Long Term Project Proposal
You know, "enchanted ammunition" is one of those things that keeps coming up and then somebody explains the difficulties and then it goes away again... but clearly the idea is very attractive. It's just that no one has figured out how to do it in a way that's cost effective.
But Mathilde has a special talent for enchanting, doesn't she?
A long term project might be to develop a pistol or rifle that is also an enchanted item... and the enchantment upon it is to briefly enchant its own ammunition, creating enchanted bullets that last just long enough to impact their target and deliver some sort of magical effect (in addition to being able to affect things immune to normal weapons). I know this isn't something Mathilde or anyone else really knows how to do right now, but it seems like the sort of thing that could be a research project in figuring out how to accomplish.
