For the hopeless romantics among us, the verb has no use other than in the present indicative.
(Off topic answer)
Heh, good question!
For this native speaker*, "I have been loving X" is indeed an atypical construction and does sound a bit odd when you stop and think about it, but not at all unheard of in a poetic sense/etc. (i.e. It's something (expressive) people say but don't stop to think about.) For me, it emphasizes the act, the intensity (and novelty?) of the experience itself, even if it is not happening at this instant.
(* and student of English, English Lit, Linguistics, 2nd Language Acquisition, Old English (aka Old Anguish), etc etc. blah blah)
Without the past-progressive aspect, "I am loving X" works the same and is very common - to emphasize the process. (sim to "I write a book" vs. "I am writing a book", etc.)
The more common past-perfect-progressive implies a previous continuing state that is now ended. ("I had been loving X... but now I don't.")
The present-perfect-progressive tends to emphasize/imply a contrast between the current generally-ongoing action vs. a previous state lacking that action (tho' that's not a hard and fast rule - no Academie d'Anglaise).
So:
"We have been running" (where before this we were not)*
or
"You have been dating her" (while before, you were not dating)*
(* Note that in neither does it imply that running/dating is happening right now - as could be the case if you said "I am running//dating". The simple progressive also does not emphasize a history of an ongoing state.)
So, "I have been loving X" implies either that 1) earlier, I was not loving anything ( or not comparatively so: not as much, as noticeably, as intensely) or 2) earlier, I was not loving "X" (whatever "X" is) - BUT now I am, and have been for a while. It's the experience of "loving" that is emphasized, either way.
(I'm not sure if the same applies en francais, but perhaps, literally - "J'ai ete aimant (beaucoup) Metacreator" vs. "J'aime (beaucoup) Metacreator/ Je suis aimant (beaucoup) Metacreator"?)
(Class dismissed, go home early, no homework.)
thanks
There's no progressive in French afaik. Best I can think of is "Je suis en train d'aimer" or "J'aime continuellement" but nothing comes close to "I've been loving".
bien sur, pas du problem 
Interesting coveant simulation
I believe they work best when magi are simulated by different players though, because that allows for irrational selfishness (which is part of human nature)
Definitely. I've noticed that I have to keep that in mind as I run them a bit too much like a team. At the moment, I think it works okay because I assume they're all committed to making the Covenant work. But, as I've progressed it to 1120 by now (just haven't documented it all here) I'm seeing some distinct personalities appear and I learned to look at their Flaws and such. But it's still hard for me to try and keep them moving on their own separate tracks as opposed to working in conjunction with each other. A goal for each magi should help also.
The other problem I've run into is magic items... all of them have started or planned enchantments but something came up or I forgot to go back and enchant it. The reason being, I figure, is because the enchantments are never going to be used they don't stick out. Or the lack of them, I should say, isn't noticeable. Enchantments are designed and made usually to fit a need that arises during a story and so I don't really have that... other than my obvious "Wand 'o' Fire-Tossing."
PRACTICIA COVENANT
WINTER, 1110 AD
Tribunal: Iberian
1106 AD
Galatrias spent Spring and Summer extracting vis in order to create a wand that would be useful in combat. He decided that the level of power required some more research into the theory behind it. In exchange for eight pawns of Vim, Elucia was granted 5 pawns of Ignem to study for the purpose of defensive and offensive magics. She spent the winter mastering the Crystal Dart for the same purpose. Willace was determined to be prepared for his next adventure and extracted vis for an enchantment idea. He used lab texts to pick up some more useful spells. A bout of the flu in the winter reminded him that a longevity potion was needed very soon. They decide to provide 8 pawns of Perdo to the debt in order to forestall any grumbling from their supporters.
1107 AD
Galatrias agrees to assist Willace with his longevity ritual in the Fall. In Spring and Summer, Willace reads some more Magical Theory. Galatrias researches his enchantment idea and determines that it will take almost a year of work. Willace agrees to assist him with the work to shorten this in exchange for the assistance on the longevity ritual. He prepares the Wand of Enduring Flames in Spring. In the Summer, he uses two pawns of Ignem from the Covenant for studying. In the Fall, the two of them prepare Willace’s Longevity Ritual. Elucia travels to Italy for training in Philosophiae. This takes most of the year for her. They pay one Creo pawn towards their debt.
1108 AD
Galatrias and Willace finish the Wand of Enduring Flames. In the Summer, Galatrias invents Improved Sap The Griffin’s Strength, a more powerful effect than his other one. Willace extracts vis in Summer and Fall for his own enchantment idea. In the Winter, he is forced to deal with a local succession crisis. This helps to bolster their relations with the locals though. Galatrias extracted some more vis for the Covenant. In the Spring and Summer, Elucia works on her Magical Theory through the Library. Applying some of her newfound knowledge, she decides to write a Tractatus, “Permutations of Arcane Effects.” At the Council, they decide, to her displeasure, that Elucia will travel to the Tribunal. She will be bearing much vis for trade with Corpus, elements (Auram, Aquam) and Rego preferred. She will also be looking for books for trade as well as a copy of her latest book for dissemination.
