Journal - So this happened today

Page looks very damp and the ink prone to run, water spots also marking the page

I'm wet. I'm soaked.

I did get it stopped.

And just so you know, enchanted water does not react to spells the same as real water.

Not the first time I've had a bad reaction with an estate sale buy.

So very wet.

	Painting. An older one. At least a couple of centuries on it, probably more. I'm not knowledgeable enough to be able to tell you. I'm suspecting they were very personalized. I might be able to break down the charm, but I won't be able to do it in my work room. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Excellent news. Apparently the painting contacts are better than the photography ones. And yes that age makes sense with the spellwork starting to fail and the subject. I expect between us we can probably date it to within twenty years, more likely closer to five in either direction. But we have the history of magical art training to a whole other level thanks to how apprenticeships work. Looking I'd guess closer to three centuries than two, but I'm not the most experienced around here.

We artists are a weird bunch. Some things stay consistent for centuries, other things change very couple of decades or depending on the mood or skill of the artist. I don't think anyone should be doing this without waterproof boots and clothes they don't mind covering in water and/or paint (sometimes the whole thing can break down and the result isn't pretty).

Braith says it will probably take a week or so for her friend to be set to travel, if you have somewhere safe to store it until then we'd be grateful.
