Upon review of this request and all its components, we have determined that we cannot approve this as presented. The offering provided cannot be used for this character, for reasons we will detail below. Additionally, should a different offering be made, the unique spell requested would not be possible to grant, and would need to be exchanged for a different spell.

At present, all Time- and Time-Alteration based abilities are under the sole purview of the Fourth God himself; devotees of this god can receive a fragment of this power when they reach the Priest Tier of alignment, and no earlier. Additionally, the power described is much, much too powerful both in terms of scope of time rewound as well as in scope of areas affected to be viable in a collaborative roleplay setting.

In regards to the log supplemented as offering, we had a number of concerns. When we previously discussed a circumstance like this with you, you described a scenario where your character would end a fight in service of his god, even if he did not feel "necessarily devoted." At that time we accepted this as a possible avenue. However, in reviewing its execution, we feel that it is not quite as initially described. While your character does get into conflict with a Fog follower and kill her, in part for the threat she bears on his Fourth-aligned companion, this epiphany seems to come from nowhere. Loki declares that "she was torturing fourths," but there is nothing in the log prior to this point to bring him to this conclusion. Furthermore, the defense he provides for his companion seems based more in their mutual friendship rather than with their god alignment — it seems he would have committed this act either way. In short, his motives read more serving of his own ideals than those of his god, and the cause for his "realization" of Kurumi's actions reads tenuous at best.

While this alone raises some concerns for us, more pressing is the circumstance of this log. In it, your character is investigating a crime orchestrated by another of your characters, and he kills the person who helped your other character commit that act. With your characters playing both cause and effect to this scenario, we feel that this request takes unfair advantage of your unique standing as someone playing multiple god-aligned characters. Allowing your characters to influence the actions and opportunities of one another, in this situation, would allow for a quicker advancement within your roster than would be possible for most anyone else in-game. While we do not believe that you have set up this scenario with deliberate intent, we feel the correlation between these two offerings is much too great to fairly allow.

With these circumstances in mind, we unfortunately cannot in good conscience grant this Tier request.
