So what you are saying he told someone to hold his beer several thousand years ago and that poor guy is still holding it?

Fair enough, though to be honest once we have her under our tutelage I will probably be suggesting we turn her a dragonbone staff.
We should give her the staff once she becomes magister.

It is a hereditary position, wars have been fought over who holds it (the position, and the beer).

He's still capable of casting it, even while dead.
Like any proper Wizard, he doesn't let such minor details such as being clinically dead and inanimate stop him.
Eh... I care more about her safety than about any formality, a staff will help her live to see magister.

I don't want to coddle her too much.
Remember how Panoramia had never had a serious miscast, and needed to be reminded of how dangerous things can be?
Giving her a dwarf made grounding rod early is like that.
She's got wealth, a supportive family, the patronage of a lord magister and a safe(ish) career waiting for her.

Lizardmen don't die of old age, so unless the holder has been careless, it should still be the same.
Skinks like all lizardmen are immortal, it is the same Beer Holder unless some daemon or skaven killed him
That sounds like a very good way to pump 8 different flavours of magic into a child's brain simultaneously.

Or a Druchii on a raid, or a dwarf looking to avenge a grudge, or a human looking for treasure, or another Lizardman in one of their thankfully few intraspecies clashes.
Point is that there are a lot of things that can kill a Skink and there's a reason we don't have a specific unit denoting century or millenium old ones like we do Saurus.
Now now, there's a decent chance that Wilhemina just said something like "I hope you'll finish in 3 years" and Eike extrapolated from there.

I don't think it was ever explicit that Skinks don't die of old age like it was for Saurus? Its in every Saurus and Slann army book entry but I've never seen it for Skinks. In fact Tetto'Eko is explicitly mentioned to be decrepid and at the end of his life span while also explicitly being quite young compared to any Slann. Though no hard numbers unfortuneatly.
But they still have Huberts out and about zapping things. Divination focus means they can recall them in time for the competition and pay them well for the show.

There is also Oxyotl who's literally Gods know how old.
Then again, Oxyotl is not quite what you'd call a regular example.
EDIT: Also Tehehauin who's a few millenia old, at least according to the timeline I found on the wiki

Only one thing for it, we get every Apprentice a grounding rod!

Fuck off with that Funny rating @DragonParadox, I'm fucking serious! Let's roll into Altdorf and make it rain Dwarf Bling.
Poor Wilhelmina, I wish Mathilde just hug her, knowing that your child having magic is just one of those life changing event for good or ill.
We should go drinking with Wilhelmina at some point to help her vent over this, felt like we're Wilhelmina only friend at this point.

The return of wizard chic, this time with a dwarven twist!
I mean there are what, hundreds of apprentices at a time? Even the simplest of runework is likely to cost at least 100 Gold or so. I do not think we have the money for it.
Ehh. A journey can be pretty safe too. Even Mathilde, who was thrown in the deep end, would've been mostly safe if she didn't misread spymaster as master spy and then decided she was the James Bond type of master spy. Eike's journey will probably have something to do with the EIC, and bigger magic isn't the most useful thing there.
I think the best thing for her safety would be to teach her the shadow hose, aka Mathilde's mastery variant of shadow horse. It means she can run away from nearly any fight, and makes her damn near impossible to intercept and ambush (because she doesn't need to stick to roads). Plus, that variant of the spell is probably the single most useful and effective thing Eike could get from her magic in her role as EIC boss (maybe some high level celestial precog could compete, but that's much easier to hire. There's no way to hire the ability to really quickly be where the problem is at any time, or for that matter to cease being where the problem is).
Another really useful tool would be Mathilde's high level of windsight, but it would counting chickens to be sure we can get her there before she becomes a journeymanling.

That's quitter talk! How about we get Belegar to fund it, contingent on graduating wizards holding them to owe K8P a Favour?

Just as soon as she is ours specifically, I would one hundred percent support not only getting the Grounding rod—even if it comes off as spoiling, teaching her proper safety measure first is fucking important—but also turn her the staff, and maybe even spend that KaK boon we have to get something similar to the Belt made or something. Because it's a really good thing to have.Fair enough, though to be honest once we have her under our tutelage I will probably be suggesting we turn her a dragonbone staff.
Pan pan had one as a Journeyman, so it's not like there's a formal requirement. I want Eike to have as many advantages as early on as possible so she doesn't risk exploding into daemons.

Okay, but what if we raised all the dead Runesmiths and got them to make the grounding rods? That ought to cut down on costs a decent amount.
