Probably not. If the rune actually cared about physics, Mathilde's arm would shatter every time she hit something with it, so it probably negates that somehow.

Well, we do know that it will allow use of non-Ulgu effects on Ulgu-enchanted things, which could be useful. Uncertain but unlikely it would allow storing other-wind spells in an Ulgu Matrix, as useful as that would be.
(The already approved idea was using Ghur Master's Voice on an animal with a Ulgu Matrix+contained spell... useful spells would be Mathilde's mastery-enhanced Dread Shadows or Universal Confusion.)
The bolded seems to have got mangled. I have no idea what words should be there.
Which still means that, if your hypothesis is correct, we have absolutely no need to train up to earn a permanent invitation, which was my point.

Who knows. But there's a decent chance it couldn't carry that rune in the first place if it was simple steel.

Sounds like you want an ax, then.
Especially since several Grey Magister+ wizards were involved in the creation of said superweapon, so not knowing about it implies that in that Negaverse, someone is playing silly buggers with his assignment....I'm shocked that nobody commented on that.

The fact that he's being asked to investigate Mathilde about how she holds to the vow of poverty, when IC we've been told what we're doing is AOK by the bursar herself, definitely makes the whole thing more suspicious.
He's there for the money, specifically, so no need to know. From my reading, he doesn't know about the Black College either.

The way I see it, although far too many people have seen the operation of the Eye of Gazul for it to be truly secret, K8P's position of "in the ass end of nowhere" means that it's actually pretty hard for news to spread out from it - and since the actual details have a big fat CLASSIFIED stamp on them, it doesn't strain credulity for a Grey Perpetual in Hochland to not know the specifics of how Mathilde cleared a Waaaagh, but quickly surmise that the tower is a superweapon when arriving and comparing eyewitness accounts and what their own magic senses are telling them.
He definitely doesn't know about the Black College, that was slapped with a Top Secret classification straight from the Emperor's desk.

Literally ever resident of K8P knows something is up with Mathilde's tower (or at least, some big project she's involved in) that let it turn an invading Waaaagh to ash, so there's zero point in not telling him since he'll learn about it anyway. And more to the point, telling him about it keeps him from wasting any effort looking in that direction for money oddities. A competent briefing should include any important non-classified background information about the area, and the existence of the Eye (if not its exact functionality) definitely qualifies, as would things like the We.
Alakazam's little necromancy prep school, meanwhile, is a completely different matter unrelated to K8P or Mathilde's money in any way, and is a topic that could be very damaging to the colleges if news of its existence leaked. It makes sense not to brief him on that topic.

So I'm rereading the wiki section on the fall of Eight Peaks.
I think that gas mask Johann stole could be really useful to reducing Dwarf casualties across the old world, if we can get it copied, and accepted for use on the sort of scale it'd need to be.

We'll need to remove/replace any warpstone components, figure out a work-around for the fact dwarves have massive beards that keep it from sealing, and then take a few centuries of testing to get it up to dwarf standards, but in theory at least you're right.
as long as it actually works properly.
When it comes to Skaven safety equipment 'keep you alive until after the battle' is 'good enough'.

That's the standard when it comes to safety equipment for other skaven. Your own gear has to be the absolute best available.

Hazmat suits would get around the beard issue...

Those are kind of unwieldy to move around in though, especially if you wanted armour on top, and they're absolutely horrible when it comes to heat and stamina issues. I've seen fairly fit people come out of them absolutely dripping with sweat even in relatively cool weather- I don't even want to imagine what it'd be like trying to run and fight in one.
I'd say it's 50/50. Either the best around, or none because you're not an idiot-fool.
Dwarves can probably handle that better than humans, but such suits still wouldn't be popular with anybody who wasn't actively being attacked by Clan Skyre. The real problem would be getting them to adopt it instead of sticking with whatever solution they already use, even though it is probably runecraft and therefore logistically hellish.

-Beard decorations worth the time of unknown.
-A mouthpiece and a nosepiece that seal tightly with a looser fit around the chin.
-Masks enchanted with hammerspace, like algard's desk. Of course we'd have to build a machine to automated the enchanting process. But this is by far the best solution

The mouth and nosepiece idea could work, but it'd still be uncomfortable and I'm honestly not sure if you could get it to seal properly (or at least consistently). In real life one solution for people who don't want to shave their beards is positive air pressure systems- air is pumped into a hood that fully encloses the head, coming either from an external source or through a carried filter/fan device, and that creates an air-flow out of the edges of the hood that stops anything from getting in and means you don't need a tight seal- but we'd need to completely invent that from scratch (as I doubt the skaven gear uses that principle), and I'd be wary about trusting it with something like warpstone poisons regardless.-Beard decorations worth the time of unknown.

Wouldn't be surprised if that "Unstoppable Force" rune applied on every atom in the weapon individually in order to keep it's coherency.

In WW1 they had some weird gas masks, including these leather hoods with a drawstring you'd tighten around the neck and glass eye pieces. Only problems were that the eye pieces absolutely wouldn't stay properly in front of your eyes, and if you tightened the drawstring too much you could choke(and sometimes people wouldn't tighten it enough because of comfort issues, and would get gassed anyway)
A little like this
But different
A leather hood, with a special shape allowing for a beard pouch inside the mask, and a respirator attached by hose would probably work best for Dwarves. Maybe use an elastic drawstring to make sure the seal is decent? Do dwarves use elastic or is rubber a purely Skaven thing?

Having a really great time right now
It's just the blood of a Wisdom's Asp, isn't it? Have daemons never bled in the material world before?
Just to remind everyone, Asnarnil's memoirs are super popular in Elfland, specifically because the Phoenix King forbade it.
Admittedly, Byrrnoth got his job by cutting his way out of a sea dragon's guts, not through stewardship and statescraft. But 25 is nothing to sneeze at.
I believe that normally, daemon blood and body parts banish when the daemon is slain and sent back to the Warp. Because normally daemons are slain, rather than get captured in some ridiculous contraption.
