You aren't interested in a magical ability to communicate? Familiars can communicate but this isn't a familiar relationship. Studying this could allow for a breakthrough in long range communication. Meanwhile for Ulgu tongs I give it good odds to just make more dhar. I am very uninterested in that. You could even say that working on ulgu tongs is at the very bottom of my desired research list.
OR at least strongly overlapping venn diagrams.

...what did we even do with that fucking chicken, I forget.
If they had a theoretical supergunpowder it'd be right there alongside it. As long as you can vouch for its stability, it's not a problem.
Heideck ended up with it. It eats the bugs in his hideout and the eggs taste fine, even if they are grey.

Not interested at all, the We is a singular entity spread over many nodes. It's one soul spread wide, I expect there to be zero way to replicate the effect. You've already made it clear you don't care about Ulgu tongs and think it's not viable. *shrug* as to your comments about it just making more Dhar, sure that's a possibility I've always said it could be a dead end. I just highly doubt it because we've seen that Winds interact with out making Dhar so there pretty much has to be a way to do it manually. Nothing that happens in nature is entirely impossible to replicate if you can work out how and have the correct tools. We communication isn't something we can replicate with out learning how to make souls.
Ulgu tongs is an easier prospect than coming up with a viable radio off what is a soul based hive mind.
Also more importantly if we want a magical radio Wolf is right there.

We would just follow up with
"Magical Serendipity; or how to miscast in order to be stalked by your own Wisdom Asp"
Also, hell yeah, finally a way to get them to farm for Mathilde Favor.
Speaking about serendipity, some people wondered (not remember if it was here, maybe reddit?) about how magic would evolve in the setting, like martial arts just go from "hit with fist" to "hit with stick" to "hit with stick like this", but magic could not work that way, so what if magic as we know it are just fortituous, standarized miscasts?
Miscasts are magic partially reverting to the chaos that it originated from. Spells are magic obeying the nature reality has imposed on it.

I mean, they clearly aren't doing their jobs properly. The wrong people keep dying.
Don't worry though, we can fix that.

Oh, that's why I got mentioned. I couldn't remember which way I voted here, and I hadn't stumbled into any discussions that were more Aqshy than Hysh, so- Well, now I know.
The roots of the elves magical tradition, which the Collegiate system is a dumbed down version of, apparently dates back to before the Winds of Magic even existed, when the Old Ones taught them how to produce supernatural effects from the energy drawn from the leyline network - which may have been something very similar to snake juice. As a result, it's unlikely that it's just standardised miscasts, rather than something adapted from a magical science. That's why the arcane languages exist, they're apparently descended from the primordial language of the Old Ones which was made to allow control of the Aethyr.

Ranald bless him. Heideck has been such a bro to us.
Kinda want to social action him once we eventually get that Temple up.

Yea it's worth pointing out the Slaan taught the Elves, and the Slaan were taught magic before the break down of the warp gates. Sorta kinda makes me want to learn Anoqeyen and then go to Lustria to talk to the SLaan but who has time for that.
Yes, with the caveat magic before the Gates fell is probably a very different thing, as the Winds of Magic didn't exist, so both the Slann and elves would probably have had to learn to adapt their techniques from using pure Aethyric energy to using the Winds.
I get the impulse but I'd say there is better than even odds the lizardmen would kill us out of hand before we would even lay eyes on a Slann
I mean, one of the options for spending a Great Deed is a Lab-Ship...
K8P first tho.

True enough, but we do have a source of that pure energy in hand.
Generally they aren't quite so kill happy there are human colonies in Lustria iirc.
I mean, there have been complaints that we've been doing to much murdering. I don't know if I quite agree with that, but I'm totally up for a few research turns. Polish of spells for magic, and start mixing up the gunpowder for our academic bombshell.
And I'll note that if snake juice become the next strategic resource, we'll have one hell of a favor source. Given that it may well be able to recharge ancestor runes, it'll probably work for dwarf favor as well. And hell, probably even elf favor.
I don't know if three/four revolutionary works would mean a Great Deed, but it certainly would amount to that as far as the Colleges are concerned. Hell, any one probably would. Together, we could expect our name to be spoken in one breath with Volans and Teclis.

Yes, but to find Slann we would have to actively poke them rather than stick to the coast.
Here is a thought for the thread:
In twenty to thirty turns Wizard Lord Mathilde will likely be the head of a full Branch College. She will hold a position equal to, if not slightly above, that of Algard. She will be the one deciding what people Need To Know and how much benefit of the doubt can be risked. At that point the fact that she has the original Liber Mortis will cease to be a potential sword of Damocles and will instead by just another of the many deepest darkest secrets held by the Grey College.

And it may not be viable. Learning how a spread out soul communicates though can be very useful in the study of what souls are. And as you say in your post "Nothing that happens in nature is entirely impossible to replicate if you can work out how and have the correct tools." According to you then, the effect of the We can be replicated. Even if it is bound in an enchantment long range communication is world changing.
There is also the assumption that the communication is only possible because of the shared soul. This may very well be the case but I feel it is worthwhile to check.
You have made your stance on ulgu tongs clear and I think that line of thinking is putting the cart before the horse.
