For your efforts at assisting the Festival of the Gods, you receive:
+10 Fame. +2 regard with Professor Trent, who is proud of your work. +2 regard with Professor Porfsin, who is impressed by you.
For your efforts at finding out history of space-time magics pre-codification, we will give you an extra-month bonus by dismissing the false legend you would have received (a long and storied tale about how dragons come from other worlds themselves), and leave you with some true thoughts:
Space and time magics are, in truth, derived almost entirely from the perceptions of dragons. Dragons are bound into physical, temporal forms simply as a matter of their energies coalescing in one coterminous place; they can perceive outside the limits of these bodies with no more difficulty than using any other magic. They rarely do so, however, because on the one hand they run the risk of totally screwing up space and time if too many of them do it, and on the other they run the risk of diminishing their power by spreading it too wide. The second of these probably matters much more than the first, honestly.
Interestingly, this implies that the Codification of Sundering has actually rendered that Curriculum more powerful than what dragons can do, by making scrying and summoning possible to accomplish with much less danger to the user. It also offers some insight into the Codification of Intimation, which relies on invocations to a distant power to answer questions rather than direct act of perception.
