'Mother Raqiyah told me she saw the face of the vampire in a vision and suggested that either he is no longer bothering to hide from us or, as I prefer to think, some concealing magic was destroyed by the blaze. Investigating the house is probably a good idea.'
"It is possible there was an enchantment there," said Elsa. She liked that idea. It meant her disastrous fire had at least accomplished something useful. "The dark magic was extremely strong inside the house, but I still couldn't locate the exact house from the outside. There had to be something other than walls keeping most of the dark magic inside."
Most, but not all. The magic had still bled into an entire neighborhood, which suggested the being had an impressive Aethyric "weight" even while passive. Even the most powerful wizard Elsa had ever met, Thyrus Gormann, did not bend the fabric of magic around him in such a way.

If that last part is incorrect, LCP, feel free to say so and I'll edit my post. I've actually no idea what being in Thyrus Gormann's presence feels like to another fire wizard.
She found it strange that Sieghard would skirt around the topic of the spear in Urgrim's presence. Then again, perhaps it was wise for now. Dwarfs were attached to their past and may very well seek to retrieve any artifacts their ancestors had forged, no matter how much the puny umgi might need them.
