**Magic/Exploits:** Flaw Sight (passive) — notices a ward-jar on the third shelf has a resonance gap between second and third anchors causing moisture seepage. No active exploits.
**Plot threads opened:** Guild application pending (6 weeks); house/land dream (1,300 silvers needed); Mere introduction (unnamed); Flaw Sight established as constant/involuntary; Gavren aware Phelan will leave.

Micro-hook: faint magical trace near shack door — old residue from a warded object, filed and dismissed.
**Chapter-ending state:** Quiet hook. Phelan falls asleep thinking about the unnamed woman.

**Magic/Exploits:** Flaw Sight (passive/active) — sees channeling efficiency loss from chisel slip at Aldric's. Mere's curse management approach described (binding salts + silverthorn).
**Plot threads opened/advanced:** Mere relationship developing (name learned, first date); cursed dog subplot introduced; Mere's home life tension hinted (mother rearranges workspace past sixth bell); Thursday meeting set.
**Plot threads opened/advanced:** Mere relationship developing (name learned, first date); cursed dog subplot introduced; Mere's home life tension hinted (mother rearranges workspace past sixth bell); Thursday meeting set. Mere mentions someone told her about binding salts' dampening properties (seeds Devod family knowledge). Micro-detail: booted footsteps on mill road at night, catalogued. Coffee-rejection noise parenthetical added.
**Chapter-ending state:** Micro-hook. Phelan falls asleep thinking about flaws — in kettles, in curses, and in bedrooms that feel too small.

**Magic/Exploits:** Flaw Sight (passive) — reads guild building ward architecture. Combat magic concealment — Phelan lies about having only basic defensive work.
**Plot threads opened/advanced:** Guild membership accepted (Tier One); guild structure revealed (20% commission, retainer, code); guild intelligence network demonstrated; Phelan's background filled in (Brannick's Academy, Caldburn hometown, mother living/no contact, no father); combat magic concealment established; observer noticed pause on combat question; house timeline recalculated (13 years from 40).

Noise parenthetical at guild acceptance (financial recalculation, thirteen replacing forty). External threat seed: woman in gray coat seen near guild building, then again during walk home.
**Chapter-ending state:** Resolution with forward momentum. 15 silvers, first non-austerity meal. Two-week window before first engagement.

**Magic/Exploits:** Recap of dog cure (Exploit #1). Leon's Vethani Crypts exploit described (Exploit #2 — noise overload, 400 inputs). Phelan's fire magic test: sluggish, weak, unpracticed 4–5 years.
**Plot threads opened/advanced:** Guild career begins; Barrows job (NS-7714) introduced; combat magic rust confirmed; Leon's refusal to join guild; Mere relationship deepening (bedroom too small); Sniff named; Greymarch Barrows foreshadowed (pre-Compact, residual wards, cave stalkers, 3 confirmed kills in last decade).

Leon mentions Carterson (ward-resistance compounds, guild quarter edge) — name-drop referral. Dramatized Thresholds visit: amplification sequence discussion with Mere; customer asks about unbreakable curses (seeds Floundry); Mere mentions her father dismissively (seeds Devod).
**Chapter-ending state:** Micro-hook. Phelan produces a weak, flickering fire from his palm. Two days until the Friday briefing.
