I would like to help her polishing for Magister by looking into those shrooms with her, if it goes well, those would be nice to have under her belt imo.
He'll be trying again as soon as his eyes aren't open wounds. That should only be a few weeks, frankly; maybe a month or two. He'll definitely be going in the next turn.
With Johann, we can't really do anything to speed up his recovery; healing magic can't be safely used on his eyes for several years, but he can try the ritual again as soon as they're fully scarred over. Basically, we're stuck waiting on that and don't have any way to reduce how long it'll take. What we probably can do, however, is help him out during the recovery period so he's not quite so crippled during it.
Eh... Panoramia's in absolutely no hurry to get herself promoted, and she's got her job well handled at the moment. Not a lot we can really do there that'll actually be useful and appreciated- in her position, 'Magister' is just a fancy title with no real value.
Regarding Johann, I'd actually prefer to not spend an action helping him - he has wolf-rats to assist, I'm presuming wolf will be ok with being his seeing eye dog (that can talk!) on occasion, and as further argument, the man has the pride of someone who has succeeded in a sink or swim environment - though I'm not going to argue too hard against helping our (temporarily) blind friend on principle now, I'll argue instead as to why the things I want more are better...
Mushrooms in a curry or stir fry, or lightly fried by themselves with garlic and butter, are absolutely delicious. Raw, it very much depends on the type- chestnut and white mushrooms work pretty well, but I'm not so keen on some others.Regarding Johann, I'd actually prefer to not spend an action helping him - he has wolf-rats to assist, I'm presuming wolf will be ok with being his seeing eye dog (that can talk!) on occasion, and as further argument, the man has the pride of someone who has succeeded in a sink or swim environment - though I'm not going to argue too hard against helping our (temporarily) blind friend on principle now, I'll argue instead as to why the things I want more are better...
...I really do hope Wolf helps Johann on his own initiative.

Regarding Panoramia; I totally agree. She's ok with not being Magister, it gets her nothing from her pov.
I'm just really interested in those 'shrooms, and am hoping to pitch the idea to the "pro magister" groups and different people who are "pro 'shrooms" so that they consolidate on this compromise position so we can get it voted in (because it will help with her magister test if the 'shrooms action goes well when she gets round to it)
Tell, me reader, don't you love 'shrooms?
I'm actually not big fan, they're alright now as an adult, but mostly have them fried (though garlic makes everything better). Hated them as a kid though.
The one spell just specifies needing to touch the object at least.
FFS Johann!Johann and Wolf don't share a spoken language.
He speaks Reikspiel and Bad Reikspiel, whatever that means.FFS Johann!
But no, I genuinely though Johann could speak Lingua Praestantia, the language of the Colleges of Magic, too. @BoneyM sorry to bother you, but could you confirm?
Inflexible Magic, eh.
Got the spirit of it right still though!
Thing is, we have exactly zero IC justification for doing so. I don't think we even know Kragg used a rune on them, let alone what it does and how it works. And even if we do learn about it IC... well, honestly? Kragg would be far better suited to investigating the consequences than we are. We know next to nothing about runelore in general and actually nothing about the specific rune in question, while he's the greatest living master of the art.
Hence why we need to train him in
"OH SHIT! What is that colosal void, like a gaping, hateful wound into the very fabric of magic!?"
He probably needs some reminding too.
I mean, in case we risk Mathilde ending up in the latter situation, we do have a solution.
I mean, Johann has basically memorized two or three spells (Tale of Metal, Breach the Unknown, and the super-coordination one), while all the other stuff he does has been alchemy/engineering/melee combat. That doesn't really count for 'knowing' lingua praestantia.
