I wouldn't think it would cover it, with one exception: I'd rule that any spell targeting the inside of the regio would have to pass through the mundane level, and be affected by the Aegis--even with an arcane connection.
Yeah, I thought of that. It's probably a moot point, since it's essentially impossible for someone who hasn't at least seen the place before. Mind you, this all goes back to that arcane argument about the nature of Arcadian Travel.
Not that Calliope is likely to be a threat, but ugh...just another reason for having to worry about the nature of Arcadian Travel--not that I can even remember what we ever decided about that.
My inclination would normally be to say that if you're coming from Faerie into the regio, you don't need to go through the Aegis. The lab does have the impregnable flaw, which says that the lab is only accessible to "reasonably powerful magic", but Arcadian Travel from the Faerie Realm probably qualifies as that.
I don't think there's any other way in, and there are probably only a handful of magi in the Order with Arcadian Travel--and AFAIK Merinita don't have much of a tendency to try to kill each other--so I can live with that.
Could you add what we decided about the interactions between the Aegis and the regiones to the relevant post in the Covenant thread for future reference?
Former Storeroom Lab: Formerly occupied (and expanded) by Stephen of Bonisagus, then by Timaios of Guernicus
Former infirmary - not currently a lab, but could be set up to be.
Second Level of Caverns
Fray's Lab
Double-doored formerly flooded room: Set-up by Gregorius completed in Spring 1230. Occupied by Asena of Flambeau
Defunct
Patrick the Unrepentant's outdoor ward lab (dismantled on Gregorius' orders after Patrick left).
Is that in line with other people's understanding? My key uncertainty is which way round Asena and Timaios are, although I note MTKnife's post here: Covenant suggests that Fray's lab is on the first level of the caves - I think that's wrong, though.
Also, Stephen's lab is noted as being on the first floor (Vacant and Guest Laboratories), and I'm fairly sure we didn't have both of the storerooms turned into labs (because one of them was being used as the infirmary up until relatively recently when a dedicated building was constructed for it).
Are you okay for me to move a copy of the "who's got what lab" list to the Covenant and / or Vacant and Guest Laboratories threads (and are there any changes you think are needed to it before I do so)? I think it would be useful for the next time we're trying to assign labs to people.
Well then, yes, let's move it to the Covenant thread--I think. I believe the reason the vacant labs had their own thread was that the PC labs are detailed in the magi character sheets. Therefore, adding just a list of labs to the Covenant thread makes sense.
