(Summer 1222)
Whilst sitting in his little hut watching the eggs, three days running Martin noticed strange things happening with his cooking pot.
On the first day his meal burned dry
On the second it was too salty
On the third it just would not warm at all (even though he watched it intently for 12 hours straight)
During the same Season, Pumilius noticed that the Aura was occasionally flickering to only +2, and that the effect seemed to slowly get more frequent (although the majority of the time it was still +3). Tethys suggested that the pact that the three junior magi had entered into needed fullfuling, and Pumilius wrote to Valeri to ask him to find an expert on the local Lore (Valeri was residing near the southern cathedral in Skaholt during this time.
