfortunately.

Not quite that powerful- it doesn't stop people's attention naturally falling on someone- but it definitely has some spooky uses.
Potentially hot take: we shouldn't write an Ulgu version of that paper before studying our vampire notes on the Carstein ring. That way might be able to use our paper on the elven enchantment method to launder our insight on enchantments that involve Dhar and Winds.
Aethyric Vitae is erroneously named Aqua Vitae (the work of a rogue spellchecker?)
I've already caught and fixed that, it wasn't spellcheck, just me being dumb and not thinking properly.

I do wonder if between the hopefully soon to be expanding study of liminal realms and Dwarven Runecraft, one could manufacture an artificial tap into the Aethyr leading directly into stable, unfrayed reality? What does this even mean beyond 'not the usual violent and unstable daemon rift'? I'm picturing using liminal realm study to try to develop a more gradual, gentle transition to reality, and runes (and/or maybe Hysh magic?) to shore up reality despite the presence of an aethyric rift, but that's all very vague right now.
And, would creating such a tap be against the articles? It feels like it would be very susceptible to daemonic interference, but I'm pretty sure we've established so long as you aren't deliberately calling them it shouldn't count (look at our previous liminal experimentation which we repeated).

A Penguin Flailing Against The Keyboard Of Life.
Our target audience is a rotating cast of 3-5 lower income journeyman wizards in the village outskirts of an Imperial City who check the publications for clues about how to resolve the latest unlikely phenomena to befall them.

I gotta say, of all the varied hats Mathilde wears "distant, mysterious and unpredictable polymath scholar" is the funniest to me.
Just the idea of this mysterious individual, that lives in a distant land at the edge between "frontier territory" and "semi-mythical lands" and keeps publishing a quasi-constant stream of groundbreaking discoveries on a seemingly random and unpredictable assortment of fields makes me laugh.
What I'm trying to say is, I wholeheartedly support the idea of writing the Book on Nekeharan coinage.
"Damnit Otto, how are we supposed to catch the killer now when our only clue is this old Nehekaran coin, of which we know nothing about?"

Is it a reference to something ?,it sound like a plot of some sort but if it is i don't get it.
Mathilde, popping out of a nearby barrel wearing fanciful merchant's wear and a fake moustache: "Do I have the publication just for you, my fine fellow!"
So personally I am all for the 4 new actions (Orbs + Silk = Finally, Pan = relationship with partner, Seilph + Books = Magic discussion), which really only leaves one action.
I think I might go with sword fights, just to be different.
Alternativly, we could go to the forbidden magic zone and do both Druchii diplomats and Seiph. Really go full in on the "I don't use Dhar but...." line.

Oh yeah, I never replied to this bit. I'm not so sure it would work—based on the other enchanting papers, we'd be co-writing it with every Grey Wizard who even has a passing interest in enchantment—including Algard. Whilst I'm confident we can successfully launder vampiric insights, I'm not sure a paper where we collaborate with the head of our Order is the best place for it.
In mechanical terms, players can spend a fate point to generate a clue when they are stuck.

Dwarf favour never, because we broke the system.
College favour when there is a major waagh to test our book's content against.

Sigmar: "Really, ancient Nehekharan coins? How am I supposed to help them with this?"
Ranald: "..."
Sigmar: "No, I refuse."
Ranald: "Need some luck, Big Guy?"
Sigmar: "No, I'm not owing you any more favors! Not this time!"
Ranald: "It's just that one of my dear, dear friends may just happen to write this little -"
Sigmar: "Aaargh, fine! Go poke Weber again. But I'm not healing any more damn cats for you!"
