Master Ritualist
A Master Ritualist can make use of and sometimes modify existing Rituals with great insight. With the right knowledge (Ritual Phenomenology and others), some existing Formulae can be made more potent. Their experience corresponds to Obscure/Rare Knowledge – in most settings it must be sought out with great risk and developed at great expense. The more powerful rituals often require Anima Reservoirs. By default, the following Paths of Experience gain Master Ritualist capability:
SIGNIFICANT EXPERIENCE: Reference works and basic exposure alone may only provide the foundation for gaining a [mechanics based] advantage. To reflect the practice and experience to gain that benefit consistently, typically requires a cost in Character Points.
Common Requirements: Must be an Expert Ritualist before attaining this level of competency.
i20™ Ritualist Details
You can cast any class spell you know of that class as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and that spell is either known in a recorded volume OR it is prepared in the appropriate Mystic Reservoir; The tag indicates it be cast following the normal rules for spellcasting, or the spell can be cast as a ritual. The ritual version of a spell takes 10 minutes longer to cast than normal. It also doesn’t expend a spell slot (from the Mystic Reservoir), which means the ritual version of a spell can’t be cast at a higher level.
