So I've noticed that some mods have recently begun to increase the cooldowns of spells on Apps. 4 - 5 posts for a D-Rank spell in some cases. Sometimes even for simple shields or "Fireball" sort of spells. I'm asking that such harsh penalties for spells be brought to a halt. D-Rank mages only get 4 spells to begin with, and when they're forced to have a 4 post minimum for a CD, it really restricts them in what they're able to do. It doesn't make the game funner, sure it's "more of a challenge." but honestly nobody wants to have such restrictions on their magic. Ask anyone who's had their app adjusted with these cool downs. Nobody wants them.
I recall a PM being sent out by Zeno, addressing the exact same Issues that I am now. People want to have fun with their magic and actually be able to use it to be able to immerse themselves fully in the RP. If everyone has lower CDs for their spells there is no harm done to anyone because everyone reaps the benefit of it.
Here is my suggestion for standardizing CDs. The numbers can be increased in an app to compensate for lack of weaknesses as always, as well as to compensate for longer durations, but for the bare minimum of a "Fireball" or "Shield" spell, this is what I think is fair to everyone.
D-Rank spells: 1 - 2 posts.
C-Rank Spells: 2 -3 posts.
B-Rank spells: 3 - 5 posts.
A-Rank spells: 5 - 6 posts.
S-Rank spells: 6 - 8 posts.
