Rites

Preparing the Space

The caster must prepare an area as part of the rite, marking it with appropriate lines, patterns or symbols. This can include drawing an unbroken circle, especially when raising a ward.

Most rites included with starting skills (those not marked with an asterisk * in the Rites List) do not require material components or a referee witness. The caster must still roleplay preparing the area, but no materials are consumed. If a rite requires material components or referee presence, this will be noted in the rite description.

For researched rites (marked with *), ritual magic, invocation rites, and any new rites learned through research, material components are required as shown in the table below. These rites should begin and end in sight of a referee.
