Discord Summary: 2025-W27

• Lyssandra delivers a note to Vael and Ioannis from an unnamed source offering to buy “a very large quantity of Arcanum.” Lyssandra identifies the sender as “the goblin who runs the rarities factor, probably the second richest person in Gosterwick,” and advises being nice when turning him down. She has heard Arcanum is “a magic orange metal found within Arden Vul that can be used as a spell component” but has never seen any. [#Wicktrimmer | 2025-07-13]

• Alchemy attempt failed (must pay extra); Research succeeded. [#town-rolls | 2025-07-11]

• Alchemy succeeded (discount); Research revealed a rumor. [#town-rolls | 2025-07-13]

• The “Find Common Familiar” scroll allows finding common familiars (Bat through Viper); other versions for exotic familiars may exist but this is not that. In-universe treated as a spell but mechanically an advantage (cost is Familiar advantage points: 31-38 points for common familiars). Available to all 4 spellcaster types (requires Magery, Bardic Talent, or Power Investiture). Basic advantages are mandatory; “Further traits” optional.

• Familiars and granted abilities are unaffected by Nature’s Strength, Sanctity, and Mana level (unless no mana/etc.). They cannot enter no-mana/sanctity/nature zones; if involuntarily forced into such a zone, they are forcibly unsummoned. [#questions-for-gm | 2025-07-13]

• Familiar’s FP serves as owner’s ER. If familiar rests, owner regains ER. Familiars stay at 25% of owner’s points, so they are slightly weaker if owner < 250 points, slightly stronger if > 250 points. [#questions-for-gm | 2025-07-13]
