Board Thread:News and Announcements/@comment-6192846-20150104164225

It's been a busy holiday season for Evillious fans. New stuff's been announced, old stuff's ending, tons of new information has been released for discussion. Tons of material to digest. Because of all this, our six month report was delayed until the end of January so we can focus on getting these loads of information processed over the next few weeks!

While the discussion is ongoing, we'll be moving forward with the Magic Tools expansion under the assumption the status quo won't change in regards to vessel of sin-related articles. Therefore, Magic Tools will be handled with a similar format to Magic, containing a History, Mechanics, and Tools and Devices section.

History and Mechanics will be for magic tools in general, like with Magic. Tools and Devices (like Magic's Spells and Powers) will list individual articles for the following magic tools:


 * Sin


 * Vessels of Sin


 * Very Amazing Green Onion


 * Black Box (Sickle's)

The "Very Amazing Octopus" will also be listed, but link to the Ziz Tiama section of Bolganio Wildlife for the time being. If there are other tools or devices that you believe should be listed as magic tools, bring them up here.

Vessels of Sin will be handled in the same format as Magic Tools, though keeping to general vessel of sin info; information regarding the relationship between the Demons of Sin and the vessels they inhabit will also be included there for now.

A section for "Vessels" will be used insead of "Tools and Devices" for this page. It will link to the individual "Sin of _____" articles, creating a natural flow of information from general to specific in these new articles.

All Magic Tool pages (besides Magic Tools itself, of course) will have a section for "Users" like we did with expanding the different spells/powers into articles. This means anyone who used a magic tool/device in any magical capacity (including non-possessed vessel owners) will be listed.

Categorization will be affected by this immediately. The following categories will be sub-sections in this order:

Magic > Magic Tools > Vessels of Sin

The Magic page will have the same list as the Magic Tools page for "Tools and Devices".

This is a smaller expansion than what we did with Magic and so should hopefully be done in a shorter time. This should help readers with identifying and understanding these individual tools and devices where it previously lacked and be a good place to define specific tools with a different or ambiguous connection from similarly named objects (Black Box and Sin in particular).

I hope everyone had is having a happy holiday season. Let's get excited for this brand new year filled with new releases!
