10.I

The subject continues to express a capacity of sorcery and other acumen unheard of by any mortal practitioner.

As noted earlier the subject presents a considerable capacity for language. Although not universal, it appears erratically and randomly, but with such a completeness it must be some form of sorcery.

To date the subject has shown fluency in old cantor (in written form) and the local dialect of the Ridgevualic languages, as well as immediate fluency in Uloghai (of which until now only one speaker still lived).

However there is a frustrating and inconsistent nature to fluency in knowledge of the speaking of language. It has been proved that the subject was uncomprehending of the southwestern dialect of the Freemen due to observations made and testimony there of.

Although even in freemanish the subjects recites the sounds perfectly despite incomprehension.2

What the common ground between which languages are understood by the subject and which are not remains elusive. Furthermore are the peculiarities which surround the subject when divinity is involved! And on this deeper findings have been made and verified.

Unfortunately the first indication of this peculiarity was initially missed entirely.1

It appears that in most cases of direct divine intervention, perception or even communication the subject and possibly all other Tyrant wyrms is inviolate. This nature has its outliers, the Veles is a known divinity and has conversed repeatedly while wearing a sanctified man.

It is however so far consistent outside this one case.

The Veles as a deity from my study holds strong associations with mountains, earth and springs. Such elements for the uneducated (as I was) are most commonly associated with old wyrm cults, which may be a factor in the difference between the nature of the Veles and its interaction with the subject vs other Star born.

Further study will be needed on precisely what the relationship between Wyrms and the divine are. This researcher marks the recommendation to form an expedition with a priest or monk to engage with a feral wyrm and invoke a deity to verify how widespread this property is.

In addition to these findings however is the far more important revelation.

Another widespread working has been made by the subject!

Furthermore this act also has finally verified a quantifiable and comparable limit on acts of sorcery for at least a younger specimen of the progressively inaccurate description of Tyrant Wyrm.

By her own admittance it can be said that the complete transformation of eight hundred men (without disrupting the mind, character or memory thereof at all!) is comparable to a true expenditure of the power previously described by the subject as Wyrmflame.

In all previous examples of workings and even the release of the flame anathema in quantities sufficient to annihilate thousands of soldiers a full recovery of ‘wyrmflame’ has been observed in less than a day. But the expenditure to permanently transform (however incredibly unintrusive and functional the result might be) proved to leave an impact on the stated reserves of the subject for an entire winter following the working!

The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

This is the first indication of a proper boundary to the powers of the subject, Until now Sorcerous workings have consistently been performed that would strain a Weird anywhere but their own domain or otherwise prepared ground.

But as already noted2 the subject has not even noticed any but an immediate strain on their abilities in such cases.

Furthermore the transformation is incredible in how little was changed!

Across the subjects that have been observed, full mental facilities, disposition, memory (in some cases even improved beyond what existed previously!), physical strength (despite reduced size, apparent build and weight!) and senses have more or less remained completely intact across the threshold of the working!

Furthermore, although it would be best for one with a closer truth to verify (alas our contact with an expert in the truth of blood and flesh has been severed) by my own examination the ensorceled are genuinely younger in more than appearance!

When compared to the closest comparable workings of my own truth and that of others known to me in the circle, a transformation which preserved even one of these aspects of a target completely would be noteworthy3 .

But to have all of them, with only the salient goals enacted?

It speaks to a depth of precision and agility in the formation of sorcery that has henceforth not been fully exposed until now. As mentioned previously there has been evidence that a Sorcerous Wyrm can enact forms and changes which were at the limits of any other mortal practitioner.

Observation and study of both the enacting of such wyrmish sorcery and the products of its working should continue!

In addition to this while obligations of the contract of fealty required this researcher's attention elsewhere a further sorcerous activity occurred and was conveyed anecdotally.

The presence of a sufficiently devoted population in close proximity to the subject acting with the intent for revelry has been noted by the subject to have a sufficient impact on the facilities4 of the Tyrant wyrm that an avoidance of such conditions was sought out.

While this phenomena was unfortunately not directly observed by this author the subject spoke of feeling what this researcher surmises as a wild ritual of some sort acting on and filling their wyrmflame.

Whether this is caused by the aforementioned depleted reserves or would occur even if the subject was ‘full’ on Wyrmflame is a matter of speculation.

This author will request a chance to observe the subject during the next opportunity to investigate the phenomena directly for clarity.
