    Summary

    TITLE: Light-based spell with pressure-activated overlapping ring (colloq., “The Glowstone Path”)

    DESCRIPTION: Produces hands-free, maintenance-free illumination of paved footpaths for both public safety and decorative purposes. The sigil and signs are cut into the inside-facing surfaces of the stone, eliminating physical wear and the need for regular redrawing of the seal. The pressure-activation mechanism (i.e., by stepping on the top stone) leaves the spell dormant when not in use (i.e., being stepped upon), allowing the spell to be perpetually self-regenerating. As all components of the spell are concealed beneath the top stone, it is acceptable for Unknowing as well as Witch usage.

    A record of Olruggio's patent applications and personal correspondence (with his clients and his Qifrey) over the years.

    Summary

    There it was, that thing Qifrey did, where he offered a piece of himself wrapped in observation about someone else, like a gift hidden inside a gift, and you had to decide whether to unwrap the second layer or pretend you had only received the first. Olruggio had spent half his life learning to read these offerings and in doing so he had become the foremost scholar of a language spoken by exactly one person in all the world.

    "I'm stubborn because someone has to be," he said. "You'd float away on your own mysteries if no one kept you tethered."

    "Perhaps." The maddingly sad smile again. "Perhaps that's so."

    In which Olruggio brings tea to Qifrey's study on a damp evening and finds him working in the dark again, the staff out and the fire dying.

    Summary

    Olruggio knows he’s being haunted, but for the past year he’s been averaging three unfulfilled commissions and four hours of sleep, so he has more important things to worry about.

    or

    The ghost in Olruggio’s home occasionally makes him tea. He’s dangerous, nonetheless.
