Midseason Upgrade

Hey everybody! We have a quick one today.

As we've mentioned before, the game is expected to have three phases/seasons/whatever you want to call them. They will roughly match the fall, spring, and summer semesters with wiggle room to match the demands of plot. We're still in Phase 1, at present, of course, but there's one thing that we want to tell y'all about so you can plan. This is strictly optional.

Shortly around or after the time Phase 2 rolls around, we will open up a fourth skill slot -- so either another major, career-level skill or a magical School -- for characters who've been in the game and active during Phase 1 (which we will define roughly for inclusiveness/not screwing over new characters). Why are we telling you now? So you can start having characters learn about it and work it into your RP if you like. We won't have restrictions based on age/time in school; this may not be strictly realistic, but we're aiming for fun and more toys for people.

If you'd prefer your character not pick a new skill up, that is also okay! No decisions need to be made at present, and Phase 2 is not expected to roll around for three to four months, possibly longer.

EDITED TO ADD: Also, if you want to raincheck getting a third school for your character for later on for any reason, that's also fine!
