"Shut up your dramatic yelling! It's only a 74% casualty rate! You only get to complain if it reaches 75%. By the way, don't you dare die, or I'll have to start giving people hazard pay for working a job with 75% casualty rates.
On the bright side, all brewers who perish within our sacred chemical manufacturing plants are instantly declared martyrs upon death. Comes as a job benefit.

Regarding the trader, can we have his mind analysed by a Detect Thoughts-casting wizard? It's what we did with our first merchant, and this one seems even less trustworthy.

Explosive shells are definitely a much-needed improvement, especially now that our air deployment capability has grown so considerably. If we're going to swarm the sky effectively next turn, we need to arm our bombers to destroy, not hinder.

Eh, we've been violating the laws of thermodynamics since turn 1...that's kind of the basic underlying principle of magic, I think.

We have no practical applications at this time, since we don't have continuous sources of lightning.

This reminds me, if we ever need to develop an infinite source of electricity for railguns or whatever, all we need to do is design a simple thermoelectric generator. The fact that we can set adamantium to different fixed temperatures means we can set up a permanent temperature gradient for limitless electricity production via the Seebeck effect.

Working with carpets is so much more suited to her personality. She's the princess. She's not likely going to work on glowly fibers and strips of metals when she could be doing something fun instead. And she considers carpet stunts fun.

This:
Also, I can actually see Hayat messing around with lightning wands to do stupid stuff like make wires glow. She is described as being chaotic, and not as interested in prayer as most mages, but that doesn't mean she is not curious about the world. She could be an eccentric inventor type, constantly breaking rules and conventions in the name of !!SCIENCE!!

I know several kids with attention-deficit disorders who hate studying from conventional textbooks but love messing around with circuitry and other hands-on stuff when given the opportunity. I imagine our own Lord of Chaos is capable of taking joy in a similar fashion, especially if some artistic license is applied.

(To be frank, I chose this topic simply because it seemed like a fun application of Moskurg's existing magic/technology. Not to say that I don't see your point, but I wouldn't worry about it too much if I were you.)

Thank you!

Partly because the smatterings of Arabic
To be fair, most of it is actually anglicised pseudo-Arabic rather than the real thing.

Self-voting to prevent turn delays over the tie. Hope no one minds.

The requirement was to write a thesis on whatever subject we deemed relevant, not to restrict ourselves by our perception of the heiress based on a couple of sentences. For all we know, she could have stolen the research and bribed/murdered the original author. Fluff like this doesn't really matter, in my opinion.

Given her "chaotic and destructive behavior" learned from al-Mutriqa, wouldn't she be a little bit less than interested in how the Wand of Lightning Bolts makes things glow?

Well, it's not like she's doing any of this thesis-writing out of her own free will, right? May as well contribute to the development of Moskurger technology in the process. Besides, learning how to rearrange carpets to facilitate acrobatics/load-bearing doesn't quite strike me as destructive either, for that matter.

So, I've written my own thesis submission. It's basically on Hayat's pioneering research on primitive light bulbs.

Could we perhaps implement something like Detect Sniper as part of a revision to Antichronic Reverbemancy? The former seems a little too specific whilst the latter is uselessly half-done.

Leaning towards a lightning fix this round, but I'll wait until others have expressed their opinion before casting my vote.

All right, everyone's made good, solid arguments in favour of the two leading designs. I don't think there's much to be added beyond what's already been said, so how about letting this cool off for a while? It looks like we're dangerously close to entering the forbidden salt zone at the moment.
