In other words, the normal Skaven strategy?

Intrinsic immortality does sound like something that might be specific to perverting the Wind of Death, yeah.
I wonder what the twist on, say, Hysh might be? Might have something to do with mirrors and visual illusions - Light being used to create uncertainty and mislead, instead of illuminating and bringing enlightenment?
Could be one of the principles behind Van Horstmann's Mirror, now that I think about it...

I would like to at least finish an AV enchanted robe before moving on.
It should be two more actions:
1 action: test AV enchanting.
2 action: make new robes.
We wanted new robes anyways.

So in other words, if we see anyone running around wielding Dhar-Hysh like a mad maniac, they are a once-a-century genius that we should do everything we can to recruit, got it.
I propose we develop
Even ignoring the horrific opportunity cost of studying stuff we won't be allowed to use there is a very real danger in acquiring dangerous forbidden stuff from the enemy. That being that it is dangerous stuff in the possession of the enemy.
Studying a Brass Orb isn't dangerous because it has some memetic contagion or because blasting things into the warp is mentally damaging. It is dangerous because if you make the slightest mistake it will kill you. And not in a way that any degree of durability or regeneration will help against.
Stealing books from a vampire infested castle is dangerous because it has a very high chance of resulting in being attacked by vampires. Or stumbling into traps that someone spent decades crafting specificity to screw over Grey Wizards with sticky fingers. Or finding things that look like books but are actually booby-traps.
The original copy of the Liber Mortis is important as much for its lack of horrible curses woven into the pages as for the secrets written in it.
It's called lore of stealth
Mathilde cares about copyrights enough not to steal.
Even from skaven.

Thinking of, the spider silk weavers should be getting their act together by now right? Perhaps we should buy a new wardrobe next time we have a [PURCHASE] action slot.

Technically we don't know if the Brass Orb is lethal, given that the speedrun record for escaping the Chaos Realm is measured in centuries.

Please. The only reason Ranald isn't also the god of Intellectual Property Theft is that the dwarves brush everything under trade secrets and humans haven't invented the concept.
Necromancers are lower then skaven, so they don't count.
I disagree, sorta. I do think using Ulgu+Dhar enough will make you immortal. Being pumped full of magic of any kind seems to make someone immortal.
I had two thoughts. The gatling gun isn't quite a megaweapon, but damn if it isn't deadly:
Ratling Gun
The Ratling Gun is the latest and perhaps most powerful weaponry Clan Skryre has ever invented, a large multi-barrelled death-dealing machine that has the potential to change the very face of warfare in favour of the Skaven race. It can fire up to 100 bullets per minute using its multiple...

Anything that uses the phrase " ungodly amount of firepower" has my attention.
It works well underground( it's arguably more effective in tight tunnels) and is very effective against swarming enemies, and that's basically K8P's biggest threat right now. Overland threats are...less threatening these days. It normally uses a two man team, but we can also have Johann carry it for us, if we want.
Plus, in the event of a war, the two of us would make a hell of a rapid reaction force. Throw in a pair of Shadowsteeds and the concentration of firepower and mobility starts looking downright unfair.
My second thought, well, we have this brass orb lying about, and you can never have too many doomsday devices up your sleeve...
You seem to have moved the goal posts a bit. Mathilde we not contemplating breaking into the Silver Pentacle to steal Neferate's light reading. She was saying 'man it's too bad I did not loot that place before I destroyed it anyway.' which is a fair point. Yes there might be traps but that stands for any sort of infiltration not just looting ones.

She didn't steal that, she just used it to work backwards to an acceptable spell of her own.

Though if we get the chance we are absolutely stealing her Romance Collection. Our Lahmian Fiction section is severely lacking.
Like Ulgumancy would be!
