Report #1688
Skillset: Enchantment Skill: Miniatures/Shrink
 Org: Glomdoring Status: Completed Jun 2017
Furies' Decision:
We will move figurines to Enchantment.
Problem: There is a skill to shrink miniatures in Tinkering, and a skill to
enchant them in Spellcraft to allow you to use them in figurine battles. I'm
not sure what the purpose of gating these between the two sets of skills are--
these are basic functions for figurines, so should be (slightly) more available.
[A:16 R: 0] Solution #1: Allow Tinkerers to use ENCHANT FIGURINE to enchant
 figurines. Allow Spellcrafters to Shrink figurines
 (essentially: Merge these two skills).

Sure why not, I'd understand the reasoning if it was two different skillsets.
Like.. Jewellery let you chisel them down to shrink them or something silly. So
yeah, why not let both Enchantment specs do the same thing.

Yes, please. It already is a whole lot of pain trying to do the whole process,
requiring several skillsets or people. I'm thinking this is a nice QOL without
much impact of any devaluation of either enchantment spec.

I'm kind of ambivalent on this. On the one hand it'd be great to require less
tradeskills to get stuff going but on the other hand you could extend this
argument to almost anything that is split across multiple tradeskills.

Yeah, you can, Falmiis. At the same time they're both two branches of the same
base (enchanting) and there's no real reason to keep them split one way vs. the
other in my opinion. I'm not suggesting merging everything in disparate
tradeskills, but this one specifically fits in just fine in both (flavour-wise
tinkerers should be able to make a figurine move, and spellcrafters should be
able to shrink one, too).

I voted approve, though I -think- the idea was each tradeskill did something
unique with figurines. Though the other tradeskill additions are optional, with
the enchantment specs being mandatory to having them work at all, so this is
fine to me.
