"If those are the only three and the gods don't give Fox's Cunning, I've presumably got the other two. Sounds like Eagle's Splendour wouldn't be that useful for learning magic, trouble is, I don't know which is which, so I'll save both for the end of the day."
He can think of all sorts of angles on the spellsilver stuff - off the top of his head, there's figuring out why there isn't a Mine Spellsilver that teleports it all in from a cubic mile of earth and if any obstacle to that can be fixed, seeing if there's ways to anchor spells with stuff other than spellsilver but it requires much more precise engineering or something like that, rebroadcasting the spell from a central anchor over an area. Yada yada too many ideas and he doesn't know which ones are at all possible or something that the locals wouldn't have already tried. Might be wiser to stick with the innovations that he knows will work, if physics is at all locally similar on the chemistry level, which does need to be verified beyond just snowflakes.
"Anyways, if wizardry is end of day - then probably the most thought-intensive thing I can do early is ad-libbing a lecture on basic Experimentation and Engineering for my research haaaargroup. My research group. Just to check my understanding, I'm assuming I'll get more experienced domain-specific engineers later, but the research group I was already assigned is full of young minds who are supposed to pick up my general methods and apply those?"
