Ritual Casting
Ritual Casting is an ability possessed by all practitioners with the Magic power source.
Practitioners may use certain skills to craft new spells based on known seeds, or to modify existing spells, in a manner similar to a Power Stunt.
Instead of spending a Hero Point, practitioners take on the following risks and costs:
- Risk of failure (due to failed skill checks), with possible consequences besides simple failure
- The use of expensive or rare materials, sometimes consumed
- Greatly lengthened casting times, taking minutes or hours instead of seconds
Not only can rituals have effects not proscribed by a practitioner's mastered powers, but they can have effects well outside the scope of normal powers at all. For example: while it would be nearly impossible to expend enough energy to expand an area effect over several miles, a ritual might allow it, given a long casting time, many components, and perhaps helpers.
