Last week our favorite bookworm returned to the temple and found two orphans who would be given magic tools to become nobles. Then there was a meeting to bring Benno up to date and request fey paper for Ferdinand. We left off at Rozemyne's library with Clarissa, and Hartmut to experiment on improving the fey paper by brewing.

Any guesses on where the story will take us this week?

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.
