How are there any Bright LMs then?
Also, I think that officially, if I remember word of Boney correctly, only the Patriarch of the order of the LM decides, with the SP and the Emperor having veto orders (and the Emperor having, presumably, some powers of appointment too, since great deed can override one requirement
Pretty much what I said, a martyr to organization, why would you want to manage other wizards when you can go out there and wizard? (yes that is a verb, a fey and frightful one at that
)

The decision making process is intentionally opaque, we're not quite sure exactly who's involved and to what extent, but we do know that the decisions heavily involve people who would be personally on the line if a new LM decided to skaven their way up the ladder.

Doubtful it's anything formalised, that'd just be the applying of regular old influence from above by the most institutionally powerful individual in the land.

Poor guy, we should all remember and appreciate his sacrifice.
I think it is not so much that it is intentionally opaque (though there is some of that) as that it's really informal. After all why would you need complex rules to manage the opinions of at the most a dozen people?

What happens when multiple wizards want to challenge the Supreme Patriarch?
Do they fight among themselves beforehand? 🤔
If a strong wizard that hasn't challenged Dragomas because he likes him, but doesn't like the new challenger, can they challenge the challenger before they fight Dragomas?
Can't wait to go to Wizardbowl.

No, you are wrong. The Grey college is the one we definetely know to NOT have right of challenge for leadership.

Uh. It says right there in the quote you provide that becoming a LM would give us the right to challenge Algard for leadership.

I'm not sure what your response is saying.
That quote would indicate that Mathilde can challenge Algard, now that she's a Lady Magister.

Luckily, Mathilde thinks Algard is good at his job.
Aside from all the added responsibilities and reduced time for research, adventure and recreational reading, most damningly, the higher you go, the fewer people are available to give head pats!

According to Sixth Edition, there is some form of selection process that spits out one challenger at the end. Might not be straight duels though.
I'm somewhat surprised you didn't get any hug/insightful ratings for this post. I'd have thought the Pandemic would've taught a lot of people the joys of not wearing pants while you work. Apparently the internet lied to me.

Quality, not quantity. Getting head-patted by the Emperor or, possibly, Ranald himself would be enough.

She had to get fired to go for Magister.
She cares about promotions that little.
They happen when they happen.
I can only see further promotions for Mathilde in case of tragedy or need:
- the current one dies and circumstances make Mathilde the compromise candidate
- the current one dies and we'd hate the replacement more than the job
- the current one dies and literally nobody wants it. It ends up being foisted on Mathilde
Is that a hint that Everyone's favourite lady knight is about to drop?

Brights are passionate more than they are ambitious. Be a true friend that has their backs and the other Bright LMs won't want to kill you in a premeditated duel.
Once the next Grey LM gets appointed we will at least find out if all current LMs are in any way involved and, if yes, how much. At the very least we will be taught how to appear with a chair outside the Grey College walls asked to come up with a fancy line.
