Consequences

Everyone present was shocked to find that a spy had been in their midst. In addition to interrogating the one they had captured, the council had also decided that it would be wise to conduct a full sweep of the forces before making any moves. It would do no good if their plans were leaked due to another imposter in their midst.

A brief inspection of the artifact the spy had used revealed that it worked much like glamour. Only, whereas glamour was mainly used for clothing, the artifact changed the physical appearance of the person wearing it.

Glamour businesses had strict regulations they had to follow, and the creation of such artifacts was naturally forbidden. The country's policies regarding how it allowed its citizens to conduct research would most likely need to be reevaluated, but such matters were best left for another time.
