As I feel it might become relevant in the endgame, when trying to switch permissions while very tired and things getting weird:

The (empty) Q&A forum seems to be misconfigured, as it shows up when not logged in.
Ah, thanks for the heads up. I'll take care of that.

In regards to making the scrolls.

The example given in the description of the Transmute spell is a wooden desk being turned into fire. The limit given is that complex items with multiple parts can't be transmuted, though individual parts (such as a wagon axel) can. Is that true in reverse? Can I take fire and make ink, for instance? Would this allow us to literally write each scroll with an aspect of a specific element?

What kind of social stigma is there against people who have Taint in this time period? (I am guessing it may be different than canon L5R where we battled the Shadowlands for 1000+ years.)

That is a really cool idea and I'm going to say yes in this specific case just because I like it. Please do not assume it will work this way in the future.

That has not been established yet. Currently people are super nervous about anyone showing signs, but it might ease back.

!!THIS IS A COMBAT EVENT. CHARACTER DEATH AND OTHER UNSAVORY OUTCOMES ARE POSSIBLE!!


Participation: Four Characters

A disturbance among the village homes has stirred some alarm among those around, you are the first on the scene other than a few hapless guards who seem too afraid to enter. The home of Aoyama has become....strange. It appears insubstantial, hazy, wavy almost like a mirage. No one around seems to understand what is going on, do you? People around say that the family is still inside, will the brave samurai save them?

--------------------------------

Rules:
Combat thread please post all relevant combat stats as well as an initiative roll. In addition each character should make a Lore: Yume-do/int TN 20, Lore: Spirit realms/int TN 25, or Investigation/per TN 30.

Rewards: All characters gain .5 glory and gain a rank of Lore: Spirit Realms if they do not already have one.
For the Investigation roll, is it against spotting an ambush?

Even if I'm not in the event, others might benefit from knowing that.

Nope it's a non Lore way to kind of figure out what's happening here.
