(This about the Queen of Cheliax: she is more Intelligent than Merrin and far more Splendid, but less Wise.  Abrogail started life with 11 of that, and is now up to 18.  What Wisdom she has, she uses less well, for like everyone else in Golarion she has received far less training than Merrin in using reflection and perception.  Abrogail's path through life is the path of brilliant improvisation, and when she stumbles, why, she improvises past that.

This, about her, explains why Abrogail has now cleverly deduced that the Otolmens-protective antimagic shell around Merrin is no doubt solid and impermeable, saving perhaps for the Divinations required for Otolmens or other gods to go on seeing Merrin.  From which it follows that Merrin will not be able to learn wizard spells, making that a safe way to burn off whatever of Merrin's energy and thinking-time is not spent empowering Cheliax.

Rather than, say, considering that one possibility while also considering and planning for others.

Aspexia would think differently about it.  But, direct prayer to Asmodeus having failed her as it almost always does, the Most High is busy talking to Hell about this probable Otolmens event.)
