The two of them together will be able to do some very fine work.

Game Instructions: On projects where Hephaesta is an expert, she and your Visionary Student together will produce better results than either of them could alone.

Once or twice, you catch the Visionary Student looking avidly at Hephaesta herself. Never for more than a moment; never in a way that would distract from their work.

Description summary:
First paragraph varies based on Experimental Object.

Experimental Object	Description
230-260	The student and the strongwoman are very dissimilar. But Hephaesta has an encyclopaedic knowledge […] of particular locations — and your Visionary Student has a gift for assembling all these diverse elements into an intricate and meaningful whole.[…]
820	All the bones are laid out on the table. The […] Student draws conclusions about what they mean. Hephaesta helps place the findings on the map. Shaded diagrams show where the creatures with the greatest concentrations of spikes and teeth may be found.

Failure

Distractions

They work well together; very well, as a matter of fact. But occasionally the Visionary Student becomes uncharacteristically day-dream-y, and has reveries, and makes excuses for lost time.
