Those experiments did not all go as Keltham expected.  But he has at least established that (1) anybody can prestidigitate acids more acidic if they know what lemon juice or vinegar taste like, and this works as an actual acid for purposes of eg neutralizing the lye in wood ash, and (2), Keltham is able to do some useless-seeming tricks with ordinary table salt that the others cannot do, even after he tried explaining the chemistry of salt qualitatively in some detail.  Down to the point of talking about electrons, charges, orbitals, fields, albeit with words and not numbers.

Using Communal Share Language (Baseline) and trying to re-explain in Baseline didn't particularly work either.

...well, at least they now have a clearly defined target for further research into How Much You Need To Know Before You Can Use Prestidigitation To Control Chemistry.

Keltham is actually too tired to screw anyone tonight.  He forgot all about scheduled rest hours again, actually, now that he thinks about it.  Possibly for the last several days?  He's not sure.  Things are sort of a blur right now.  Good night everyone!