1109 AD
Willace spent Spring and Summer working on his Vim through the study of vis. In the fall, he went out on a sortie with the grogs and ambushed a band of brigands. The victory eased more of the ill-feeling amongst the covenfolk over the earlier debacle he had led with the grogs. In the Winter, he extracted more vis for the Covenant and himself. Elucia spent Spring making a copy of her Tractatus. In the Summer, she traveled to the Tribunal and provided her book. This provided her with some Acclaim amongst the other Bonisagi. She also traded vis for 10 Corpus and 2 Aquam. The most interesting development was being approached by an older Tytalus. His apprentice was reaching Gauntlet and he sought out Elucia to prepare a spot for him. He wanted a Spring covenant beset by trouble to test his fili and they agreed that he could come to the covenant when he passed his Gauntlet. In return, the parens would provide his fili with a book on Mentem magics since it was a specialty of his for the service. The new magus would, of course, need to pass the probation period. She traded Galastrias “Reflexive Shielding” for another vanity work, on Imaginem. Irritated by his slow copying, Galastrias spent Summer, Fall and Winter working on his scribing abilities. Elucia returned and used the Fall and Winter to learn Catalan from the Library since it would help her with dealing with the grogs. The entire trip was very unpleasant with little conversation. For her travels to the Tribunal, the Council agreed that Elucia would be allowed several years to work on her projects. This was agreed to provided that she pen her knowledge to the Library before sending it off to the Bonisagus auditors. In addition, Galatrias agreed to assist with her Longevity ritual but she indicated that she did not need his help.
1110 AD
Elucia worked on her Longevity Ritual in the Spring and spent the Summer reading up on Intellego. She spent the remainder of the year, with the Council’s blessing, working on Muto with the aid of Covenant vis. Galatrias spent Spring, Summer and Fall extracting vis for his studies. He graciously donated the vis needed for the ritual that year. In the Winter, he studied the vis and planned on continuing into the next year. Willace spent Spring meditating on his experiences and applying it to his skills. He also caught up on local events in the area. In the Summer, he prepared his idea for magical robes. In the Fall and Winter, he invested the “Doublet of Impenetrable Silk” as a constant effect into the Robes. The Council decreed that 10 pawns of Muto should go towards their debt.
1111 AD
Disaster struck in the Spring. Willace and Galatrias, mindful of their promise, raced from one end of the area to the other dealing with raiders. They and the grogs fought well and survived with only minimal casualties. Again, the successful actions reduced the pain of losing their first battle half a decade ago. Galatrias and Willace gained experience in combat in those days. In the Summer, Galatrias and Willace took the fight to the raiders and wiped out their encampment to the south. In the Fall, when the fighting died down, Willace decided to study some of the Covenant’s Imaginem vis. Galatrias worked on spells for the remainder of the year and invented some spells for use in healing and scouting. Elucia spent the entire year oblivious of outside events. She utilized the Covenant’s Muto vis stocks to enhance her own knowledge. The Council decides to spend five pawns on the debt only to learn that it has now been ten years and interest has been attached to the debt! The fine language in the contract is clear and the Covenant’s debt is increased by ¼ of the original amount! The Council determined to pay the entire amount off in two years.
1101-Reduce the debt to 35 pawns of prime vis.
1102-Reduce debt to 33 pawns.
1103-Reduce debt to 32 pawns.
1106- Reduce debt to 24 pawns.
1107-Reduce debt to 23 pawns.
1108-Reduce debt to 21 pawns.
1110-Reduce debt 11 pawns

Have you considered setting up a web page with this data? I'm interested in looking at what you've done, but without formatting of the data into tables or such, I find that I come, start to peak, and then find it's too cumbersome.
Don't consider this too much of a poke... it's your free time, and if you'd rather spend it thinking about the characters than HTML, I can hardly blame you. 
ndkid: do you have a nice place to put it? I can do the HTML pretty much without thinking but currently have no place to host it.
My first thought, especially since you're not talking about size-intense content, is:
sites.google.com/
I'm a developer who occasionally does web development, so if left to my own devices, this sort of project would have a data store, multiple views, customizable queries, etc, etc... so a quick answer like that stops me before I start thinking.
I don't mind that, but it's rather overkill
@Kilgs: if you're cool with it, we can move the whole thing and re-arrange things a bit, for ease of (over-)view. Your content - your choice.
Wha? 
It's just a Metacreator run, folks. If someone wants to put more energy into it. Go to town.
I agree that it's a bit cumbersome to look at but, as you mentioned, it's easier that way. That's one of the reasons I added the primer ahead of time so you could see the actual actions and developments without the BIG-BLOCK-O-TEXT. I agree, it looks like junk. But if someone wants to put it somewhere else, have at it. The next bunch is kinda screwy because it's almost ten years... I kinda got on a roll. And I was drinking. I blame the beer. I'll try to get it up soon.
The interesting thing, which I decided to not do here, was adding another covenant or two. Since we have scribal hospitality, it would make things pretty interesting in terms of development and advancement.
Heck, if you want to put time into it... you get creative control, tell me where these magi should go and what not 
(More specifically, someone give me some interesting/useful magic items!)
ndkid's project about this project sounds great!
