"Yeah, they're not handling things low on the priority list well even given how thin they're spread."

"I'll suggest that someone with a dying mortal spouse send them an impassioned plea for the wish for it."

"I can get them to listen to me, I just need to know what to say."

"I can set up an appointment for you to talk to the King, you can figure something out?"

"Sure, when's good?"

"I can probably move some of this afternoon's appointments around, let me check -"

Waiting waiting Elves are slow...

"Yep, looks like I can get you one this evening."

"Okay, when?"

"Eighteen local work?"

"Okay."

And she is back then.

"Hello! Thank you for stopping by here. I'm Midnight."

"I'm Tireh!"

"And you want to convince the peal to let some of our people have the wished on accelerated magic item making so that we can give them necklaces?"

"Yep."

"I think we should go through the objections I expect them to have and see if we can figure out a way to reassure them. We can use the power to do lots of other stuff; in particular, there are mind-controlling magic items."

"So basically you need a way for them to catch you if you're doing that, or convince them you won't. You have some artifact-making capacity already; is there anything you could do with a lot of it that you wouldn't be doing a scaled-down version of already?"

"Immortality's the big one. Widespread distribution of the touch healing spell but I haven't been doing that for the obvious reasons. Everything else, scale matters a lot less - though the wished-on power also accelerates new magic development. As far as I know there's no way to tell what a necklace does."

"Yeah, if they were really concerned about mind control items they'd be concerned at pretty low numbers, observe how they are not."

"And I assume they are concerned about giving out the touch healing but they haven't actually expressed concern there."

"They're concerned about giving out the alphabet; if you could do the one without the other they'd be happy to share that one around very liberally."

"As far as I understand it they go together. The point is, the fact they haven't said anything to me about it is not enough to conclude they're not very stressed by the prospect, so I can't just stay on their good side by avoiding anything they've asked me not to do."

"As I understand it you also don't ask them if stuff would bother them?"

"...once I had the means to do something about human diseases and child mortality I was going to do it whether they approved or not, asking for permission and then ignoring that it was declined seemed worse than not asking."

"Yeah, okay, so asking would be fraught. I do think they'd descend upon you in force if they thought mind-control was happening, though."
