I'm a recent SAO fan and I have some interest in this RP. As a long-time ex-MMORPG player, I've also been put off by the lack of magic in SAO and its RPs so I've been looking for one based on ALFheim. But since I'm a strictly one-RP-at-a-time RPer and I'm currently interested in another RP, I have 2 quick questions for our GM so I can decide which to join:

1. Because magic spells were introduced to ALO and it's unlikely that every spell in the game was named in the anime or the light novels (and other sources), what's your stance on player spell selection: A - Strictly stick to canon spells, B - Allow player-made spells. Same question applies to non-magic skills.

2. Because it's unusual for players of different races to work together due to the race vs race PvP, what would our character's motivation to work together be? (since people are most likely going to be picking varying races for their characters). There doesn't have to be a concrete answer to this question, we could just RP it out and improvise of course.

Thank you.
