Character Shenanigans!
Sometimes things happen that may have consequences further down the line. Sometimes characters decide to do things that might have immidiate reprecussion. As mods we want to have our fingers on the pulse of the game as it were, but we are also aware that we won't be able to read every single thing!
So that's where this post comes in. If your character has done something 'noticable' that you think we might need to know about, throw us a link here. Some might require a response, some will just be noted.
Example: "Over *here* my character is trying to smash the windows of the engine!"
Sometimes you might have an idea in mind that you believe will have consequences and be in the midst of writing the thread, however you want to know what those consequences will be for threads going forward. Or you might still be in the planning stages and would like to know how things might pan out. That's also what this post is for!
Example: "At the end of this event my character is planning to not rejoin the train and instead ride off into the sunset! What happens?"
Ask away!

Thread for Elidibus Creation Magic Mod Approval Stuff!
[The above box is for me to have a nice format for the requests. I hope this helps!]
The first thing up for the docket!
Requester: Kiyoiri
Request: Magic bullets (status ailment type) for the matchlock rifle retrieved from Ayumi.
Material: Some type of casing/cartridge material which can hold a spell. There are materials native to Elidibus's world that can hold a charge of aether (and likely a 'spell') or basically anything that would be able to hold a magic 'charge'. The spell itself would be supplied by the enchanter.
Efforts:
1. Elidibus would aim for a cartridge style that can be replenished with the appropriate spell by someone with casting knowledge. Would the result be a one-use (resulting in more overall ammo in the alloted time and a need to get more materials when they run out) or can a rechargeable cartridge be created (less cartridges, but recharged by spellcasters)?
2. While the request is slated for status ailments, Elidibus would probably try to make them versatile enough to hold any 'basic' spell (Effective spells but nothing monstrous; they wouldn't be able to contain 'high powered' spells and would break if someone tried.) There will be 'status spell' cartridges, 'defense' cartridges or 'offense' cartridges if he succeeds. He would focus on the requested type first. What would be the result?
3. Length of time to develop and create the ammo in question (see notes below)?
4. How much was created?
Notes: There should be no problem with the theory. FFXIV's canon is very well established in having guns and ammunition; both gunpowder based and cartridges that hold aether charges. There is even in-game lore supporting someone else charging cartridges with aether for someone who can't do it for themselves. (Spoilers, can elaborate if needed.). Ammo with a specific spell effects has never been shown but it should be easy for a sorcerer of Elidibus's caliber to build on the existing knowledge and create a solution. As he has had a recent rapport with Kiyoiri, saw her distress and sees this as a way to improve the child's strength, he would put a priority on developing this ammo. This would be a minimum of two weeks however, plus whatever time you might see fit to tack on.
I also had the thought that if this ammo ends up being a rechargeable cartridge, the person placing a spell on the cartridge must have the prerequisite knowledge of enchanting, imbuing or infusing an object with a spell. It won't be just a matter of casting a spell at it.

I would say 3IC weeks (since its almost 2 to the next platform when materials would come and a week from then if he has been working on the theory/figuring out in those two weeks). Does that sound fair?
With a bit more experimenting he could make them to hold offensive or defensive spells but nothing too high powered.
no subject
Just to clarify 3 weeks for both status and offense/defense or 3 weeks for status and say... another week for offense/defense?

He will be using some of this to make a supply of colored pencils (probably about twelve packets, based off the ones he got from the coloring book he got so.... probably about 8 per packet) to go with a post I'm planning on posting soon as I get an okay here.
He'll try to reclaim what remains unused for material fodder for something else but you know how colored pencils are. XD Some will get used to the nubs, others just forgotten to be returned, lost behind seats, etc, etc.
Would this be okay with modtypes?
The post will be a network post, asking people to post network responses about what they colored and why, etc. If anyone responds he will reward them with a small 'free creation' favor with the materials needed purchased at his expense. (like making some clothes or a favorite fruit that isn't on the train or something minor) Though this won't be ICly mentioned.