Magical items for the lab/covenant:
- magical light
- magical heating
- magical creation of specimen (plants/bodies etc)
- magic glass cleaning devices
- a magic mirror that has sight of the active magics
- a pair of vis scales
- a broom that cleans by itself
- magical traps that kill intruders
- a magic bunsen burner
- weightless armor for the grogs
- charged item to down a parma (see cutellus from MoH)
- healing bed (recovery bonus based on level 25 spell, so it doesn't warp!)
- unseen porter gloves
Covenants has rules on how these things can either help save covenant upkeep or improve lab quality. Money saved on covenant upkeep can be poored into the lab.
Use 21st century technology. If we use it, it must have some use.
e.g. magic cellphone, magic chainsaw (axe?), magic refrigerator, magic copy machine, magic music box that can only be heard by teenies
Right. Do we want a simply updated library, or do we want the library presented as here, with info at given years?
Same with the magi (and most other things)?
One rather nice item that I conjured up in a long car ride combines two ignem effects to provide a lantern/lamp that gives off light (Sun dur) and heat. Great for those cold nights in the watchtower. I'll have to get one of them to make it.
As I mentioned, this next jump has almost 11 years in it. So I'm going to skip the History of each character unless someone asks for it. I'll go back to posting Histories once I get back on the 5yr cycle.
1111 AD
Disaster struck in the Spring. Willace and Galatrias, mindful of their promise, raced from one end of the area to the other dealing with raiders. They and the grogs fought well and survived with only minimal casualties. Again, the successful actions reduced the pain of losing their first battle half a decade ago. Galatrias and Willace gained experience in combat in those days. In the Summer, Galatrias and Willace took the fight to the raiders and wiped out their encampment to the south. In the Fall, when the fighting died down, Willace decided to study some of the Covenant’s Imaginem vis. Galatrias worked on spells for the remainder of the year and invented some spells for use in healing and scouting. Elucia spent the entire year oblivious of outside events. She utilized the Covenant’s Muto vis stocks to enhance her own knowledge. The Council decides to spend five pawns on the debt only to learn that it has now been ten years and interest has been attached to the debt! The fine language in the contract is clear and the Covenant’s debt is increased by ¼ of the original amount! The Council determined to pay the entire amount off in two years.
1112 AD
Willace decides to continue with his patrols in the Spring and finds that the Covenant has accrued a favorable reputation amongst the locals as defenders of the commoners. The nobility are a bit upset about this but Willace uncovers no real rancor. He spends his time with the Grogs learning to fight and ride, there is only a single small skirmish with raiding bandits from the north. He meets with Victatrix, the newly-Gauntleted Tytalus that Elucia promised board to, on his journeys and ferries him back to the Covenant. To his benefit, Victatrix does not come empty-handed but with a small enchanted statuette that generates Rego vis, three trained Grogs and the promised Summa on Mentem. The others hold a quick Council meeting and Victatrix is informed of the situation. As an enemy of the Moors himself, he is happy to join the Covenant under the requirement of one season each year for four years prior to full membership. Under those terms, he settles in and transcribes his own spell library, for his first service, for the Covenant in the Summer and builds his Laboratory the remaining part of the year. Galatrias spends the entire year working on improving his Arts. With the permission of the Covenant, he uses some of their dwindling stock of Creo and more abundant Ignem to improve his proficiency in those areas. In return, he agrees to write a Tractatus in the upcoming years for the Covenant. Willace spends Summer and Fall learning to ride and fight better. He suffers his first Twilight in the Fall and manages to comprehend it successfully controlling the flows of magic. In the Winter, he decides to focus more on his magic and seeks to learn more offensive spells. Elucia buries herself yet again in her works continuing her research into Muto with the knowledge that much of their stock will be depleted when the debt is paid off in the following year. The Council decides to spend off half the debt, the other half the next year.
1113 AD
Elucia continued her studies in Muto and decided to write a Summa for the Covenant’s use only. She made it clear that the book was not to be disseminated as she was not proud of the depth of it. In the Winter, she wrote “The Consistency of Flux” to the pleasure of her sodales as it was a strong introduction to the art of Muto. She considered the use of it and other books towards the education of an apprentice and decided that she might build a more complete library of the same. Galatrias spent the year extracting vis, enchanting and attuning a Talisman for himself. Willace decided to work on an enchanted weapon design given his new fondness for the gladius that he had learned how to use the past year. With the permission of the Covenant, he studied Terram vis for the effect he was hoping to create. Victatrix spent two seasons improving his Magical Theory before learning to extract Vim vis in his laboratory. He donated both seasons of vis to the Covenant since it was a paltry 4 pawns. The Council, at the end of the year, paid off the remainder of the debt and was free of ties to another covenant for the first time. That it only took 13 years was impressive, noted Galtrias. Unfortunately, the Covenant’s finances were now relatively secure as the silver interest was now ceased as well. But they still had not secured any new vis sources except that provided by Victatrix (and kindly donated to the Covenant). In addition, new sources of income would be very favorable. It was determined that both of these issues should be addressed in the next few years. Willace agreed to look for savings in the form of more craftsmen and Elucia indicated that she would look into some enchanted items that may assist the covenfolk and increase the output for their work. The Council also noted that the Library suffered from a lack of mundane resources and knowledges, this was presented ad hoc by Victatrix and so it was tabled until later.
