Since we are resuming after a long pause, can somebody remind me:
- where do we put thumb up/down ? In the title or in the Form/level part ?
- where do we put comments ? In the title or in the text ?
Thumb up/do in the Form/level
Comments in the Title
Some of the older stuff doesn't match that but those are from before we settled on that standard.
EDIT: Don't worry about stuff in the "Review Later" section, that is for after we have finished everything else and can spend the required energy to work them out. What burned everyone out last time was trying to fix everything. So any spell that requires a lot of work is ether sent to the "Review Later" section or down voted to delete. Otherwise we will never finish.

Is it possible to submit spells to the Grimoire? I ask because I've been looking at the magical foci suggested for the School of Sebastian and realise they could do with some example spells.

As we're closing in on the end of Corpus, @Red-Shadow-Claws , you're going to open a totally new document for Herbam so we don't have to deal with the lag from collected comments, right?
I don't see a problem submitting more stuff. Maybe a small pain with anything Animal - Corpus, as we're about done with those. But we could probably stick anything in the Animal - Corpus Forms into "Review Later" so we can just remember to circle back around to them. But @Red-Shadow-Claws should give final approval on that.
Yes, Schools of Sebastian is one of the reasons I really hate sticking to canonically existing spells for new characters. My typical example is the fire Flambeau v. the lava Flambeau. The lava Flambeau can't have any attack spells, while the fire Flambeau has so many options. Examples for other Schools of Sebastian could be cool.

@Red-Shadow-Claws Did you move or delete 'Blind the Ogling Fool' ? That was the one that had the info on how we were going to handle the whole chain of spells. We need to know what Base was settled on because that is the one we have to use for all of the spells. If it was deleted, then all of them need to go.
The list of them is on his website.
@InfinityzeN
Sorry for the delay, the base was changed to 5.
The Herbam section is open
@darkwing
If you, or anyone else, wants to submit spells, be sure to send me a private message with the spells, and I'll work them in.
Just be aware that as part of the process, not all spells make it through, but every spell is looked at and discussed.

Base 4 or Base 5? You say one in the doc and a different one here.
If I remember why Base 5 was discussed, it was "Invoke a major symptom of a disease (Blindness)".
Not sure of the exact reason we were considering Base 4, other than Base 2 to get a short term PeCo Base 20 seemed overly cheap.
EDIT:
For those worried about losing the link in the emails or having to link each document, just set a link or pin to "Google Docs". It will show a list of all the docs you have accessed ever, with the default order by the last time you opened it. Mine still shows stuff I accessed over a decade ago.

Sorry, my post in the doc was incorrect, it's base 5, just checked again
Thank you. I will go through and edit all the spells, with that change they should all be ready for voting.
I made a pretty massive amount of comments, changes, tweaks, and votes on the Corpus document. There are several that now have 3 upvotes. Going to wait a day or two before making any more additions so others have a chance to add their own input.
So if people would kindly scan through the document and add their vote, Itzhak can begin moving any that reach the thresh hold to the finished document.
Thanks!
I have moved 3-4 spells earlier that already had enough up votes, and deleted two that had 4 down votes, but we still have a lot of Corpus spells that haven't been hashed out, or voted on.
Thanks for the separate Herbam doc!
Let's finish up the Corpus stuff except for a possible few to save for later before getting into Herbam.

Was that directed at me? 
I feel it was directed at me. 
Ignore the open Herbam document. 
Callen knows me and spell documents well. I will stop and wait until we finish up Corpus. Which btw I think is taking longer because we stopped for so long.
Nah, I think he directed it at me giving access already...
'Form of the Barbed Dragon' has 4 down votes. Mostly because no one wants to build a dragon stat block. So you can delete it.

This will be one of those few cases where I will use my position to move to it to the Review Later pile, and will try to find the time to make the stats for this cute and cuddly dragon...

'Dressed by the Storm' also has 4 down votes, but that is because it is a lightning spell with duration which is not valid.
We had a lightning spell with duration. We ruled Muto requisite was needed for that. And I'll have to check the final file, but maybe some Unnatural levels.
They included the +4 Unnatural needed to create lightning at surface level. It is also a Ritual so really expensive for what you get, compared to the published non ritual single round change to lightning spell.
