Abuse doesn't usually fix anything.

I used to work in HVAC. I remember we had a small cold room that was struggling to maintain temperature, as in, design was supposed to be 0°F but it couldn't get below 36°F. There was a large hole in the box that was undoubtedly the cause of the problem, so I asked the installer how they accounted for that. "Oh, I doubled the infiltration value." When I tried calculating the actual losses it was way, way higher than the infiltration value. Like, the room needed someting like 3-4 times its total refrigeration capacity to reach target with a giant fucking hole in the box.

No idea who thought putting a giant hole in the box was a good idea.

Was your revenge worth it, Arno? He did not care who he hurt in order to hurt Fran. Fran, who had no say in what was done to him. Fuck Arno.

Judge Judy. I like this modification of the phrase.

Personally, I really, really, really wish we had a viable third party candidate. I don't want either of these fucks in office.

Raublut screwed over Hildebrand pretty hard. Were we ever told why he encouraged Hildebrand to get his schtappe?

Myne's copy and paste spell demonstrates how it is perfect for this competition.

Myne kept Ferdinand's mana colors for quite a while after being dyed. I wonder if she'll keep the Goddess's mana colors now? She no longer has mana clumps, but maybe? Does that mean she'll appear to be more divine to others?

I think it was "the [library's] tools would [eliminate] anyone who entered the library through illicit means." But walking in through the front or back door is fine as long as you don't force your way in. I think you're entirely correct about the masters, library personnel, and royalty, but I get the impression that royal branch families do not get special access. They got in because of Horenisia's feystone, which let them into the dormatory, which appears to be a weakness. Solange maybe let them in the rest of the way after the shumils informed her of Hortensia's arrival? They did threaten her.

The "illicit means" thing probably also applies to the masters, royalty, etc., though, as the shumils did consider Rosemyne a threat when she tried to force her way into the door that holds the copy of the G book.
