The question with The Wizard, The Witch and the Wild One was always going to be "which worldbuilding detail will I find to fixate on", not "will I find something to fixate on", and the results are in:

it's the naming conventions

In Suvi's corner of the story so far we've had Soft, Stone, Steel, Archmage Silence, and Silver ... and Suvirin.

It's a clear convention but has not yet been lampshaded by any of the cast, which is of course delicious.

Is it an Empire convention, a Citadel one, a wizardly one? I'm guessing Citadel/wizard, since people like Roselyn and Grandmother Wren are presumably Empire citizens but don't follow the convention.

But is it something adopted later in life? Because Suvi follows the initial S but otherwise breaks the convention of the name being a dictionary word. Will she be expected to pick – or be bestowed with – a dictionary S-word when she's no longer an apprentice, is that it?

And if so ... what will it be? Sand? (sort of combines Soft + Stone)

OR did Soft and Stone break convention when they named their daughter?

Some of you have never used your magic luck powers to find and open a dry bar and cafe with your boyfriend who also has magic luck powers to provide a safe space and sanctuary for people in the lgbtqia+ community who are in a bad situation and who end up becoming part of your found family that you use your magic powers to protect and soothe when things get rough and it shows

Basically in this episode and the next one I miss a couple of golden opportunities to use Fate's Create an advantage roll, one of my favourite Fate mechanics, and instead force some bastard child of an Overcome roll and a D&D-style "I guess just see how high you get" kind of thing the DM reaches for when they're not sure what mechanic applies (it me, I'm the DM)

A body in the back room. A mysterious figure fleeing the scene. What’s a newbie PI to do but give chase?
