To what extent, with the current rules, can players teach and share spells?

XP spend of some sort, rank up only, something else?

Rank up only at the moment. We'll see if an XP spend option is viable at game end.

Is this something that becomes known to the expedition?

Saruko have some personal rations she packed that she'll happily donate (9 days worth for 1 person).

EDIT: Would also choosing to fast (by also using the Fasting function for Meditation, by rolling Meditation/Stamina vs TN 15+5 per day of fasting) also help the food stocks? :) As Saruko isn't a warrior, she'd want to prioritize the warriors and shugenja to get their fill.

Yes. There's going to be general information distributed to the expedition shortly.

And yes, that would help.

I realize it's late in the day, but would an OOC post collecting hunting/fishing/foraging efforts help replenish supplies?

Sure. Successful rolls will just replace the missing supplies, I won't dig into the specifics.

For multitarget damaging spells do you prefer one roll of damage applied equally to each target or individual rolls for each target?

Does the Balance Advantage work against Fear?

Are techniques which would add Honor to a roll cumulative with the normal Honor addition of rolls against Fear?

When they're required, you'll know.

One roll applied equally for ease of bookkeeping.

Ah, what happens if one of us was to, say, summon Fire in the web area before the event were to open? Webs are particularly flammable, after all.

Asking for a... neighbor with arachnaphobia. Yeah, that's why...

Do we count as "in the Shadowlands" for purposes of spells, like Inari's Blessing?

"This spell generates enough food and drink to sustain a number of individuals equal to your School Rank +1 for one day. Without Raises, this food is bland but sustaining. such as unflavored rice and water, but with Raises, you can increase the quality of the food to seafood or tea at the GMs discretion. The TN to cast this spell is doubled when in the Shadowlands."
