If I worked the date out correctly (Rozemyne is 12 right now, Tuuli is two years older than Rozemyne, making her 14, which means she'll reach 15 this summer) , Tuuli should be part of the upcoming coming-of-age ceremony, so Rozemyne will have her work cut out for her to not accidentally deliver a mega blessing. ^^ Since it's still spring, I don't know if it'll be in the upcoming pre-pub part, but it will most likely be in this volume at some point.
With Trombe paper coming from a mana-sucking feybeast, their experiments might tap into that characteristic of the plant and inadvertadly create some new way to seal or steal mana. Imagine a contraption that has pieces of specially treated trombe paper suspended in a liquid that becomes adhesive when exposed to air. When it hits a target, the outer shell breaks up, glueing the trombe paper to the target, which then merrily sucks mana out. That'd be a nice addition to Judithe's arsenal.
I forgot that Tulli was turning 15 this year, that'll be a fun ceremony. If I remember correctly Rozemyne is 12 going on 13 in summer, but Myne would be 13 going on 14 since she was baptized a year prior. The description from P5V3 mentioned Rozemyne looked about 9. That's a huge difference from how Tuuli looks, but maybe this year Leidenschaft and subordinates will bless Rozemyne with some physical growth!
I'm interested to see where the fey paper experiments will lead. I feel like they'll definitely discover something new. Tapping into the trombe's natural mana stealing properties seems like a good guess. Also I'm really hoping Judithe will be able to come to the sovereignty with everyone else at some point. Can't lose our best ranged attacker!
Roz could probably use that with her water gun (since it just is shooting mana). Although then again I'm not sure if you could use mana to make a thing that steals mana.
Rozemyne already did something like that against the Ternisbefallen, when she used a god of darkness blessing and shot arrows from her water gun. But as we learned from Judithe, such attacks eat up vast amounts of mana, which is why she and her fellow med- and lower nobles can't really use something like that effectively in battle. But if she had relatively easily mass produced magic tools that do the same thing or something close to it, that'd be quite the power multiplier for med- and laynobles.
