Wow, so much awesomeness for one week! I like that Rozemyne's Grutrissheit divine instrument is a tablet with a search function. Not sure how she's going to explain all this to everyone else. "Somehow I got big by offering mana to the Mestionora statue in the library." Rozemyne being a mana chameleon is kind of an interesting development. I wonder if she's going to inform Ferdinand at all or just continue as if everything is normal. In my headcanon Ferdinand's estate will now be known as "La Quinta".

Ahhh, so many questions now...

Since Rozemyne and Ferdinand's mana is so similar would magic contracts, citizenship and hidden room registration affect both of them? It seems that the magic ink they make is slightly different still, so perhaps not? Still close enough that a god couldn't tell them apart though.

I wonder if Ferdinand knew that Rozemyne was marked by Ewigeliebe. Still very curious why he needs all that maximal quality paper.

Will Rozemyne be able to fix Yurgenschmidt's nearly dry foundation even with the holes in her knowledge? Will Georgine assault Ehrenfest's foundation while Rozemyne is away at the Royal Academy?

Gah! Can't wait for next week!

Considering how the explanation for the Mark of Ewigeliebe is showing up in Rozemyne's Grutrissheit, we know for sure that it wasn't part of the 30 to 40 percent of knowledge he got, so he would have had to gain the knowledge by other means. But he said at some point that he knew barely anything about devouring children and it's not a topic likely to be covered by any nobles, especially not the texts in the underground archive, so I suspect he isn't aware of it.
