Neferate is faster than Abhorash in lore. She is one of the fastest things 'alive'.

Probably evil, unfortunately.

What does WS10 even mean in real terms? 'I can shave the wings from a fly in flight with my eyes closed using a blunt and rusty greatword'?

That sounds pretty good then. Would the item only have 1 'charge'?
Most likely. The quirks of how a spell gets translated into an enchanted item are unpredictable and partially dependent on dicerolls.
Would anything stop us from just buying more of them if we have the favor to spend so we can get more max speed bursts per engagement?

Can we?
I had gotten the impression that favour was very much personal improvement and magical items for your self thing, as we can't spend dorf favour that isn't directly for our own benefit as an example.
That is fair, but sometimes you really need that maximum kill so as not do die and abruptly end said story. For instance if we were planing to clear out a nest of Lahmians or blood dragons having more rounds of super speed sounds really good.
You can't spend Dwarf favour on giving the holy secrets of their most venerated Ancestor-Gods to people they've never even heard of. There's a middle ground.
This is falling right into the 'we are good at killing so we gotta kill things' > 'we are killing things all the time so we gotta get better at killing' cycle that people were worried about with Branulhune.

Order enough magical help to turn that place into a pile of ashes!
Not "even" Abhorash, then. Just Exalted Greater Daemons it is.

Weapon skill isn't speed, It's the ability to read a battle/fight and intercede with force of arms. Speed is Initiative. Speed of light gives you ws10 because you're so crazy fast but there are otherways to reach that point.
I don't think so... I mean I'm more on the side of researcher Mathilde than assassin Mathilde, it's just that it being Warhammer and all I'd like to stack the deck on killing very dangerous things when necessary without taking the horrific risk that is battle magic.
Johann doesn't have 'first name basis with Kragg the fucking Grim' dwarf rep. And I was referring to people who were trying to get the Rune of Valaya mass-produced for random apprentices.
One time use vs reusable item. The item is the more efficient use of favor.

GM said that a Speed of Light item would most likely be one use. It depends on a die roll.

If you need that amount of firepower all the time, you have fucked up somewhere and no amount of reusable firepower is going to help. That or you are beyond help.
One use before recharge yes, my point was that we could just buy two of them for double the speed burst, which is where the conversation veered in the direction of narrative dangers posed by hyper-focus on combat.
Exactly. Additionally, it encourages power gaming and consequent out of control power creep which is the quickest way I know of for killing a quest and any enjoyment of it.
Actually, I have a question that was bothering me for some time. The Sylvania campaign and Drakenhof destruction was ordered by Elector Count Van Hal.
Shouldn't the dwarf favor ensuing from it, been given to his heir/ The Stirland Elector Count office / Stirland itself/ spread among more of the participants than just Mathilde?
Could you expand on this? I'm not seeing the logic. I could see the situation where two Speed of Light bound items are expended defensively against Eshin assassins for instance and 'Two Eshin assassins attack you' is hardly beyond the realm of possibility.