1114 AD
The year of 1114 was extremely quiet. Victatrix worked on his scholarly abilities, noting again that there was no Latin primer in the Library, and utilized Elucia’s new text on Muto. He extracted vis as part of his season of service. Galatrias worked on Muto in the Spring and Summer with Elucia’s text. In the latter part of the year, he expanded on his Magical Theory while formulating some ideas for his Talisman. Willace received permission to utilize Terram vis again in the Spring and Summer. In the Fall, despite his low proficiency in both Muto and Terram, he researched and invented a spell he had heard much about. This took him longer than expected and he did not finish until Summer of 1115. Elucia utilized the last Creo vis to advance her studies, in return she extracted a significant amount of Vim the next two seasons and studied her portion in the Winter. The Council decided that Victatrix would seek out a new source of vis in the Summer of the next year. Elucia would continue her studies and Galatrias would seek out some craftsmen and a suitable autocrat for the covenant since they were growing now. Four children had been born in the past two years.
1115 AD
Galatrias worked on his social graces, practicing etiquette and the like, for his foray into the mundane world. He left in Autumn and did not return until Winter. His travels took him deep into France before he was able to return. He did so with a new autocrat for the Covenant as well as a pair of craftsmen. A metalworker and blacksmith joined the covenant with his arrival. Willace was obsessed with his new idea and spent most of the year extracting vis and preparing his blade for a new enchantment that would make it razor sharp. Elucia spent the entire year wrapped in the study of Rego vis in the hopes of designing some enchantments that would assist the covenfolk. As usual, she was oblivious to anything happening. Victatrix left in the summer with only three Grogs and did not return until the Winter months. He was unsuccessful but indicated that he had learned of rumors of magical places in the southern steppes. They had fought several magical beasts and raiders and returned with vis from these bodies. Victatrix noted the problem in carting around rotting corpses and indicated that he had been forced to leave several pawns in the field. He lacked the magic and means to extract it with assurances.
As the attention of the magi looked elsewhere, the year started out relaxed but a crisis struck while the magi were about their yearly tasks! Clueless to the happenings as there was no true leader amongst the covenfolk until Galatrias returned from his task, the covenant suffered serious economic damage. The miners of the silver mine reported problems with spirits and demons from the deep. This completely shut down mining operations for three seasons! The silver reserves of the Covenant were sufficient to cover the year but the lack of income was quickly felt by all. An emergency Council voted to solve this problem immediately!
1116 AD
This year was one of hard toil, danger and worry. The troubles in the mine were due to the miners breaking into the outskirts of an entire goblin kingdom! The Goblin King had declared war against the mundanes and it took much scrying to determine this. The rest of the year was spent in combat and skirmishes as the magi attempted to beat back the belligerent faeries. They were mostly unsuccessful and the entire year of mining yield was ruined. It wasn’t until the Winter when Victatrix was captured by the Goblins and managed to meet with the Goblin King that the problem was solved. A treaty was formed in that the magi of the Covenant would send one of their number to serve the Goblin King for a season every seven years. This treaty was agreed upon and Victatrix was returned to the Covenant. Galatrias volunteered for the first season of service in 1117 AD. The Council voted on a new rule that the season of service would be completed by everyone except Victatrix who was the hero of the saga. In addition, they immediately voted him a full member of the Covenant.
1117 AD
Galatrias crafted a quick Ward spell for his Summer season in league with the Goblin King. He was able to learn a great deal about the Goblins during this time as well. Upon his return, he studied the book provided by Victatrix’s parens about Mentem. Elucia was permitted to return to her studies and she focused on Rego again with the hopes of being able to write something of substance in the future. Preparing in the Spring, Willace and Victatrix sought out a source for Corpus in the Summer. They found it in a valley south of them where an old graveyard still stood. They battled undead and harvested Corpus from them without casualties. They retreated when things grew too grim. The source was rich with Corpus but because of the danger they decided to set a limit of 2 pawns per year and reward the grogs who sought out the reward. Willace returned and decided to study more Terram vis to ensure his enchantment worked. Victatrix returned to the Covenant and spent some time working with the Grogs and learning to fight with them. The Council voted to establish a full Council government now that they had leaders for the Grogs and the covenfolk.
1118 AD
Galatrias spent the entire year enhancing his knowledge of Ignem through the study of vis. Willace worked on finishing off his study of Elucia’s summa on Muto, studying Terram vis and Perdo vis. Elucia continued her work on Rego studies through the Covenant’s vis. In exchange, she penned a Tractatus on Rego for the Covenant in the Winter. Victatrix spent the entire year immersed in studies of Herbam through the Library summa. He noted that there were no Herbam spells in the Library and resolved to work on this sporadically in the future. The Council met and noted that their Vim vis was getting low. Galatrias volunteered to extract vis for two seasons provided that he get access to the identical amount of Ignem. Engrossed in his laboratory, he missed the mustering of the Flambeau at Saragossa but also missed being prosecuted for magical crimes. Elucia indicated that she would be copying her tractatus for the Covenant representative to present to her House at the Tribunal the next year. After that, she was to continue her studies in Rego with the hopes of producing a Summa in a few years time. The Council approved these studies for another year but requested she look elsewhere so that the stocks could replenish after that. Willace agreed to represent the Covenant at the Tribunal in the Summer. Victatrix indicated that he would continue his studies. The Council voted to trade for Corpus, Creo and Auram/Aquam vis at the upcoming Tribunal. As Longevity Rituals needed strengthening, and no one was a Corpus expert, it was decided that some emphasis on that was prudent.
