The lengths a gal goes to, to get a decent drink around here.
I had a feeling that Rego Craft Magic, as is, can't be put into items. I was hoping I was missing something. I'd be surprised if someone somewhere hadn't figured it out, but if they had they're keeping it to themselves.
So...yeah. Between terms, work on figuring out how to put Finesse into items. Now I just need to figure out how to do that. Probably lots of Lesser Devices.
Nothing so tough. Although I'd probably provide more OR points than working with spells with the use of Vis. As I recall, there's no benefit from doing something with Vis as part of Original Research. You could get all the way there with inventing spells, by RAW.
If you can get enough buy in, or at least no comments gainsaying it, I have no problem with that finesse being built into devices already present in the saga, so Fiona wouldn't have to research and would instead have to convince someone to teach it to Fiona.

I forgot to include the Bronze Cord Modifier in Fiona's aging rolls (from 1226 to 1267). It only made a difference in 1258, 1262, and 1264. But she did not gain an Aging Point in 1262, nor did she apparently age a year in 1258 or 1264. I've fixed the appropriate values on her current character sheet (first post).
So, I've gone and tallied up all the BP that Fiona has spent so far, out of the 365 she gets for being 73 years out of gauntlet.
Most of her BP has been spent on enchanted items, which are all on her current character sheet (first post in the thread), if anyone wants to review/audit them to see if I did them right.
One thing I did was that, if the item is not fully enchanted, she spent BP to open the item and then BP for the effects in the item. For example, her Armour has a 30 pawn capacity, so she spent 6 BP for that (at the rate of 5 pawns of vis per BP, just like vis stores), and then BP for the actual enchantments.
A side effect of that was that, in cases where either opening an item or a lab activity (with her Talisman or Albus) wasn't a multiple of five pawns, she put the remainder in her reserves. For example, initially opening the Talisman cost 8 pawns of Vim. Since 2 BP buys you 10 pawns, she put 8 in the Talisman and 2 in the vault. Using that method, she currently has 2p Muto, 3p Animal, 3p Mentem, and 14p Vim set aside.
She also paid for the +1 Size (20 BP each) for her Insula Canaria and Bibracte labs separately, and will probably do so for her personal lab at the Academy. Iirc, the Bibracte +1 labs were paid for by another player's Covenant BP, but not paying for it myself here kind of felt like gaming the system.
All told, she still has 102 BP to spend yet. As I understand it, she can spend 10% of that (or 10 BP) on personal Vis stores, which would still leave her 92 BP to spend on other things. Specialists, books, more items, etc. Any ideas?
Oh...and does she have to spend BP for any Commentaries that she spent a season in development to write?
It is possible that you may be able to spend more of those remaining build points as vis. The idea was to limit the total build points spent on vis, in your case 365, to 36 (rounding) build points. You can have or have used up to 180 pawns of vis during your development. Whatever wasn't spent out of that 180 pawns you can cash out with.
No. But you will have had to read the summa it is based upon, so don't forget to detail that book, too.
Her pawn usage is as follows, so far:
So, that's a total of 34 BP that she's used for vis to open various items that still have space, or for her lab projects. Hunh.
Maybe she won't be cashing in any more BP for vis, after all.
It was In Flux Veritas, from the Bibracte library, which iirc is/was a very common summa.
I was hoping to come up with a device that would be opened for 6-10 pawns and still have space, so I could use that last 2 BP for vis. Didn't work.
But I do want to be sure I'm building this item right. My main concern is what constitutes "Linked Trigger."
Fiona's robes are opened for 6 pawns Vis (cloth is 1, Huge is the size of a human body, Fiona's robes would thus be Huge +1, or x6 multiplier).
First effect is an Intellego Corpus to determine the wearer's current size and shape. Base 5 ("Sense a specific piece of information about a body"), R: Touch +1, D: Concentration +1, T: Individual, +1 for Target size, for a final effect level of 20. The effect is usable [strike]6[/strike] 24 times a day ([strike]+3[/strike] +5), and the robes maintain concentration (+5), for a final Enchantment Level of 28, or 3 pawns. The number of uses is in case Fiona takes off and puts on the robes more than twice in a day. Note that, in order for the effect to succeed, Fiona will have to suppress her parma while she puts the robes on.
The other effect is a MuHe to make the robes grow or shrink and conform to the wearer's current size and shape. Base 3 (change an item made from plant products), +1 to change plants into finished materia", R: Personal, D: Conc +1, T: Individual, +1 for complexity (to allow the robes to shrink or embiggen, and to change the cut slightly to better fit her current figure), for a final Effect Level of 10. The device has Unlimited uses a day (+10), maintains concentration (+5), and has a Linked Trigger (+3); the Trigger is any change in the wearer's size or shape, based on the Intellego Corpus effect. The final Enchantment Level is 28, or 3 pawns.
Opinions?
Fiona's laboratory is situated in a large wood-and-stone cottage slightly apart from the school itself, and is surrounded by a spacious well-maintained and landscaped garden (which she spent all of Summer 1268 working on). Nearby is a second wooden structure, about 40 feet wide and 125 feet long, and about 27½ feet high (or 12.2 by 38.1 by 8.4 meters), which has no visible windows.

Her plans for exploring Hévíz is three-fold: see who and what's in the area, especially the village; find out where we might be able to find specialists, workers, craftsmen, etc. for the school (to fill any holes we haven't filled yet), and to get a good feel for the local flora and fauna so she can have an idea of where to go if we need wolfsbane or nightwort or something.
Oh. And Aging Rolls (blech):
1270 also marks her 100th birthday (she seems like a Summer, so let's say her birthday is August 25). So, that weekend, she is going to have an incredibly not-family-appropriate celebration with her friends, loved ones, and lovers from all over.
+4 Upkeep is 100 points, and expenses for the lab are 1 pound per 10 points of lab, so therefore 10 mythic pounds of silver is necessary to keep the lab up for a year. Relocating the lab (as per the insert on page 119 of Covenants) costs 2 years of maintenance to cover the breakage.
So, to move this lab it costs 20 mythic pounds, or 2 build points.
Note: I erred in saying that it was 1 season to tear down and 1 season to reassemble (it's two), but we'll go with the one and one. It's still two seasons where your lab isn't available.
The Upkeep is reduceable if we have master craftsmen (score of 6+), right? So, if I use Fiona's remaining build points for a glass-blower, goldsmith, silversmith, lapidary, mechanic, and toolmaker (the craftsmen listed on p. 66), that would cover it? And she'd use 2 of her BP stash to cover the costs of moving, too.
The last of Fiona's 94 lifetime Build Points.
Things that Fiona does with her newly-free seasons.
