It is both boon and unfortunate fact that the Inquisition relies largely upon spirit healers. I can little blame those who are wary, and hope that our new additions may encourage some to seek treatment where they would not otherwise.
Magical healing is a luxury I confess I have grown used to, but it is a rare art, which most will go their lives without encountering. The recent strike only underscores the importance of furthering other research: If the Provost proves amenable, I will agree to split funding between our divisions.
However, I cannot at this time grant you access to corpses. The Veil is precariously thin here; for all our work to strengthen it, leaving bodies about remains a serious hazard to life, limb, and reputation. Anatomical studies are accordingly difficult to come by, but perhaps a necromancer or one of our University scholars might at least suggest alternatives.
As regards blood magic: I have been previously required to investigate certain surgeons, but I regret my association will mean less than it once did. Ser Caron or Seeker Reed might vouch for the work if required. While I am disinclined to conceal information any further than necessary, if Ser Ashlock wishes to investigate a means of mechanical protection, I will await a followup report with his recommendations.
At the risk of bludgeoning you with names, Cosima Niehaus is a scholar of her world, and I may speak to Enchanter Vauquelin’s skill with a blade. [ hah :( ] I think them both likely to take interest in this research.
My gratitude to each of you, for your diligence and discretion. It is a credit.
Regards, — Ser Coupe.
[ ooc note - i'm working on the best way to organize it, but either way i'll take it to the mods & let you guys know after. currently thinking a doc linked to a forces post for this & the pets one, and just reminding people to fill it out when doing new assignment posts in the ooc comm.
