A Vis Income from House Mercere is not going to happen, barring Mons Mercurius becoming a Mercer House as some of you would want.
Vis Loans as opposed to Book Trading is certainly a possibility, if it is something Celo might be interested in.
IC: "I certainly see your point, sodales Thanos. The copying of Hermetic Books has never been a major concern for our covenant, you are correct, but we have now two promising young authors contributing their tomes to our library, and as such, it becomes a much more desiring endeavour. Perhaps some of your contacts at the University might be potential candidates for the recently denominated rank of Larta Mage? One or two such members might enrich our covenant greatly with the copies they may produce. In the meantime, however, something must be done with regards to our companion Afonso. Your proposal of trading Vis might be an interesting solution. What say you all?"

I am not saying that the vis income comes from House Mercere, I'm saying that the vis income would be due to Afonso trading our vis stores with other covenants. I'm even find with hand waving being done a bit on this exercise. Afonso's covenant service is trading vis. He gets paid 5 pawns every 6 seasons for the service. We don't have any net gain in vis, but we can easily make problems like our lack of Corpus when Benoit sucks it all down for his longevity ritual.
Finally, if the problem is for Afonso a way to earn vis and do covenant service it should not be a problem for the magi to solve on his behalf. Afonso should learn Magic Theory to 2, and then teach some scribes Magic Theory, so that they can make books. For what it's worth, I think all of the skilled professionals have to have Magic Theory, so that they understand the mystical significance of what they do.
IC;"It will probably be some time before I have the time to write another book, my schedule is a bit full with Helena. I might find time to write a book or two over the course of her apprenticeship, but I wouldn't hold myself to that commitment, so I won't make it to the covenant."

Could anyone post here the final decision we made? I recall it was based on reputations...
