"Alchemy: Soul, mind, matter, the Fallen World and the Supernal Realms." was finally over! Four long weeks it has taken him - on top of the research and the weeks he spent on the first draft. But it was over. Corn was proud for this achievement. He would be the first - probably and hopefully - to add something new to the Athenaum.
5 successes
He was proud of the work he has done. It has taken a big bite of his free time and he had to dodge a few social obligations. But it was done. A comprehensive and critical review on alchemy from various different perspectives, mostly sleeper but some from mages including his own take. It provided him with new insight as he was spending months putting the article together from the information. He was also wiser and more knowledgeable now than when he started the 34 pages manuscript he now had saved in a flash-drive on his old laptop - the one not connected to the internet.
34 pages of research and about 2 months of work. It would save several hours from people wanting to find credible and reliable sources and provide a reliable starting point. Perhaps he should ask Campanella to send it to the Mysterium Order of a different city as well - if he considered it good enough. Sacramento didn't have to be cut off from the world.
5 successes out of 5 needed. Used a -1 penalty as Corn was going for something better than average.
