Akh nodded.

"Once I figure out what this is I'll send you a note. Perhaps it may help with proceedings?"

[Dare would know by Afternoon 4 that it is the Wand of Wonder.]

"‘I'll have it done in no time.’ is the official answer approved by the Fraternity of Order. It should not be interpreted as a reasonable estimation of the actual time it will take to complete a task in any way, shape, or form.

Joke aside, I'll get to it as soon as possible, but can't make any promise on any timeframe for resolution. Maybe a day, maybe a week. Hopefully closer to the former than the later.

If I knew for sure when to expect result, I would change my career from science to divination."

"And obtaining the results of such a scrutiny takes how much time?"

"Overseeing anti contraband operations is indeed part of my attributions as a member of the Custom Offices. The on site menial work, I delegate to members of other factions with a fancy for showing off their muscles."

"I suppose this is something cut out for you, Dare Shah, to oversee such a curb?"

"Oh, definitely. The silver lining of today's chaos is that it shouldn't be hard to persuade the office to unlock the necessary resources for a crack down on dangerous magical items circulating the city. Which, even it ends up of little impact on the current affair, should at least help prevent a few other tragedies in the making from unfolding."

"If the easier categories are excluded, it can at least be inferred that we're facing a greater power?"

"Depends on channels used. To simplify, I will class them in three broad categories: Legal, contraband, and big magical guns.

The first two I can look at, even if in part through proxies for the second.

The later, things like conjuring gold out of thin air, teleportation in Sigil from outside Sigil... It's more complicated."

In principle, that was a reasonable poin, but...

"I don't think I have the capacity to scrutinise such transactions. Do you?"

"Fancy stuff you've got there, whatever it actually is. In general, whoever is paying for all that chaos seems to have deep pockets.

The money trail might be easier to follow than the magical trail actually. People skilled in the arcane arts are not necessarily nearly as competent as hiding their mundane tracks."
