<h2>RITUALS AS GROUP CHECKS</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
When a character attempts a Ritual, other characters can help (even if they
|
|
have no ability to perform Rituals themselves). The Magic Check will become
|
|
a Group Check (<a href="/books/core/#page-50">page 50</a>), and the
|
|
character who performs the Ritual will act as the leader.

<h2>REDUCING THE COST OF A RITUAL</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
It is easy to notice that the MP cost of Rituals can be rather high. In
|
|
order to reduce this cost, the spellcaster may provide an especially rare or
|
|
powerful ingredient; doing so will cut the MP cost in half.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
This can only be done once per Ritual, and the Game Master should
|
|
determine the nature of the ingredient — finding it should be its own
|
|
adventure.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
If there is no time to prepare and the Ritual is urgent, an item or
|
|
ingredient the GM deems suitable can be sacrificed to allow the Ritual to
|
|
take place.

<h2>SAMPLE RITUALS</h2>
|
|
<p>Use these examples as guidelines when adjudicating Rituals.</p>
|
|
<p class="example">
|
|
Summoning a great globe made of fire and using it to destroy the engine of
|
|
an airship is an Elementalism Ritual of major potency targeting a small area
|
|
(80 MP, DL 13). If this Ritual fails, you might trigger a devastating
|
|
firestorm.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="example">
|
|
Sensing whether a person is hostile is a Spiritism Ritual of minor potency
|
|
affecting an individual area (20 MP, DL 7). On a failure, you might
|
|
accidentally instill strong negative emotions inside them, with
|
|
unpredictable consequences.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="example">
|
|
Erecting a barrier of energy to shield a castle from an avalanche is a
|
|
Ritualism Ritual of extreme potency targeting a huge area (200 MP, DL 16).
|
|
If the Ritual fails, you might cause a burst of uncontrolled magical force
|
|
and trigger a supernatural cataclysm.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="example">
|
|
Altering the flow of time to briefly restore the functions of a damaged
|
|
device is an Entropism Ritual of medium potency affecting an individual area
|
|
(30 MP, DL 10). On a failure, the mechanism and some of the nearby objects
|
|
might rapidly age before your eyes and crumble to dust.
