The Great Mod Shuffle



Departures

As many of you are aware, Kira has been helping us transition all of her modwork in order to step down entirely. Well, that sad time has come, and Kira has officially stepped down.

In the course of these conversations, Kohaku has elected to step down as well for similar reasons, but will be available to the Mods for her own transition period as well. Please wish both of them the best and thank them for their contributions to the game!

We have updated the Mod Contact page appropriately. Please also remember that we will collectively remain available via the mod email, mod account Dreamwidth inbox, or mod plurk account.

Additions and Needs
NPC Players
A bulk of what Kira has contributed to the game that has been picked up by others already was the duty for playing new NPCs introduced to the game. We have updated the NPC Info tab of the Prayers page. To reiterate, though:

• Votelli is now being played by Mchan
  
• Sotero is now being played by Lin
  
• Sabimei is now being played by Revise

What tasks remain?
While the remaining mods have tried to take on additional duties, per the Mod Contact page, we too only have so much bandwidth. We're primarily looking to fill the following tasks, which do not have to be 4 different people:

• NPC Player for Suijin
  
• "World Mod", meaning questions about Canon Compliance (FAQ Answers and Apps) as well as TDM Prompt Inspiration
  
• Lists: Deaths, Spells, and Splitting duties / Backup for Rynn's current List Mod duties
  
• Enable Me Meme posts

And now for something completely different... a new Regain!

The mods were asked recently about healing spells for Shinki. After discussions, we decided to allow something a little broader - new Custom Spells! Mods still have to approve them as with all Regains, but we decided to let a single character develop a new spell with a Regain.

In the case of the request, it was a healing spell, which is not available in canon at all. Other kinds of custom spells can be requested as well - use your imagination!

Then, after the Custom Spell is approved, it can be taught to other characters like all other spells using the rules detailed on the Shinki Spells and Songs page.



We appreciate everyone's understanding as we undertake these mod task changes,
- The Far Shore Mods

Thank you for all your hard work, Kira and Kohaku! Thank you to everyone stepping in too!

I have a question about that tier a spell would fall under. From the suggestion I sent, I'd like to create a healing spell, ideally a tier one spell so it's accessible to everyone. I'm picturing the spell as one that can handle minor injuries (shallow cuts, bruises, ease a sprain) pretty easily. Anything more like a bone break or deep cut wouldn't get healed, but you could ease some pain/maybe stop bleeding enough for bandaging. Doesn't treat illnesses or blight.

Basically something that the injury prone can use to handle minor injuries picked up in training, and keep themselves together enough to get to a proper healer in a major incident. Does this seem reasonable for tier one?
