    I wonder why the Lanzenave ships change colour during transfer.

    My first thought was that the black overlay is specifically made to trigger the barrier to hide the fact that the ship’s outer hull blocks magic. But then why would they not keep hiding the silver material, beneath the black layer the entire time they ankor in Ahrensbach? Does the black overlay also have some special property, that they wish to hide underneath the mana-blocking material?

    Maybe the black overlay is flammable or somehow the silver material’s mana blocking only works at full capacity when it’s the outmost layer and has reduced effects, if it’s further inside.

    Either way, from Detlinde neither knowing, nor particularly caring about the colour change, we can pretty safely conclude that she has no clue about the existence of the silver material and that like usual Georgine kept her out of the loop. Nothing unexpected in this regard.

      My thought was that the black part blocks the mana blocking somehow, since the country gates are also teleporters and IIRC mana blocking stuff can’t travel through teleporters.