1119 AD
Galatrias extracted Vim for two seasons and studied Ignem for the latter part of the year. Elucia copied her book for dissemination at Tribunal and spent the remainder of the year working on Rego. With the Rego vis supplies low, she decided to focus on something else for the next few years. Victatrix decided, at the last minute, to not attend the Tribunal since he did not feel confident to face his parens yet. He spent the Spring and Summer working on his Catalan with the Grogs and through the library. He turned his attention to Elucia’s Muto summa in the Fall. Finding it immensely helpful, he decided to increase his repertoire of spells. Willace spent his time getting to know the grogs and covenfolk before traveling to the Tribunal. At the Tribunal, attended by Willace, was non-eventful although stress over the invasions was palpable. The Kingdom of Aragon had just taken Saragossa back and much arguing was prevalent. The Flambeau attack against the Muslims at their side was troubling. No Flambeau were punished but the Tribunal resulted in a full moratorium on the use of magic to aid the Crusade. Willace voted not guilty on the actions of the Flambeau as the Council had decided. Successful trades were made for Auram, Aquam, Corpus and Creo vis although it drove some of the Covenant’s stocks low. Having survived the goblins, the assault of several raiding groups and now becoming a source of knowledge, the Covenant received much acclaim. Elucia received her due as well from the Bonisagus for her Tractatus. After returning, Willace focused on his swordplay for the upcoming battles he knew were inevitable. The Council, at their Winter meeting, decided to store focus on only two types of vis per Tribunal and rejected trading with Redcaps throughout the intervening years unless the exchange was extremely favorable. In addition, the Council noted that additional books should be a priority in the future.
1120 AD
Willace studied Terram in the Spring and then spent the remainder of the year enchanting his Thorn of Steel, a magically sharp blade. Victatrix received permission to study Corpus vis in preparation for his Longevity Ritual. Galatrias agreed to assist in his Longevity Ritual in exchange for a return season of assistance in 1121 AD. He worked on Rego in the Spring. In Summer and Fall, he negotiated for use of some Animal vis. Once his studies progressed to journeyman stage, he agreed to provide a written work for the Covenant.
1121 AD
Elucia is convinced to write another primer for the Covenant. Again, she indicates that she does not want it disseminated as it functions merely as an introductory work. She creates “Translocation Through The Art.” She spends the remainder of the year working on Mentem studies. Galatrias is reminded that he would provide a written work on Ignem to the Covenant’s Library. He spends the first three seasons working with Ignem vis, at the agreement of the others, to ensure that it is actually helpful. The writing of the book takes longer than planned and continues into the next year. Victatrix invents some minor spells with his new understanding of Herbam. In digging through the Library in the fall, he discovers a mislaid Tractatus for Imaginem that Elucia traded for at the first Tribunal. The lack of a librarian had it shuffled and lost in a stack of papers. He spends the Winter season studying it. Willace works on his Magical Theory, reads Galatrias’ new Summa on Ignem and then decides to strengthen his Parma Magica. The Council decides to focus on broadening the educational materials in the Library and recruit a Librarian. Elucia also requests that an Illuminator be found. Galatrias notes that he may be looking for an Apprentice within the next five years so he would like a broad sampling of information. The Council agrees to spend silver on mundane books.

This is very interesting, thank you very much.
Yikes, sorry for the drop off the planet thing... between my brother's wedding, then a crazy month and a half of work, I get pretty sidetracked. So back at you with about fourteen years of advancements.
1122 AD
Elucia spent Spring and Summer working on her Mentem through reading “Peeling of the Mind.” In the Fall and Winter, she decided to contribute to the Covenant’s vis stores by extracting Vim vis. She provided half of the yield to the Covenant. Galatrias attempted to study the Vim vis left over but suffered a mishap that caused a minor explosion in his lab. Nothing was truly damaged but the vis was destroyed and the season wasted. He spent summer working on Imaginem with the Covenant’s Library. In the Fall and Winter, he used covenant Lab texts to increase his spell repertoire with some minor spells that covered areas he was not proficient in. This was done in the hopes of gaining a broader understanding of magic for his goal of training an apprentice. Victatrix decided to harvest vis for the Covenant and kept half of his yield over three seasons. In the Winter, he continued his study of Herbam as he was beginning to see great potential of mixing Intellego and Herbam to learn about the surrounding lands. Willace spent the year building more skill with the Arts and his use of them. Concern over the presence of Arabian magi in recent news of the southern conquests, he spent time building his Parma Magica up, studied Rego with Elucia’s summa, and then spent two seasons working on perfecting his Pilum of Fire. Unfortunately, this caused him to enter Twilight which resulted in a nasty episode that he refused to speak of and caused some instability in his flame manifestations. The Council decided that additional study and transcribing of knowledge was to be of paramount importance. For that reason, they released several quantities of vis to Covenant members.
