    There enhancing of the plant paper seems have a bit of a blind spot. The paper they are starting with is already a quasi magical tool (of admittadly low quality). Wouldn’t it make sense to try improving the quality at the production stage instead of after the fact?

      Hmm… that idea does have potential. There are of course many unknowns that would need to be found out via experiment.

      • Can you mix fibres of different feyplants together without them rejecting each other in some way?
      • Can you even get a properly even mix of the fibres, to ensure the whole sheet is uniform in it’s characteristics?
      • Will mixing them together like that, result in the combined properties, like the fusing?
      • Can it be done without mana by commoners, or does it need actual brewing? -> key question for whether it can be mass produced?
      • Can this combined paper be upgraded to the same level as the outcome of upgrading seperate types of paper and fusing them?
      • If so, does it take more or less resources to upgrade the base-combined paper, than upgrading the pure ones and fusing them afterwrads?
        • For that matter… what will happen if they first fuse the three types and only go through the gold dust enhancement afterwards?

      If they are in a rush, I wonder if they would have time to do that. Making paper takes longer than a few days and they would have to try multiple different ways to make it, then wait for days for the results and see which changes made the best changes, improve based on that, and repeat this process multiple times. Going with Clarissa’s idea and hunting for feybeast skin might be quicker.

      Though I do agree that improving the process for making the initial paper is something Rozemyne should do in the future.
