Cio held the task roster aloft with air magic, her tome in one hand, and a delicate image of what others were saying in though, in another. In the meeting with three others, she nodded at Nallihen's idea.
"I first agree that we should optimize what people do rather than just because we can do such. I myself may not be able to do anything unless such esoteric magic lessens its hold on our royal ward: Alongside that, I do respect your idea of feeling paranoid, Enoch, but I doubt that this guild is as spiteful as if it was built on assumptions and personal agency to act, rather than why this guild exists in the first place. It is only three weeks of effort, meaning such spells cast on the Princess are temporary. I'll be sending word to the cucumber mage and, for you as our Dagon mage, to please work with each other in demystifying our ward. As the timing, however, of another matter is altogether unannounced, I will try to handle the coming of our council checker, who I presume will come every two weeks if the first visit was anything to speak about. Otherwise, I am open to requests, but I do hope for organization with our weekly actions here, other than the many mundane tasks we all look after (such as food and petty cash finances)."
She began to write messages (utilizing her air magic for speed and finesse) and sent them speeding out of the room to the respected mages' resting chambers for ease of communication.
"Now what's on those messages is a sense of unity. What I vaguely suspected--but never spoke about--was why there is a reason on the council's lack of deliberation and consistency regarding choices; I did put in petty arguments and strange notions that are all too common with clashing ideals, but it doesn't fit the fact that supposedly better mages more skilled than us cannot reach a decision given their arbitration prowess. This is emphasis of even our skills failing due to external circumstances. Meaning: I believe there are other forces playing their hand on the princess' stake here, even if they work through our actions. We are skilled people--not the best--but adept in what we do, and something has been modifying our plans and results, at least in the extreme in subtlety. Either way, it is merely speculation at this point, but a consistent one at that. I will be tending to other matters now, either aiding with resuscitating the princess, or casting a field of illusion to...cover up, anything if there is another surprise checker this week much like last. If my presumption is correct of an otherworldly force towards or on the princess' fate, I do hope it is not actively against us."
Cio messages all mages who...err, currently affected the Princess with dem tentacles (sans Nallihen because she just talked to him) to please cooperate and fix what's going on. She also adds a request for some organization with the spells being cast, as it does not seem our skill alone is playing a part into the results.
IF there is a council or something checker this week, Cio will...illusion a state of "EVERYTHING IS OKAY"ness on the whole area of what the checker will check, obviously not relying on her novitiate knowledge (this is backup instead), but her social knowledge!
Otherwise, her goal this week is to tend to the princess without training--either using her life magic for helping out with removal of pesky magics, or just speaking to her and acting like an emotional support and venting person, acting like a rolemodel rather than training any magics. Perhaps this is a different skill altogether that isn't magic?
