Does Toku Rank 1 trigger only on a base TN 25 or can Raising the TN also trigger it?
Meaningful raises, not for flavor, mechanical.

Because it's a martial "display" in the dinner event, I would assume school techs that give a benefit in attack rolls do NOT apply, but I wanted to check that assumption before rolling.

Yoritomo Shugenja Technique
Child of the Seas: You may expend one spell slot to alter the wind conditions in your current location by one degree. If you also spend a Void Point, you may instead shift the entire weather status one degree. You may expend a maximum combined total of spell slots and/or Void Points equal to your School Rank each Round to enact these shifts. These shifts affect an area a number of miles equal to your School Rank in all directions from your current location.
How many Void and/or Spell slots would it cost me to reduce the negative effects of the weather (that increases TNs by 5)?

A player can participate up to three times, each time the TN increases by 5 for each subsequent attempt. They can repeat any choice only once.
"Repeat a choice once."

So you can do one choice two times (once, and repeat it once), then you have to do something else? Or is "repeat any choice only once" meaning you can only do each choice only once?

You can do any one thing twice and then do something else besides Magic which is once.

From day 3's event.
A player can participate up to three times, each time the TN increases by 5 for each subsequent attempt. They can repeat any choice only once.
I take it that the difficulties are basically +0/+5/+10, then? Is this for repeating the same option or any of the options count as the same option?

Edit comment: Hm, might have been answered in the above but I'm still not fully sure.

More shenanigans
Walking Upon The Waves
Ring/Mastery: Water 3 (Travel)
Range: Touch
Area of effect: One target individual (may be the caster)
Duration: 10 minutes
Raises: Duration (+1 minute), Targets (+1 individual per Raise)

The Water kami buoy those who carry their favor and grant them passage. The target of this spell may move across the surface of water as if it were solid ground (Basic Terrain). If the surface of the water is disturbed, as by a storm, rolling waves, or any other similar event, it counts as Difficult Terrain.
Would this spell help save people in the Curse Manifest-event's Magic option? (since they can't drown themselves if they walk *on* water :lol: )
