I'm in favor of this system of applications. Yet I see some issues / I'd like to add my own personal thoughts on it.
I feel like this application system should apply to MOST but not all spells. The main that this system should focus on is the:
My fire is stronger now or, I fire out water but it goes wider! Or just... "obscure" ones that can easily be explained in a very "simple", the judgment team has seen this app ten times. ( And that isn't a dig at anyone, the Judgement team as probably seen someone connect to their star 50 times, your personal story matters of course but the gist of your application is that. )
Yet that overgeneralization of hiddens does not apply to all of them, and that is what this post is about.
I mainly want to focus on the abilities that are game-changing not in the sense of it's strong but lore-wise, and here's a few to list. ( That I just thought of off the top of my head. )
- Witchcraft
- White Magic
- Death Magic
- Necromancy
- Celestial Ascension
This list of hiddens have more place in the lore and a lot more nuance. Witchcraft REQUIRES someone to sign their name in the Book of Shadows. White Magic is revival, so is Necromancy, Death Magic is super occult that goes brrrr and attacks souls, and CA is about deeply connecting with your star? I mainly have put this here because it's like the cosmic aura's you get but more "advanced". ( in my own opinion, although I'm not completely sure or I might be wrong. I've never played a cosmic character and I haven't really asked at all )
While I don't think this is a big issue, if this system is in place I feel like the players should state. "I am going for Witchcraft, here is a log of me signing the book." The admins can see this, look at the log and then grant the player the hidden ( once they pay for it with their IP ).
Along with this, I feel like this system is better in the sense of, I posted 10 logs and I got denied! Or, I posted 8 logs and I didn't even get what I wanted!
The idea of having a bio or a thread where you post all of your logs that matter, as they come out to me, is a better idea. An admin can look through those logs and make comments when they feel like, allowing you to see their advice and thoughts, and if there is an issue or anything of the sort you can deal with it immediately and continue.
Plus it's always nice to have someone giving you helpful advice and a push. I always appreciate when someone DMs me saying "Nice job! Keep it up!" or gives helpful advice on how to improve and an idea on where to go with my character.
Either way, I feel like this should be addressed, and while I'm sure the admin team would bring this up when they begin ironing out I just wanted to bring to discussion publicly to see what ideas we could come up with beforehand.