1123
Elucia elected to study Muto, using Covenant vis, in the hopes of providing a more useful treatise to the Covenant. She spent Winter scribing her new thoughts into a Tractatus “Unceasing Alteration” and was pleased at the result. Galatrias agreed to spend time on Terram. He spent the entire year on it and was pleased with the peripheral knowledge it provided in Aquam, Auram and Ignem. Victatrix used Auram vis to gain a basic understanding as well as spent a season reading up on Herbam again. As Willace lacked knowledge on Aquam, he volunteered to spend the entire year on the Art. The Council agreed to free up several more pawns due to upcoming longevity needs and more study. It was also determined that someone would need to learn Aegis of the Hearth as having only one capable magus was dangerous. Elucia agreed in order to see if she could improve on the current magnitude.
1124
Galatrias managed to convince the Covenant for a pawn of Intellego and providing him with a solid base in the Art. The rest of the year, he continued his work on Terram. Elucia spent Spring copying a version of Unceasing Alteration to provide to her House. In the Summer, she worked on learning the current Aegis ritual. She had no difficulty doing so and decided to expand on her learning by inventing a more powerful version of the ritual for the covenant. She succeeded in the Winter but requested that the covenant wait for the new effect as she wanted to spend more time mastering it. Victatrix spent most of the year continuing his studies of Herbam but spared a season to brush up on Vim through his personal stash of vis. Willace prepared for the obligatory Summer season with the Goblin King by learning a Ward from Galatrias’ donated lab text. In the Summer, he spent a fruitful time with the faeries and had a decent time learning more about their ways. He even spoke with the Goblin King about broadening their agreement. He noted that the Covenant was in need of more wealth and that further expansion of the mine could greatly assist them in this. The Goblin King agreed to think about and provide them with an answer in the future. When he returned, he spent some time in the Library working on Rego and Mentem. The Council decided to require a new spell from each magus within the next two years. They agreed that expanding the Library required a good Binder and Illuminator but resources were fairly tight at this time. The Council heard a motion to reduce the number of Grogs but Willace and Galatrias were incensed at the thought and it failed to pass. Elucia, who had made the motion, merely shrugged but noted that the rising potential of the Covenant did not depend on “men with pointy things.”
1125
Galatrias spent the entire year working on Terram again. His goal was to produce a spell and written work in 1126. Elucia spent Spring and Summer mastering Aegis of the Hearth, the new version, and decided that another season of work would be beneficial. Since the spell demanded more vis, she spent Winter extracting Vim vis to power the Ritual. Victatrix spent two seasons inventing a new Herbam spell that would entrap enemies in plant growth. He spent the remainder of the year learning more about Herbam but suffered a Twilight episode, which he navigated just barely, and survived with no mishap. Willace spent the entire year studying Auram vis for a new angle to his magics. The Council voted to install the new Aegis Ritual and Elucia successfully cast it, greatly increasing the strength of their protection. Galatrias muttered under his breath and resolved to master this new version, upset that the young woman was outstripping his knowledge in Vim.
1126
Galatrias spends the entire year extracting Vim vis. He provides several pawns to the Covenant but keeps the majority of it for his own studies. Elucia, growing concerned about the strength of her Longevity ritual convinces the Covenant to provide her with Corpus vis to study further. Both of the magi neglect their promise to provide an additional spell to the Covenant. Victatrix spends two seasons studying Auram vis in his laboratory. In the fall, he scribes his new Herbam spell, the Trapping Vines, and then spends Winter penning a short treatise on Herbam for the Library. Willace spends the next two seasons creating two offensive spells for Terram. In the Fall, he scribes his Lab Texts for the Library. Feeling antsy about the past few years, he decides to ride out into the surrounding area to drum up some action. Some minor encounters occur but the fighting appears to be moving south. Due to tension in the air, the Council decrees that Galatrias and Elucia shall spend one season in service to the Covenant and the new spell does not constitute this season. Elucia goes along with the vote as she agrees that the requirement was fair and she failed to do so. Galatrias grumbles but there is nothing to be done about it.
1127
Galatrias spends a season working on a Lab Text only to find that he had already provided it to the Library. In a late night conversation with Willace, he comes across the idea of a flaming blade. In the Summer, he retreated to his laboratory to devise a spell and found it come to him quite quickly. He spent the Fall writing a copy of it for the Library. In the Winter, he decides to pen a treatise on the Dominion titled “The Influence of the Venerated.” The book is of marginal quality but satisfies his season of service. Elucia spent two seasons creating a more powerful version of her scrying detection spell, the next season she transcribed her new Aegis and the other spell for the library. She spent the next season studying and transcribing the use of Imaginem in creating deceptions and trickery in others. She scribed the Tractatus and presented it to the Council at the Winter meeting in apology. Even Galatrias is humbled by her service, keen on learning more Imaginem as he is, and he makes his peace with her and promises assistance on her Longevity Ritual in the upcoming year. This time, in the interest of peace, she agrees to his assistance. Victatrix spent two seasons studying the Defensive Manifold and then working on his Latin for the remainder of the year. Willace spent three seasons working on developing his Parma Magica and then learned Aura of Rightful Authority from the Library. The Council decided to postpone any major decisions regarding the Tribunal until the next year. In casting the Aegis, the Council notes that all stocks of Vim vis have been depleted. It is decided that each Magus will dedicate one season of the next two years to extracting vis for the covenant. This is preferred to using their Rego stocks.
