To my anonymous patron,

I've completed the experiments I proposed. Each sample radiates between 45 and 56 nanothaums; existent, but not enough for anything useful. (To compare: one drop of infused blood has more power than one of these samples.) As far as I can ascertain, the samples are not the byproduct of a bigger spell, nor are they harmful. Resonance is between the green and yellow range; I'd call it 'dark chartreuse' if I felt like being pretentious. I can't pin it down to a specific wavelength with my equipment.

Most notably, they have a very weak life force. That's not necessarily to say that they're alive; any one of my constructs has more life force than all the samples put together. Nonetheless, it's an interesting data point. Further angles of research on that are pending.
