Careful with mentions of the Singularity having Summoned go missing. That isn't public knowledge.
There is very little most people know about the Summoned and while no natives can go near the Singularity so it's not like they can take advantage, he's not sure it's wise to give more information than necessary. For people who believe in the power of the Singularity, it sending Summoned back could indicate it doesn't want there. He's paranoid. They both know that.
Istredd creates another illusion around them but this one is subtle, it wouldn't be picked up easily by anyone walking by or even the woman herself. Anything being handed over wouldn't be obvious to a passerby, that's the best he can do to protect her interests. But he doesn't want to scare her by making it obvious.
He pulls out the log first and offers it to her. For now it isn't working, so as not to startle. "With an incantation I wrote down with it, the log will be set on fire but not burn anything that it's on top of or around it. I amplified a heating spell on top of it so it will be able to heat your home in any hard winters coming ahead. You turn it off with the reverse incantation, which I also wrote down." It's not as if everyone knows his level of magic but it shouldn't be that hard to follow.
The fact he isn't suspiciously looking around them should be a clue to Lucifer what he did with the illusion, although he can probably sense it too. Istredd then pulls out the pouch they gathered of funds and gives it to Lucifer to give to her. It is his compensation after all.
