I'm going to just be honest and say the way Mythicals being handled in this would be a nightmare.
1. Making Mystics something that can be granted through going to certain things or people makes it more restrictive and/or chaotic, as we have: Very few lorekeepers around to help hand such out (Talguth, Hemera Valmonte, and Acantho being the only alive/active currently), Not many world-events happen and even then most are hosted by admins! That puts more pressure on them to try and come up with more so people can get that if it's a requirement, and headmin blessing you know people are gonna scream favoritism most likely and that's a mess in and of itself.
2. Some people aren't good at taking the lead on somethings. Whether that be plots, being an actual leader or leader-like figure, or the of cases hosting events. This also makes it harder for people who are factionless/independent as it means there gonna have to work more then someone in a faction in getting stuff like this set up or break their independence to have an equal footing.
3. Don't make someone's dev just vanish, I get Mythical sigs are suppose to be something you gotta put a good chunk of work for but some magic trees to my knowledge are CRAMMED with majority Mythical sigs and not alot of lower tier sigs, Ether and it's sub trees Holy and Occult are one example I can personally name and even outside that? It puts alot of pressure on those people to try and stay active, even during times where things like irl are making it more difficult to be active depending on one's situation.
4. (This one is just more a personal preference) I like doing the dev scenes, even if my dev notes are probably a nightmare to go through which I apologies to the admin team for it helps me feel like I'm making some sorta in-character progress and allows me to show my work, and the creativity I put behind it. A checklist just kinda takes the journey out. However I will say perhaps meeting certain OOC requirements could help get them approved, like the Level and Danger requirements (though I'd say perhaps 215 for Master and then 220 for Exalted), the commendations or merit points. The Faction Ranks could also help proper up but shouldn't be a requirement for already mentioned reasons in this thread and even the influence/resource stuff could help give alittle boost.
Also on the side this puts something like Aether in a weird spot as, it's kind of an odd pesudo-sig sooo.... But ultimately these are just my personal thoughts and feelings.
