...which includes servants delivering her dinner, children curious about her, and even pets wandering into her lab. 
With the reputation of being haunted the lab will soon get, most children will stay away... and then there's a handful who will likely go there exactly because of the reputation. Better find a few grogs to stand on guard. XD
That's the thing about this flaw, grogs don't have a place to keep guard effectively, unless they themselves are in the lab! 
About the mirror, the covenant can probably obtain it within a year. Time needed to locate a source, have a merchant purchase it, have it made and delivered.

Caught up on the Sponsors 1 topic. Is there a need to change the name of the story to something more telling?
yes please, if you can...
"Two Swans of a Feather"
@Arthur please, when you can, could you change the name of "Finding Sponsors 3" to this: "Road into the lion's den"?
Thanks! 
Will do, as soon as I catch up on that story.

Sorry, am sick, so posting is delayed.
Don't worry Itzhak, get well soon 
Btw, i'm a little late to the topic, but i would like to add that technically the mirrors didnt need to be made in silver.
It could be made of any polished metal. Some of the most typicals were silver, tin and bronze. But it could be done in anything (copper, brass, electrum...). Ofc, some metals would need more cleaning and maintenance to avoid oxid than others, but thats it.
I only mention it to be accurate, and also in case Itzhak plans to add an enchantment to the mirror and wants a special material. If he doesn't have any preference, i would advise to go for tin or pewter, due to the reduced costs while being efectively the same as silver 
Edit: and if we want to go fancy and magical, i'm pretty sure that Clusius could make a marvelous mirror made with water solidified into a surface

Hi everyone. After checking with Arthur by dm, I wanted to introduce myself as a potential new member of the troupe. It's been years since I was last part of an Ars pbp, and I'm excited at the chance to get back into it, so I hope you are all open to having me onboard.
To tell you a bit about me (Ars-related), I'm mostly aligned with the Magic Realm vs. the other three - it captures my imagination the most. I also enjoy digging into medieval history, to flesh out the setting and mundane interactions a bit. Another of my favorite aspects of the game is using the magic system to solve problems, so I tend to design magi with a somewhat practical magical focus, and then try to use that focus in creative ways when facing a challenge. Doesn't always work out.
Anyway, please let me know what you think about my joining.
Another member? Thats great! Welcome @Emelric! ^^
I suppose that Arthur already gave you the most important links to follow and prepare your character, but please, don't doubt to ask in case you have any doubt
I'm looking forward to knowing more about the character concept you want to create
Welcome @Emelric!!!
About you joining: the more, the merrier. =]
As Gaxxian, I'm looking forward for your ideas. Feel free to ask anything you need.
If you want, there are a few stories going on that you can promptly join with grogs or a companion while your magus concept is fleshed out.
Links to the most relevant posts:
- About the Ars Magica 5th Edition: The Heir of Laimunt Valley category lists the character creation rules and House Rules.
- Character Creation Discussions (OOC) where you should post your character concept before developping it too much. In this saga, we promote a strong troupe approach, so that other players need to be comfortable running stories for the character type you want to create. So you need at least 2 "likes" on your character concept before you can proceed to detailed stats for the character. The concept should a a short paragraph describing the character (2 to 5 sentences).
- The Covenant of Tugurium for the current assets and description of the covenant.
I don't have much time these days, but the other players can help you along!
Thanks everyone! I'll give a character concept some thought over the weekend and run it by you early next week.

I will be posting very sporadically in the coming days/weeks. I live in Israel, and my country is in war, and it's all so overwhelming, and my mind isn't meant to deal with all of it.
