━━━─── • ───━━━ [ ARCANE PATRONS ] Throughout the cosmos there exists a handful of entities with powers grand and small. There are some, so minor that they may never be seen by mortal eye while there are others so grand that they shape the very foundations of reality. There is but one constant...

After... quite a bit of time, we've reached a point where, while we continue work on the Grimoire Review, we can start to release information. Below I've linked the newest document, the Universal Magic Guidelines.

So what does this mean? We've been splitting our time between going over individual spells and having some very, very lengthy conversations between teams over where we'd like the strengths and powers of spells to go. But what does this mean for you all?

We'd like to announce that we are partially reopening customs. A player may submit one custom a month, regardless of how many characters they have. Please take a look at our initial guidelines before submitting, as this should hopefully make the process easier! Fair warning, these customs will be looked over according to agreed power levels between Arcane and Divine, so they may come off as 'weaker' than current spells until we can modify those as well. In the coming weeks we'll slowly be releasing more detailed descriptions for different spell types, though nothing is concrete enough to post now. Thanks, please feel free to ask questions!

Arcane Team is currently reviewing the utility and mechanics of "Sanctum Raiding"; you may have seen a mention of it in one of the recent rank-up applications, but unless you have made a ticket regarding sanctum raids prior to this message then it cannot be used for the purposes of Arcane Progression Goals. Should the mechanic return with additions applicable to your character (i.e. if you have done a raid before), please make a ticket to inform us when that occurs.
