Mafia 87. At the Dawn of War

Finally, I got around to reading the newspaper. Here are my thoughts on what's happening:
I saw a random passerby on the street give one of the residents a suspicious boost of energy and vitality with just a glance. Clearly, magic was involved.
It's obvious that the Guardian's "Uplift" was used. His description says he is a mage of balance. +3 to the maniac's karma.
I saw a black man return from the forest and put a strangely looking mixture on the fire.
The black man is brewing a potion; now he has two.
I saw a young girl mockingly perform an invisible magical ritual on her neighbor, as a result of which he collapsed on the bed without strength and fell asleep, dreaming of nightmares.
The novice drained life force and gained the "Healing" skill.
I saw a man meditating, holding the image of one of the residents in his mind, as if looking into his soul and reading his thoughts and intentions.
The targets of Nikki are displayed for Rienna and the Seer, so it's the Guardian's doing. He also deprived someone of their voice. So, his karma is now +2.
I saw a red-haired man bump into a woman in a hood on the street. <...> The sorceress did not pursue the target and continued on her way, while the red-haired man, after waiting a little in hiding, soon went on his way as well.
The Seer uses "Assassination" on Bill, reducing his 50% defense.
Two barely noticeable spells, identical in nature, were directed at Ment and Neyra Drake. I only had time to feel that they were harmless, just a slight scan of consciousness.
Checks by the Seer and Rienna. Rienna has 8 out of 10 mana left.
And it was definitely harmless magic directed at Arandor; it was more likely to benefit him.
Healing from Elen.
In the morning, the whole tavern was buzzing with rumors that Ursula was detained by the guards at night. No one knows what exactly happened, but she was released in the morning.
Most likely, it was a block from the head of the guard, Jacob.
And the main topic of conversation was the fate of the unfortunate Plesen. They say that he was seen at night in a deplorable state, as if he had been struck by a magical discharge.
Well, I think Rienna is trying to kill someone from the Eiden family. Jacob takes the hit, losing 50% of his defense. (Rienna has 3 mana left)
It's not surprising that Plesen was eventually caught somewhere in the alleys and simply stabbed. Apparently, this is the work of bandits.
And, probably, Bill still reached his target. The remaining 25% defense did not save Jacob.

We still need to think about the clues. And for now - NNV.