1128
Elucia spent the first two seasons extracting vis in order to complete her obligations. She began to further her studies in Vim again, extracting and then studying the results of her work. Galatrias spent Spring extracting vis for the covenant and then requested use of Rego vis for his own studies. Victrix extracted two seasons of Vim as well. He used the Fall to work on his Imaginem with Elucia’s new treatise and, in the Winter, improved his knowledge of Magical Theory. Willace spent time studying on the Dominion’s effects regarding magic. He spent several seasons working on his French to allow him further correspondence with individuals of the cause. Galatrias, at Council, agreed to go to Tribunal and hopefully speak with some of the other covenants about prospective apprentices. Due to some concerns about library organization, he was instructed to focus on trading for vis and only negotiating for books in the rare case. As for his apprentice, the Council ruled that Galatrias was behind in his duties and could not accept an apprentice without completing his tasks. Specifically, he needed to pen a Terram treatise, assist Elucia with her longevity ritual prior to taking on a student. He agreed that he was remiss in his obligations and to abide by the decision of the Council.
1129
Victarix decides to hone his legal skills by studying the Code of Hermes in the first part of the year. In the Summer, he learned a Jupiter’s Resounding Blow for purposes of protection. For the remainder of the year, he worked on his writing and comprehension with help from the library. Elucia spent the Spring practicing some magical theories to assist with her upcoming Longevity ritual. She spent the remainder of the year extracting Vim vis and providing some to the Covenant. Willace continues to work on his French until after the summer. Once he feels comfortable with the language he studies the Animal vis that the Covenant holds with their permission. Galatrias spent the spring working on Imaginem through his studies and then travelled to the Tribunal meeting. This particular meeting was ill-attended due to the issues in the center and southern parts of the Peninsula with the resumption of hostilities. He was approached by several different magi about where Practicia stood on the hostilities. He plead ignorance and was generally non-committal despite Willace’s known association with the Christian factions. One of the southern covenant members, Hidalias ex Jerbiton spent some time arguing with him to the point of Galatrias losing his temper. He quickly removed himself from the situation and spent time in the back hallways looking for someone with news of a possible apprentice. He made several contacts and arranged some beneficial trades that did more to open up interesting lines of communication than garner the covenant with a largesse of vis. He finished up the year by studying the Code after his missteps at the Tribunal. In the Winter, he worked on Magical Theory through library study in order to not disappoint the Council with his works.
1130
With Galatrias’ help, Elucia was able to reinvigorate a strong longevity ritual. The period of working together helped the two of them soften some of the rough edges in their relationship. It was decided by the two of them that more communication was necessary. Galatrias accepted her criticism of his seeming lack of dedication to the covenant in due course and he promised that he would work harder in the future. Once that was completed, Elucia turned to extracting vis for an enchantment idea that she and Galatrias had spoken of. In the winter, she spent time in the library working on her Artes Liberales. Galatrias worked on his Terram book in the summer and was successful at a basic primer. He added two spells to his repertoire in the remaining two seasons, an offensive Terram spell and a spell to assist with discovering minerals envisioning an enchanted item use. Willace continued working on Corpus and Animal throughout the year. Victatrix spent the year laboring in scholarly study on his proficiency in Catalan and his Mentem skills.
1131
Willace spent the spring working on a tractatus for Penetration. He spent Summer and Autumn working on several spells from the covenant library. In Winter, he decided to spend time with the grogs in anticipation of heading south in 1132 to assist with the efforts of other magi down there. Elucia spent some time working on her Ignem before inventing several spells for her enchanted item idea. The hope was to create a lamp that the guards could use to provide light and warmth on their watch at night. In Autumn, she designed and invented a spell that would heat a room to a comfortable temperature. In the Winter, she prepared the Guardian’s Lamp for enchantment. Victatrix volunteered to serve the summer season with the Goblin King pursuant to their agreement. In the spring, he learned the now-ubiquitous ward to stem any troublemakers amongst the goblinfolk and spent the summer beneath the mountains. Victatrix was incredibly impressed with everything that had changed with the goblinfolk since his years of captivity. He struck a friendship with the Goblin King this time around and was delighted to learn, at the end of the season, that the Goblin King would agree to allow an expansion of the mine. Victatrix left the underground kingdom promising to inform the King of any future expansions. Victatrix spent the remaining time in the year learning Terram through Galatrias primer. Galatrias himself spent time corresponding with individuals from the Tribunal in search of an apprentice. In addition, he honed his legal skills regarding the Code as he envisioned future problems with the southern magi. He spent the remainder of the year working on his skills interacting with polite society. The other covenant members grew quite amused at the dinner parties where he played host in order to improve his manner. The Council met and discussed a number of things. Willace informed the Council that he would be heading south. The other members were not pleased to learn of this but decided to allow him to travel there as he had some news of a possible vis source. He was restricted to two grogs for the duration of his trip however and all material goods acquired would be turned over to the Covenant. He agreed to these conditions. Galatrias informed the Council that he had received word that Winter that a possible apprentice had been observed in Toulouse. He planned to travel there and observe this individual for himself. If suitable, he informed the Council that he would be taking the individual as an apprentice. The Council provided permission to him. The subject of the mines came up and Victatrix volunteered to recruit a mining foreman for the expanded operations. Coinage and manpower were authorized for him to travel to Barcelona for recruitment. In addition, they noted that he should keep an eye out for a book-binder or illuminator.
