In a letter sent to Unigo Headmaster Keani, Researcher Saphamira, and the Lonely Inn owner Ehlanna:
Dear Esteemed members,
Enchantment is the cornerstone of this nation. Magic wonders such as portals shorten distances that would otherwise slow the flow of information and sever the empire into pieces; magical armaments secure its borders and its infrastructure. Even the Inn in which many of us live is replete with magic, from the lights within to the collars on the slaves which hold them bound to the building themselves.
Which leads me to my point.
I wish to conduct an exhaustive study of the functions of the slave collar enchantments for the Lonely Inn, in particular the harm inhibition and operational range. The Inn's collars ability to render their wearers unable to do any harm to another, as well as keeping them rooted to a five-mile radius of the building itself, are largely considered to be unbreakable.
Research demands this statement be tested and proven through exhaustive study. As such, I would like to propose a series of tests of the collars' functionality and limitations.
I propose a slave by the name of Solace for the experiments, which will consist of a series of attempts to compel the slave to inflict harm and an observation of the results, as well as a series of attempts to have her travel beyond the movement limit. Know that i shall endeavor that no lasting harm be inflicted on her, nor to the collar (such tests will be proposed to be carried out with a test collar separately to avoid potential loss of property).
As such, I formally request permission to carry out this experiment personally, within the limits of my abilities (and that spells beyond my abilities be subject of outside assistance on a case-for-case basis).
Please consider my request so that we may determine a more comprehensive methodology and timeframe.
In the name of knowledge,
Sarmani Moretti, Student of Magic
((Solace{LI} and I discussed the idea, and we thought it was an interesting storyline idea. Pending approval from Ehlanna))
