''Ok, this is a first draft. I am sure it can be improved a lot so feel free to edit it.''
The chapter presents a good balance between new rules and background
information on House Bonisagus, providing flavour for characters and
rules to enhance the game. Overall the chapter left a positive
impression. Most of the rules fit the flavour of the house with the
exception of folios. Some points could be improved, most of them are
related to the treatment of the Trianoma lineage.
The chapter focuses mostly on the Bonisagus lineage of the house.
Most of the history section concerns Bonisagus while the information
about Trianoma is comparatively limited. We especially missed more
information on her magic tradition. Song magic is mentioned once but
there is no further information how it works or how it was
integrated into magic theory. Some of the paragraphs dedicated to
Trianoma discuss the Seekers, a group only very loosely associated
with the house. Although the Seekers are interesting and are well
suited to provide interesting stories we think the space could be
used better for more details on the Trianoma linage itself.
The rules for original research are a great addition for Bonisagus
characters and potentially useful for magi from other houses as
well. When starting original research it was unclear in some cases
what suitable projects would be. The different examples for original
research take up a large amount of space without adding much to the
game. The Arma Magica example would work just as well or even better
with fewer folds.
''These are the notes I put up earlier for reference.''

*Good balance between new rules and background for house Bonisagus.
*New rules presented in the chapter generally fit the flavour of the house.
*The given background information focuses mostly on Bonisagus.
*Not much information on Trianoma and her tradition.
*Folios don't feel right.
*Seekers maybe better somewhere else. ''Although this really only takes up half a page or so''
*Original research examples take up too much space.
*Things that I forgot.
