I am exempt from AC this month due to 2 weeks+ of hiatus, but I'm wondering if I'll still get results from last month's chosen activities?

Also, I did participate in two threads at least for Research last month, they were just cut quite short due to hiatus, so I understand if that doesn't qualify Louie for... Whatever happens this month as a result of participation.

Professor Trammel, noting your desire for defense, posits to you that in the case of true danger where you do not wish to fight, retreat is no shame at all. To this extent he has given you a small pellet which, when hurled to the ground, erupts in smoke that obscures the vision of all present except you.

Fluttershy's efforts at employing the magic she has learned have resulted in:

Special Spell: You Look Familiar. When this spell is cast, the wizard gains an effective +3 to their Familiar Bond rating with all their Familiars for the purposes of communication. Though difficult to maintain for long periods, an average wizard will generally not overexert themselves to have a conversation with a Familiar. This spell cannot be easily taught to anyone who has not done extensive research in Familiar communication.

Fluttershy's efforts at improving her Familiar Bond have resulted in:

Camillah Birony

Something about Lena has caught the Headmaster's eye, and in an uncharacteristically sensible moment, she has given the young duckling a ward that, when placed on a door, will cause that door to open into the Headmaster's Office. Headmaster Birony has said she's always open to talk, if Lena ever wishes.

Isabel's efforts efforts at studying her bracelet have resulted in the following upgrade:

The Musical Force Projector (Mastered)

A bizarre item that blends or rather confuses Fantastics, Discovery, and Thaumaturgy, the Musical Force Projector is exactly as it sounds. This bracelet, when worn, can project force in various ways -- a line, a shield, a wall -- so long as its wearer is directing its magic through a song of some sort. If the wearer's voice falters, so too do the effects, but it stays strong for as long as its wielder can do the same. When used by Isabel, the bracelet no longer needs music to function. Instead, whenever it is in use it emits its own music, always appropriate to the effort it is being used for.

Isabel's attendance at bala-inlota practices has resulted in:

Positive regard from Alyse Lominia (x2)

Cliff's efforts at Forging have resulted in:
An Item of Power (custom). Design an item of power with a mild effect, such as a sword that bursts into flames, a hat that changes shapes and styles, etc. This represents successful Forging by Cliff.

An Answer. As a question of the research team, and they will give you the best answer they as a collective can provide.

Hel's efforts at mastering a dark energy projectile spell have resulted in:

A really big argument between Professors Kith, Loshakle, and Trammel about whether 'dark energy' is pure magical energy infused with certain qualities, the comparative absence of light, or a fundamental cosmic force normally uninteracted with.
Positive regard from Headmaster Birony.
Custom Spell: Birony's Answer. This spell hurls a bolt of dark energy at an opponent. Headmaster Birony came up with it on the spot. None of the Professors feels this is at all satisfying, but no one can deny that the spell attacks with dark energy.

Hel's efforts at studying at the Library of Fire and Ash have resulted in:

Not being caught and placed in detention (roll of 15).

Orisa's efforts at finding a substitute for her shield projector have resulted in:

An Item of Power
Unwebbing Web

By pointing the arm this bracelet is worn on and speaking a word of power, the user may project a field of force shaped like a web. While resilient and incredibly hard to break, the web also can let through gasses, liquids, and even small projectiles. It is generally intend for use on a battlefield, where enemy wizards do not have the luxury to aim spells carefully through the gaps.

Blessing:
Dragon Mind. Ire, strongly concerned about what his kin will do to a non-native dragon, writes back with a number of suggestions and techniques to use against the potential of mental influence. He cautions you that dragons do not scruple to use magic that the school calls 'Dictation'.

This blessing may be expended for utter immunity to any one dragon's efforts at mental influence for 24 hours. (Spyro does not count as a dragon for the purpose of this spell. He cannot use it to stop himself from talking himself into a terrible idea, for example.)
