Ritualist
General • Novice
Description
The character has learned how mystical powers can be channeled through rituals – powerful but time consuming magical practices. This knowledge may come from studying under a teacher or from self studies with a ritual codex.
The character suffers one (1) permanent Corruption from each ritual it learns, except if the ritual belongs to a mystical tradition practiced by the character (Wizardry, Theurgy or Witchcraft). In the latter case the character is spared the blight of Corruption.
When it comes to performing rituals, the character suffers 1D4 temporary Corruption if the ritual does not belong to a tradition he or she has mastered. Performing rituals covered by the character’s tradition only gives one (1) point of temporary Corruption.
The Ritualist ability makes it possible for the character to recognize what ritual has been performed by examining symbols and components remaining on the scene, and also to deduce the effects of the ritual, even if he or she has not mastered it.
