"We know almost nothing specifically.  As a matter of general theology, Abadar probably approves of the project even more than Asmodeus does, wants Keltham's knowledge to spread beyond Cheliax eventually but doesn't feel strongly about whether Cheliax pulls ahead of Osirion for a while.  His not giving Keltham any particular visions seems suggestive of a bargain with our Lord, possibly, and if so Abadar won't try to wriggle around inside whatever bargain He's struck with Asmodeus until Asmodeus wriggles first, which our own Lord will probably do eventually.  Some of the spells we already know Keltham got from his open prayer are suggestive of Abadar not approving of the deception we're running on him, which is also theologically to be expected."

"A fact you may not already be acquainted with, Sevar - earlier thought-reading on Keltham showed him to be suspicious of externally supplied mind-affecting spells.  It will be in your transcripts.  Maybe we can play to that, find Keltham a book on the subject which mentions cursed forms of the item, or which claims that there's a higher-tier version of Fox's Cunning that you can use to make the recipient think they're smarter about particular subjects while actually not doing that.  We've got a Wondrous Items enchanter working on a rush project to create tools so we can do edits to books more easily, and meanwhile we can get a forger-printer to stamp out individual alternate pages to splice in.  Our wonderful new pet Nethys worshipper does give us a way to send Keltham exactly the books we want him to have, and it explains why we're not just shipping him a dozen different ones."

"If that ploy fails, or if you veto it, and Keltham does start wanting to wear his own headband - getting you a higher-tier intelligence headband is not something I can do in a day, Sevar.  But your request and the reason for it has been noted."

"By tomorrow you'll also need to devise an explanation to Keltham for why you got your own private headband weeks ahead of the other women, if you want to wear it around him.  If it's not a good enough explanation, you'll need to take it off for him.  Do not give me any wizard shit about that."  Maillol has very little sympathy or interest for why wizards are under the impression that matters of intelligence headbands are an exception to the usual rules about shutting up and obeying orders, and Sevar's is not high-circle enough for him to put up with it from her.
