The Closest I Got To That

Flunky:"Sythyry! Your head is glowing!"

Me:"Yes. It is."

Flunky:"Why is that?"

Me:"I hate my job."

Flunky:"Your job?...oh. Well, you'd better get rid of it soon."

Me:"How? Also, why?"

Flunky:"You're the Zi Ri, you should know how. And because the Duke has requested your presence at the opening of the Legeriat tomorrow morning. It Would Not Do to have such a thing on your head, especially if the Duke doesn't."

Oh, dearie. The Duke usually is accompanied by a few persons worthy of mention at the start of each Legeriat season.

Me:"Tomorrow morning."

Flunky:"Yes; two hours after dawn."

Me:"That is not a convenient time for an enchantment student." Because, of course, enchantment work has to be done at dawn, and takes as long as it takes -- usually more than two hours.

Flunky:"The Duke does not arrange his schedule for the convenience of enchantment students."

Me:"It's not as if I set it up that way. The gods did."

Flunky:"The Duke does not arrange his schedule for the convenience of the gods."

Me:"... right ... "

Flunky:"And be sure to get that damned light off your head before then!"

I recommend neither of these two options.
instead, wear the glowing head to the meeting in front of the duke, to show him what a dangerous job being the diplomat to the nendrai is, and it should pay more.

Right. He'd probably only have you executed once for that, and maybe dying would make the spell expire.
