If the invisible text was only made visible by the static charge generated by splitting the page, one wouldn't be able to discern it by shining a flashlight through the un-split pages.

Hypothetically speaking, of course...

There - that looks better.

I’m about 90% sure this is the answer

The ioun stone shapes have been evolving. I still feel like the gauntlet of bronze refers to Thanos giving props to the idea that you can have more stones into some hand slot super gauntlet of a thing

The three relics is one possibility because the stars on the QTR.

Taking it further another interesting possible is three stars referring to three stones...is the silver gold and platinum stone (coming in 2021) to create a new kind of treasure enhancer that doesn’t take away the three stones (as Jeff said) but uses them In a special slotted glove to allow for all these TEs to be put on that glove. Perhaps the transmutes glove holds the stones and in triple they give the TE and activate the glove in some way like the Kilt Dungeonsbane providing choice to the player at start.

Would you snap your finger in the epilogue room to get your treasure?

If you do, you only get half.

Or it eliminates half your party and you get their treasure.

Jeff already stated that the three ioun stones would not be used in any transmute so unfortunately this cant be the case. The next TE transmute will use the amulet of treasure finding as per Jeff’s decree.

It will also use the two TE URs printed in 2023 and 2025.

Some of us are hoping Jeff allows a token that combines the 3 TE Ioun Stones and still takes the 3 Ioun Stone slots, just to make it quicker to verify in the coaching room.

There is no more verification in the coaching room. Takes place in epilogue now. Goes quickly as you get your treasure.

Whoa, this is news to me. Is that new from Origins?

I did 7 runs at Origins and honestly most times in the coaching room the coach said they needed to verify in coaching and in epilogue. I'd say about 4 of the runs the coach said that and the other three the coach said only in epilogue. When the coach checked in the coaching room he was even looking at Medallions of Nobility, though that was inconsistent as well (with most coaches taking your word for it and the people handing out treasure in the epilogue not even caring).

That was my experience as well, I was rarely asked to see my CoA at origins, maybe 2 times in coaching and never in epilogue, but was told every time it would be checked in epilogue by the coach.
