State of the Game

                    State of the Game
                
✨ THE START OF A MAGICAL NEW YEAR!

✨ Current Character Count: 35

✨ Applications for December: 7

✨ Drops for December: 1

✨ A minimum word count of 500 words has been added to the personality section of the application.

✨ Quests are now being rolled into TDM and Events rather than being a separate entity.

✨ The FAQ has been updated and now includes sections about Media Guidelines, Crime & Punishment, as well as what happens with character Death in Iyashikei.

✨ The Rewards page has been updated to include a new business partnership option and several other new rewards, more explained below.

✨ Magic Pathways have been added to Yadah University. See more below.

✨ There are more changes underway, but we're not quite ready to announce them just yet.

New Magic Learning System                    

✨ This is something we’ve talked about and teased a few times in the past—including in our last State of the Game—and we’re excited to finally roll it out: the new magic learning system! With this update, characters who previously had no magic and characters who already possess magical abilities will now be able to learn new forms of magic in Iyashikei. 

✨ How will learning new magic work?

A new option has been added to the Rewards list, allowing characters to enroll in one of the magical study programs at Yadah University. Characters may also choose to enroll in two programs by selecting the Arcane Synthesis Track. Upon enrollment, characters will start off as beginners and progress through their studies over time, based on a combination of in-game activity and length of participation. 

✨ What are the schools of magic?

There are currently six different schools (or pathways) of magic available to choose from: Alchemy, Conjuration, Elemental Magic, Psionic/Mental Magic, Transformation, and Transmutation. Additional schools may be introduced in the future, but these will serve as our starting foundations. 

✨ How many schools can my character enroll in?

Most characters may enroll in one pathway at a time. The exception is for those on the Arcane Synthesis Track, who may select two pathways. The first pathway must be chosen from Conjuration, Elemental Magic, or Transformation, while the second must be chosen from Alchemy, Psionic/Mental Magic, or Transmutation. 

✨ When do I choose which school they will enter?

When submitting the reward request to enroll and begin as a novice, you will be prompted to select a school of magic from the available options at that time. There will not be any additional forms to fill out or a formal record of enrollment.

✨ What about characters who have been in the game already?

For characters who have already been active in-game and may have been studying magic at Yadah University, we are allowing players to retroactively apply that time toward their character’s progression within their chosen pathway. All other advancement requirements, however, must still be fulfilled as normal.

✨ What are the advancement requirements?

These specifics to advancing can be found on the Advancement tab of the Magic School page. But it will be a combination of time in-game, proof of activity, and specific threads involving the study of the magic being learned. With the requirements becoming greater for each step up the pathway.

A Word from the Mods                    

✨ Jax:
 
Hello, everyone! 

A whole year! Can you believe it? I cannot express my genuine awe and gratitude at how this has turned out. I had a tiny, little dream about a Slice of Life game with chill vibes and a pastel, solar punk setting. A place of low stress overall, where characters could focus on aspects of found family and kindness. On my part, there have been ups and downs, mistakes made, lessons learned, and hopefully, I will continue to grow and learn so that I can be the best co-head mod for all of you. I truly want what is best for the game, and I will continue to strive to provide a fun, safe, and welcoming game for all. Everyone, both former and current players, have left their mark on Iyashikei and made it what it is today.

I want to thank each and every one of you for joining me through all of this, for all of your understanding of the mistakes I have made, your continued enthusiasm for the events I've created, or player-run events, and the ways you have helped grow and shape this game! I hope we can continue growing as a game and as a community. Iyashikei would not exist if it weren't for all of you and all of your passion you pour into this little space on Dreamwidth. I hope that going into 2026, we will see a bright future with more adventures that await our characters and the continued connection of our community as a whole. Thank you so much for your support, whether you've only been here for a few days or since the game opened. I truly am so thankful for all of you.

Love,

Jax

✨ Tilt: Hello, Iyashikei!

It’s hard to believe that a full year has passed since our very first test drive, when the council began drawing individuals from across worlds to help spread kindness and generosity in the face of darkness and horror throughout the multiverse. Back then, I was simply here with Iroh, who was trying to do what good he could. At that time, I  didn't really know where the road would lead.

Over the course of this year, Iyashikei has changed in ways I never expected. Being here, writing with all of you, and watching this space take shape has been a pleasure. I’m deeply honored to have had the chance to step up and join the mod team as co-mod alongside Jax, and I’m excited to keep supporting Iyashikei as it continues to grow and evolve in 2026.

While the journey hasn’t always been smooth, the purpose of Iyashikei has never wavered: to create a welcoming space where people can come together to rediscover a little light, warmth, and joy through roleplay. As a personal New Year’s resolution, I’m aiming not only to be more active in logs, but also to spend more time getting to know everyone here and threading with as many of you as I can.

Until the next,

Tilt

✨Meowzy: Hi everyone! First of all, I hope everyone who celebrates any kind of December holiday had a lovely time, full of warm moments and delicious food. If you didn't celebrate anything, I hope you also still had a lovely time full of warm moments and delicious food! 2026 is upon us, and I for one am determined to make it a very good year. I hope you all are too!

It took a few months of backseat app modding, but I've finally joined the game with a character of my own! Maybe another character will slip into that roster in the future, who knows? Either way, I'm excited to play in Iyashikei and get interaction going with all you lovely folks. But just like the other mods, I'll also be doing my part behind the scenes to help the game grow and evolve where needed. ... Or just give you more of the stuff that we know you all love to play around with. If you have feedback, please don't hesitate to let the team know, as player involvement and satisfaction will always be a vital component to a healthy game. And if not, hope to see you all out there for some delicious threading!