1132
In the Spring, Willace traveled south with a single grog companion to join up with his fellow partisans. He spent the spring, summer and autumn working alongside military and magical allies against the heretics. His winter was spent in the company of nobles and knights as they devised a strategy for the coming spring. Elucia bent to the task of the Guardian’s Lamp, combining her Comfortable Room and Lamp Without Flame spells to create a lamp that brought forth light and heat, separately, for a duration of the sun’s passage twice a day. The enchantment process took longer than she had planned and stretched into the next year. Victatrix headed to Barcelona and took up residence. Here he was able to recruit both a mining foreman and book-binder. He sent them ahead while he decided to stay in the company of some low-tier nobles along the coast for the summer to secure his connection to them. In the fall, he struggled to learn a spell to assist with the expansion of the mining complex. Despite his success, it was clearly a difficult spell for him and he resolved to spend more time on improving his arts. In the Winter, he caught up on correspondence with his new connections in southern France. Galatrias’ quest for an apprentice took longer than planned. The prospective recruit was gone upon his arrival so he endeavored to travel a more distant road. This meandering journey, while expensive, was worth his time. In the Fall, upon turning back towards the covenant, he was delighted to discover a young girl-child with the Gift. When discussions with her parents broke down, he kidnapped the child and fled back to the Peninsula.
1133
Galatrias swore his apprentice, Elsbeta, into his service with some difficulty. She was feisty and the only language they had in common was German which Galatrias spoke very poorly. He spent all of spring showing her magics and working on his German before she accepted his proposal. Relieved, he bundled her off to their scribe for training in latin. By the end of the year, his German and her Latin had improved enough that they could converse between the two of them. He had also spent most of the year planning out her education, arranging her quarters and fussing about. He detected great potential in her. Elucia spent the entire year closeted in her laboratory studying her stocks of Vim vis. She had become greatly enamored of some ideas regarding the manipulation of spells and magic itself. Therefore, she decided that a considerable amount of energy towards Vim would be necessary. Victatrix spent the Spring working with the miners and utilizing his magical talents to point them in the right direction. It also helped him work on his local language skills. In the summer, he petitioned the others and was granted eight pawns of Rego vis to expand his studies. He spent Fall and Winter closeted in his laboratory working on the study of these materials. Willace returns to the Covenant in the Summer after the spring campaigns are unsuccessful. His plundering resulted in only 7 pounds of silver in fine goods to go into the covenant’s coffers. This adds to the new revenue from the slowly-expanding mine in the mountains. He spends summer getting things back in order. Concerned about aging, he decides to begin a new longevity ritual but the covenant lacks the vis. He spends Fall and Winter extracting Vim vis for his ritual.
1134
Willace spent Spring, Summer and Fall extracting vis for his ritual. He also arranged to teach two seasons to Galatrias’ apprentice in the next decade for his assistance with the ritual. In the Spring, Galatrias took over Elsbeta’s Latin training and she was nearly fluent when Summer came around. Galatrias also realized that teaching was a bit more difficult than he expected. To get them both used to it, Galatrias decided to teach her Catalan in the Summer and Fall. Learning the local language helped Elsbeta with her interactions amongst the covenfolk. She was left to her own devices in the Winter when Galatrias assisted Willace. Unfortunately, in designing the ritual with an assistant, Willace determined that he lacked the ability to manipulate the vis required. Galatrias agreed to honor the bargain when he found someone who could complete the ritual for him so Willace spoke to Elucia. She had spent the entire year so far replenishing her stocks of Vim. She agreed to do the ritual for Willace provided he give her two seasons of assistance in the future. He agreed and in the Fall the three of them managed to create a strong ritual for Willace. Victatrix continued his Rego studies in the Spring and returned the last pawn back to the Covenant. He spent the Summer and Fall working on Magical Theory and Winter on Muto. The Council met in the Winter and agreed that they had not done enough to procure mundane scholarly works. They proposed to contact the Redcaps for such knowledge and indicated that they would be interested in purchasing works. In exchange for two seasons of extracting vis, Victatrix was granted Rego vis.
1135
Galatrias decided that Elsbeta’s rebellious nature needed to be curbed a bit before introducing her to the magical arts. Therefore, he decided that she would spend the entire year on a grounding of scholarly subjects. Willace agreed to teach her in the Fall and Winter. So, in the Spring and Summer, Galatrias worked on teaching her to read and write and scribing duties. He figured she would be able to contribute to the covenant then. In the Fall, he spent the time to write her a primer for Magical Theory. In the Winter, he added to the Covenant stores of Vim. Willace spent Spring and Summer working on Muto and Mentem through the library. In the Fall and Winter, he provided teaching to Elsbeta in the Order and the Code. Victatrix spent the first two seasons extracting vis for the covenant. He spent the remainder of the year working on Rego. His study of the vis resulted in a minor Twilight episode that causes a single candle in every room he enters to light or extinguish. Elucia prepared in the Spring for her coming studies by enhancing the flow of magic in her laboratory. She spent Summer and Fall working on Vim spells.
