Voted best in category in the Users' Choice awards.
They're all arriving at different times, so it will take some zig-zagging but you can manage all of them.
Next time towers are worked on I'll have a 'batteries for the other four Winds' option.

Now, guys. Let us not forget the most important fact that the spell's naming contest has already been "won", and that perfect name is
Rite of Way

I think it'd be fun to do all three of these. Traveling with the Winter Wolves at the same time as we're traveling with the Knights of Taal at the same time as we're doing meet-and-greet with the Expedition Wizards.

All the other generals said it was daft to lead a cavalry charge across a swamp, but I did it all the same, just to show them! It was a brilliant success.
Or from the other side:
Impossible! I have no idea how they got there, it would take some kind of magical genius to...MATHILDE!!!!!

I will say, for spell name:
[ ] Spell name - Mathilde's Rite of Way
Because MRoW 😺
And it's a Battle Magic spell, well worth putting one's name to as it's quite a feat to invent these!

We still need to learn how to hide a steam tank behind a small sapling before we can start riffing on CREED!!!

It's funny how this one spell, if we could pass it to others, could would probably do a lot to make Grey Wizard Knights a thing, if only in some third, likely internal college classification as dedicated attachés to Knightly Orders.
Would probably need to lower it down to FC tho.

Whee! The spell worked, worked well, and we can probably refine and improve it further from here! All in all, I'd call that a ringing success.
For the mushroom actions, that was a pretty damn good result. I'd personally have liked to bring along all four types of mushrooms we have prepared, on the off-chance we get journey(wo)men from other colleges showing up, but I can understand why Mathilde only took the azyr batch. And when it comes to Belegar, I think the conversation definitely shows just how annoying trying to nail down a definitive offender is- I especially liked Mathilde's comment about 'Jan Jansen' and 'Max Mustermann'.

Consider: Given the way the Rite of Way, is a conveyor track of portable road (given how the energy is "sent out, and then returned on a riptide") created and powered by the magic of mist, one of a particularly punny and fuzzy logic persuasion might argue that Mathilde just did invent the steam tank.
Likewise, given the way it's meant to be ground hugging it could, in fact, be hidden behind low terrain features.
EDIT: Seriously, though, I was about to comment on this before you posted this, because I found the spell mechanism's similarity to the principles of tank tracks to be pretty neat. Only instead of carrying a single vehicle, it's an entire mobile road.
Makes one wonder if some non-battlemagic variation might someday exist that only covers a single carriage or chariot.

Maybe? The problem is we currently have only one ingredient that's guaranteed to be able to soak up winds, and to get proper cuisine you're going to need quite a few more than that. Though with that said, if it does turn out to be possible then I'd love to read a scene of Mathilde sitting down to a meal where everything is crammed with ulgu.

Giving the scheduled vote thing a whirl, everyone should see a banner telling them when the vote will open.
Yeah, I mixed up hours and minutes at first, so it was initially scheduled for just after midnight.

You know I have to wonder how Belegar is going to get across Mathilde's findings to the other dwarf kings.
King of Barak Var: So what did your loremaster find?
Belegar: *rattles off all the possibilities and conditionals that Grey Wizard paranoia could muster and the reasons for them mostly rooted in weird manling magic*
King of Barak Var: Ow... my head! How do you sleep at night with that rattling around?
Belegar *deadpan* Beer, lots of beer

Very neat.
I do worry if too many changes will mean the site will became unsupported by older mobiles tho.

"So, it could be Marienburg, it could be the Empire framing Marienburg, it could be Marienbrug framing the Empire for framing Marienburg, or it could also be Lahmians framing Marienburg for framing the Empire for framing Marienburg.
Now, if you will turn to page 37, we can get into how this could be all wrong and the Skaven might be behind it all. "

The only real question is whether it's "Mathilde's" Rite of Way. I'm actually not sure if I want to slap her name on this one, since I think it sounds better without it. Putting emphasis on "Rite" and "Way" and making it strongly sound more like Rite is being used to indicate a magical spell, and the whole thing sounds really weird until you realize that it's "right of way" and groan. Putting her name distracts from that.
