working on new katas
I'm working on some new katas for my kata compendium. Wings of inspiration Preparation time : 20 minutes. Duration : 60 minutes. Rank : any artisan school rank 2 Cost : 6 Effect : choose two performances or artisan skills. The first skill choosen earn a free raise for the duration of the kata if you suceed an awareness / second skill roll TN equal to your rank in the first skill X 5. Channeling the void Preparation time : 60 minutes Duration : 60 minutes. Rank : any bushi school with iaijutsu as school starting skill rank 1 or any school rank 3 Cost : 6 Effect : during the duration of this kata, outside of a duel, all raises (free or not) on a iaijutsu roll increase the TN by + 1. During a duel, you can reduce your number of maximum focus by 1 to have a + 3 on 1 and only 1 iaijutsu roll. You can’t use more than one focus in this manner per roll.

They both look decent, although you might want to modify the first so that it isn't bushi only.

I written "artisan school." I don't know how to makes a list of all the available artisan schools.

It's a drawback. It increase the TN, not change the cost of the raise. If you take a paid raise and one free, your TN is increased by 7.
