It has come to my attention that the Magic Approval process hinges on two primary things. These things are the approval of your concept (what is your magic and what is it capable of) and the approval of spells (up to 4 D rank spells that accompany your magic, I assume for the general purpose of ensuring that the spells also fit into regulation.)
However, this seems both tedious and ineffective for a variety of reasons. While the most obvious and blatant one is the current (and potential future) lack of Magic Rules, it seems to me like the other long-term effects would be better argument.
As it is now, with people required to make both Magic and Spells in order to get approved, that will involve someone coming up with a concept, and making 1-4 spells to accompany this concept for approval. If they are declined, they must go back and fine-tune one of the two. If they must fine-tune their spells, there is the potential for them needing to edit their concept. If they must fine-tune their concept, they most certainly will have to edit their spells. It seems much more efficient to me (for a plethora of reasons) to have magic registration focus purely on the concept of the magic (does this magic, with its description/strength/weaknesses seem fair?), and then focus on the spells in their own time (are these spells fitting the regulations and standards of the site, while still adhering to the concept of magic?)
Just a suggestion, but one I thought was prominent enough to be referenced.
