She didn't go into it. A more mundane possible explanation is stage make-up, Gabriella has hinted at being a thespian (though that might have been just to fuck with Mathilde).
Assuming you mean make it a teleportation tower, yes, it was one of the options last time a tower was built. Though it will require R&D and AP to get it up and running.
The Rune they got hit with is supposed to work by making Dwarves even more Dwarf-y. Even acknowledging that it happened would be opening a Pandora's box of debate on what it means to be Dawi that will last decades minimum.
Overwork taken before the Expedition won't cause a malus until after it, it won't automatically kick in on midnight of the 1st of Nachgeheim.

Oh Abel, the infection isn't just spreading throughout Mathilde, it's advancing on every Umgi in the Karak-8-Peaks! And ikely to other species as well, only at a slower rate due to their lesser mutability.
Quick, we have to evacuate the We before my babies turn into hairy eight-legged dwarves! We must save their unique their'ness while we still can!
Well...humans are prone to becoming other things after large doses of magical effects...

Hah, Pickle was right I did need to elucidate.
I meant, could we use the far sight tower as a jumping off point for investigating utilising windherder. The reason people want to do it is for the Karak Mapping project in real time. So what ever we could do to future proof the tower for that usage in mind whether by windherder means or not is something we'd presumably want to try for.
It'd be set up in such a way that it could later be worked into something else, but the way I'm envisioning it currently, by itself it'd be Ulgu-only. Is there some other-Wind utility you had in mind for working into it?
SuperSonicSound
Shadowmancer of the Shadow Cabal
I believe the idea is to utilise it inconjunction with the poly severic map variant the fire wizard made so we'd want to try and keep that option open.
That's definitely something you can do, but the variant is lesser magic, using it wouldn't be Windherdy.

Is that a bad thing? And does this debate preclude casting the Rune on more Umgi outside of battle?
SuperSonicSound

Out of curiosity, does that mean all lesser magics can be used by any wind?
It's not that there are eight variants of the lesser magic spell for every wind?

Reasonable fallback.
All the Dwarves that would be busy debating are currently busy keeping the Karaz Ankor alive, and one possible conclusion of the debates is that Kragg should be expelled from the Cult of Thungni for using the blessings of the Ancestor Gods on non-Dawi. And no testing can begin until the debates are concluded.
Depends on the spell, there's some of both.

Mostly I'd want to be integrating Celestial stuff for improved scrying. Finding Divination would be particularly useful, as it'd be an obvious way to add "beacons" of sorts that'd substantially improve the auto-mapper and teleport-tower proposals.
That's for the overall mapping project, not the Far Sight tower.

Hmm. I might have an incorrect image of the Far Sight tower - is it basically a mundane telescope with fancy lenses, or does it see around corners? I was thinking that, if it was the kind of thing that saw around corners, Celestial integration would make it a lot better at that.

@BoneyM how big of a news is it back in the Colleges that Mathilde is having regular conversations with an Emperor Dragon? Regimand's reaction seems to indicate that it'd astonish even Lord Magisters. Since Cython is all for acquiring new knowledge, can we farm some College Favors by making introductions?
[ ] [TOWER] Far Sight
Filled to the brim with refraction cantrips, this tower would allow anyone in it to see in detail any point within line of sight. 2 College Favours.
It can't see around corners. It's on top of a mountain, you'd need to be projecting reflections at tens of kilometers minimum to get any practical use out of that, and that's a huge ask for even the simplest of spells.

Ah, oops. Fair enough.
In that case, yeah, Celestial integration would be useful for the mega-MAPP but not so much for the telescope tower. I could see us working with a Celestial magister to improve image quality by implementing precognitive adaptive optics and lens-steering, but I'm not sure that's an efficient project to use it on.

Have I mentioned before that we need an Existential Dread emoji? Because this makes me think we need an Existential Dread emoji.
I can not see that ending any way but in tears.
Cython isn't for acquiring new knowledge. Cython is for solving puzzles. It only wants new knowledge in a single narrow and specific area at any given time, and has no interest in giving any knowledge away in exchange. It's quite correctly of the opinion it can get those books just by being an Emperor Dragon and hinting that everyone would rather have a grateful and occupied Emperor Dragon for a neighbour, rather than a bored and frustrated one.
As for how big the news is, the point of comparison for dragon-related accomplishments is Dragomas, who still has Mathilde beat on that front.
Holy shit...if not for Kragg being well...Kragg, that'd be instant expulsion?
Hmm...might be interesting to use a Lesser Magic as an interface point for other effects, like an Azyr scrying outputs to a MMAP which is read by a separate Chamon effect to 'print' it onto a sheet of metal.
Something for later pokery I suppose
It's kind of a moot point since anyone with an Anvil of Doom has enough status to shield themselves from immediate consequences of that sort of 'misuse', but yeah, it's not the sort of thing the Guild of Runesmiths would be happy with if you put them in a situation where they couldn't pretend not to see it.

Huh. I guess someone has been poking the Undumgi infection then. I'd been worrying that it had just been forgotten in the face of more pressing concerns like not dying to hordes of Orcs or Skaven. Perhaps Kragg has been keeping an eye on them? It's something he caused after all.

I wonder how many people thought letting Mathilde go on the K8P-Campaign was allowing her to get it out of her system?
