Experiment I — Basin Test
Objective: Observe immediate resonance between Apprentice Starscribe and diluted Well-water sample.
Procedure: Dilution 1:10 by volume. Subject instructed to conjure standard luminal sphere while maintaining fingertip contact with surface.
Observations: Ripple pattern formed counter to touch pressure, radiating inward before dispersing outward in perfect symmetry. Audible tone (low A-sharp) registered for 3.6 seconds. Basin illumination held after cessation of casting.
Subject Response: No distress. Reported sensation of "breathing in tandem with the water."
Addendum — V.D.:The Well does not yield to her; it accompanies her.
Experiment II — Reflection Trial
Objective: Detect reactive harmonics through mirrored medium.
Setup: Suspended disc of Well-water stabilized via levitation weave. Subject instructed to sustain visual focus only.
Result: Mirror remained unnaturally still for 12 heartbeats. A faint shimmer—violet, concentric—appeared around reflection's eyes independent of subject motion.
Spectral Reading: Peak at 436 nm (ley-violet) sustained 1.2 sec post-trial.
Interpretation (V.D.):The Weave observes in return.
Experiment III — Resonant Ink Study
Objective: Measure sympathetic charge in subject's written runes.
Materials: Scribe's ink infused with trace Well essence.
Process: Subject inscribed six runes of containment. Secondary overlay performed by transcriber (J.T.) using neutral ink.
Result: Primary script emitted faint luminescence; secondary overlay warmed slightly, no visible glow.
Control Comparison: Baseline runes by J.T. alone = null reaction.
Conclusion: Resonance persists through medium; written intent acts as vector.
Marginal Note (V.D.):Her lineage of scribes may not be incidental.
Experiment IV — Harmonic Chamber Test
Objective: Quantify frequency synchronization with ambient ley hum.
Environment: Sound-dampened chamber, resonance crystals arrayed in hexagram.
Procedure: Subject maintained steady mana thread for count of 60. Crystals tuned incrementally.
Result: Amplitude fluctuations decreased 27 % in subject's presence—contrast: non-Vael'theran control increased 11 %.
Inference: Subject stabilizes local ley turbulence. Possible natural harmonic anchor.
Personal Note (J.T.): "Feels calmer in there when she's casting."
Experiment V — Emotional Catalyst Observation
Objective: Assess effect of emotional variance on resonance.
Procedure: Subject recalled voluntary memory (joy, maternal praise). Basin coloration observed through prism lenses.
Result: Spectral hue shifted from standard azurite to rose-gold. Duration ≈ 18 sec.
Secondary Memory (grief) induced indigo flare ≈ 6 sec with minor resonance drop.
Analysis (V.D.):Emotion governs amplitude, not stability.
Annotation (Starlys): Confirmed correlation = strong.
Experiment VI — Ley-Thread Calibration
Objective: Detect involuntary ley alignment.
Apparatus: Miniature ley map etched on marble; sand of charged quartz tracing currents.
Procedure: Subject stood adjacent, no casting.
Observation: Threads oriented toward subject radius 0.4 cm/s, forming shallow spiral. Upon departure, currents relaxed within nine minutes.
Conclusion: Ambient leylines show attraction to subject's presence—consistent with resonance polarity predicted by Codex Fragment IV.
Experiment VII — The Silence Test
Objective: Measure passive feedback between subject and Weave absent active magic.
Method: Subject seated before Basin A, eyes closed, no incantation. All wards dormant.
Reading: Ley-hum baseline 42.1 Hz; fell to 38.3 Hz within five heartbeats. Environment otherwise stable.
Interpretation: Localized stilling of ambient flow—a listening effect.
Addendum (V.D.):If the Weave breathes, she is its pause between exhalations.
