Research Briefing
- Confidential ***
This aura is a curious thing indeed. When the aura is released, it disperses outward in four directions spreading to each rat it encounters. The aura is weak. Its range is but a few feet.
Note that the aura can not cure a diseased rat unless it first encounters one that is healthy. We are unable to account for this sympathetic effect.
When the aura encounters a healthy rat it ricochets back in the other direction, curing each diseased rat between the originator of the aura and the
healthy rat the aura
encountered. The aura then
disperses.
The object of this test is to place the Enchanted Rats in such a way as to eliminate the disease from all rats involved in the test. Do this by taking a jar that contains a Live Enchanted Rat and putting it directly into a Tile.
For safety reasons, the test must be completed within 6 standard Norrathian hours.
The diagrams illustrate the aura's magic flow. Give this briefing to Velarte to begin the test.
Key:
O = Healthy Rat X = Diseased Rat

In diagram 1, if an Enchanted Rat is placed on the Tile below a diseased rat, there is no effect. The aura did not encounter a healthy rat and did not reverse its flow.
