So this kid will be in Ecruteak around Christmas and he's been approved to receive a magical artifact for his item drop. A fully-functional artifact. It generates mana! It can transform into a creature to fight for you! ...Except that since Domri hasn't regained his spellcasting ability he can't use the mana to cast spells. And it doesn't generate enough mana to turn it into a creature. So really all it does it sit and be magical.

Would Kayneth be interested in examining it/being jealous about Domri getting it/snickering at Domri's frustration that it's totally useless?
