All jokes aside, Mathilde is getting up to Lord Magister level, which implicitly carries with it the recognition that's she's a unique expert on a lot of topics for the Grey College, or even to the Colleges or Empire as a whole.
"Got a necromancer problem? Got a necromancer with a massive army of undead marching on your city? Not a problem! With just a simple exchange of a grand Imperial favor, Lord Magister Weber will come and erase those pesky undead faster than you can say 'Army Losses Penalty'!

"How does she do something so miraculous that no other mage can? Magic, of course! And you best not inquire any further on that subject. Or else."

I mean, given the grey college, someone has probably enchanted a pistol to be silent before.
Enchant, yes. Rune, no.

It is almost certain that someone in the Grey Collage has the traits, masteries, skills and inclination to enchant a Gun Of Silence. It is also almost certain that they have better things to do than spend their time making such weapons for other wizards.

Point of order it is Greenskin armies, not undead, that Lord Magister Weber erases from existence. The undead things she deletes are collages and castles.
 
Unravel undead armies with this one weird trick! 99 out of 100 Grand Theogonists Hate it!

The Black College thought they were safe, until she happened! We have the whole story!

She destroyed an army of orcs on her way to a lecture! You won't guess how she did it! Hint- it wasn't anti-Waaagh countermagic.

Why would two brothers get into fight, ignore deaths of hundreds of thousands? The truth will shock you!

Lose weight fast while sitting in the shade! You won't believe how easy it is!

Overheard one day in the K8P EIC branch office, when Mathilde was present...

"You are seriously going to sit there and tell me that Ulricans read this stuff?"

"The sales figures are right there. Most of these 'gazettes' don't go to the dwarves or the Undumgi. They go to Ulrikadrin."
 
Can confirm it was website click bait links I was thinking of.

Also overheard in Ulrikadrin:
"These centralised EIC gazettes will be the death of local journalism. Just regurgitating the same canned stories Empire wide!"
"I heard that if you read one, a tracking agent follows you and reports your activity to a central monitor!"

Heh. I didn't mean to imply that it was the EIC that published them, just that they were in charge of shipping and selling them throughout the Karak and the surrounding lands.
 
Heh. Makes me think about the dwarven method of simply carving/engraving the text into thin slabs of non-oxidizing metal, for something that will truly last. Though they probably just have dwarves painstakingly copy text onto new (high quality) paper regularly for all but the most important texts.
Gold leaf. Non-oxidizing, can be beaten extremely thin such that a small amount of metal can store a lot of text.
The problem is some idiot keeps trying to steal it and melt it down for the far lesser cash value.
Then it's just a matter of getting someone that specialises in that kind of thing to modify it. If Runes can't do it, Enchantment probably can.

It just won't last a thousand years.
Now, wherever would we find a skilled, Ulgu using Enchanter who knows Illusion(thats the spell you want to use to remove sound)?
No mirrors around here....
Is there a spell to make something uninteresting? If so you could make the gun and everything it causes to be uninteresting or "a not my problem" Thing so if they see you fire they won't think anything of it. The recent bullet wound is obviously not a problem either.
Take No Heed has a saving throw, and also explicitly fails if you do something attention grabbing, such as shooting a person.

Also said gun would be forgotten by Mathilde the moment she lets go of it.
