Well, the thesis is not specifically a written thesis. We all appear to have had the knee-jerk "Oh great, essay" reaction (Or maybe you guys are all
terrible overachievers halfway decent writers and therefore enjoy essays more than me and my aching wrist), but other "Thesis" projects include streamlined circuitry. Meaning gadgetry.
Our Princess has become a
little unstable, enjoys daring tricks, and enjoys accurately zapping things with wands of lightning. (It seemed more reasonable than trying to overjustify a foray into our Wand of Heroism's wondrous traits)
Speaking of which, should we use the Wand next turn? Perhaps we could devise a version that increases intelligence, improving our research, strategies, and tactics.
Master Mage-Priest of the Academy of Magic,
to His Royal Highness, King Moskurg
Most joyous greetings, my liege. I have the distinct honor today of presenting you the summary of your daughter's Thesis. She has done wonderful work for all of Moskurg, and glorified herself and her family in the eyes of Allah.
Her Highness showed obvious proficiency and love for the magical carpets we now use. As a result, she had spent much time learning all she could about the carpets, what they do, and how they do it. Therefore, when informed of the Thesis, she immediately chose to improve upon her magic carpet. She requested, and was promptly given, one of every iteration of our flying carpets, and a manual on the manufacturing and upkeep methods used by our soldiers. Using them, she was able to produce a few revolutions in carpet design and development.
She has taken her great love of acrobatics in the air, and, in order to produce a better platform, revisited the original carpet. She has managed to turn her personal carpet back into, well, a carpet. It is flat once more, upturned at the edges (Prevents things and riders from easily sliding off the edge of a banking carpet), and capable of bearing the same weight evenly across the surface without bending. Her carpet, due to various tinkering, is also faster and nimbler than a regular War Pegasus. While not capable of carrying more weight than a War Pegasus, the Princess's carpet provides an excellent surface for both acrobatics and carrying things. As for how, I will not bore you to much with the details, but, as far as I can understand, my liege, your daughter managed to combine the much-praised control we have recently developed over our holy lightning spells and the creation of the wind enchantments for our carpets.
It is thus possible for me to, without boast or exaggeration, declare your daughter this year's most accomplished Magical Academy graduate. It is also possible for me to most highly recommend one of her improved carpets, as it is quite safe, so long as you do not intentionally turn it upside down in flight, while hanging from one of the tassels, which I must mention, your daughter has done.
Quite regularly.
Oops, hope I don't get edit-ninja'd.
I'll try and set up a vote box here. Let me know if I've managed to miss a thesis proposal.

Shameless self-vote again, I know, but I really think we stand the best chance if we do something that would cater to our heir's tastes. And plus, who doesn't agree that royalty flying to meetings on a carpet (That isn't awkwardly rolled up and saddled) isn't the best kind of royalty?
