Ammunition Stockpile

Rank 2

Tags: Attune, Manifestation

Rank 2

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Spheres: Cryomancy, Fabrication, Verdamancy

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

You create a Large pile of either nonmagical arrows or crossbow bolts in any unoccupied location on solid ground adjacent to you. You can choose to create blunted ammunition, but you cannot create other forms of special ammunition like fire arrows or repeating bolts. Any creature may take ammunition from the pile to use.

This ritual requires one fatigue level from its participants.

Animal Messenger

Rank 2

Tags: Attune

Rank 2

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Spheres: Enchantment

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Make an attack vs. Mental against one Small or Tiny animal within Medium (60 ft.) range. You take a -10 penalty to accuracy with this attack against creatures who have made an attack or been attacked since the start of the last round.

This ritual requires one fatigue level from its participants.

Hit: The target is compelled to deliver a message for you. You can give the animal a small piece of parchment or similarly sized item containing up to 25 words. In addition, choose a destination that you can clearly visualize. You must have a general idea of the direction and distance to that location from your current location. You must also visualize what a valid recipient for the message looks like. You can leave this description vague, such as "any humanoid creature", or be more specific, like "a hawk-nosed human wearing a red cloak".

The animal will attempt to travel to that destination to the best of its ability, following the directions you have given it. It will not willingly part with its message until it reaches its destination. Once it reaches its destination, it will wait until it observes a valid recipient, leaving the destination only briefly as necessary to sustain itself. When the animal has delivered its message, this ability is dismissed, allowing you to know that the message has been delivered.

Animated Attendant

Rank 2

Tags: Attune

Rank 2

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Spheres: Fabrication, Polymorph, Telekinesis

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

You create a Small creature that follows your instructions. Its speed is 20 feet, and it can carry one object that is neither larger nor heavier than Tiny. It cannot take any actions other picking up objects, putting them down, and moving. Its combat statistics are the same as summon monster, except that it is destroyed if it takes any damage rather than if it gains a vital wound.

This ritual requires one fatigue level from its participants.

Mystic sphere effects:

Augury

Rank 2

Rank 2

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Spheres: Revelation

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

You receive a limited glimpse into your immediate future. When you perform this ritual, you specify a course of action that you could hypothetically take during the next hour. You can be as broad or as detailed as you want in your description of your plan, though more specific and plausible plans generally yield more accurate results. The GM specifies one of four possible outcomes for the augury based on what is most likely to occur if you follow your plan. This is not a guarantee of success or failure, especially for plans that have some intrinsic randomness or chance of failure (such as planning to defeat a monster in combat).

This ritual only yields accurate results once for any given situation. If you perform the ritual again in a situation that has not meaningfully changed, the augury always has no outcome regardless of the plan you specify. For example, if you are presented with seven doorways, with one doorway leading to a magnificent treasure and all other doorways leading to certain death, you cannot simply perform this ritual six times to determine the correct doorway.

This ritual requires one fatigue level from its participants.

Beacon of Darkness

Rank 2

Tags: Sustain (attuneable, minor)

Rank 2

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Spheres: Umbramancy

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

You constantly emit dim illumination in a Medium (30 ft.) radius. This illuminates dark areas, but does not suppress brighter light. Unlike normal light, this light is completely invisible outside of the radius that it illuminates.

Once per round, you can adjust the illumination you provide as a free action with the Swift tag. You can choose one of the following effects:

This ritual requires one fatigue level from its participants.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Rank 4: You can also change the area to a Large (60 ft.) radius.

Rank 6: You can also change the area to a Huge (90 ft.) radius.

Bestow Darkvision

Rank 2

Tags: Visual, Attune (target)

Rank 2

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Spheres: Polymorph, Umbramancy

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Choose up to six ritual participants. Each target gains darkvision with a range of 60 feet. If it already has darkvision, the range of its darkvision increases by 60 feet instead.

This ritual requires one fatigue level from its participants.

Bind Object

Rank 2

Tags: Attune (target)

Rank 2

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Spheres: Electromancy, Polymorph, Telekinesis, Terramancy

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Choose a Small or smaller unattended object that must be placed at the center of the ritual. You bind that object to its current location or to a ritual participant. If you choose a location, you must attune to the spell. Otherwise, the target creature must attune to the spell.

The object cannot be moved from the location or separated from the creature by more than 5 feet without breaking the bond. Breaking the bond requires a standard action and a difficulty value 15 Strength check.

This ritual requires one fatigue level from its participants.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Mystic sphere effects:

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

You can perform this ritual at a higher rank. The difficulty value of the Strength check increases by 2 per rank above 2.

Cleansing Meditation

Rank 2

Tags: Compulsion

Rank 2

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Spheres: Enchantment, Prayer, Thaumaturgy

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Choose up to six ritual participants. You can designate unconscious creatures as ritual participants for this ritual. Once the ritual finishes, each target enters a deep meditative state for ten minutes. At the end of that time, it removes all Emotion and Compulsion effects affecting it, including curses. It also gains the normal benefits of a short rest.

This ritual requires one fatigue level from its participants.

Commune with Elements

Rank 2

Tags: Sustain (attuneable, minor)

Rank 2

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Spheres: Aeromancy, Aquamancy, Pyromancy, Terramancy

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

You can speak with air, earth, fire, or water within a Huge (90 ft.) zone from your location. You can ask it simple questions and understand its responses. In general, elements are only able to give information about what they touch. This includes the general shapes, sizes, and locations of creatures and objects they interacted with, but not any details about color or subjective appearance.

The element you can speak with, and the scope of its memory and awareness, depends on the mystic sphere you use to perform this ritual.

This ritual requires one fatigue level from its participants.

Mystic sphere effects:

Conceal Trail

Rank 2

Tags: Attune

Rank 2

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Spheres: Chronomancy, Photomancy, Verdamancy

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Choose up to five creatures within Medium (60 ft.) range from among you and your allies. At the end of each round, the footprints, scent, and other tracks left by each target during that round are magically concealed. This increases the difficulty value to follow the trail by 10, but does not prevent creatures from seeing or smelling each target normally in combat. At the end of each round, if any target is outside of Long (90 ft.) range from you, the effect is broken for that target and its trail is revealed.

This ritual requires one fatigue level from its participants.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

You can perform this ritual at a higher rank. The difficulty value increases by 2 per rank above 2.

Consecrated Ground

Rank 2

Tags: Attune

Rank 2

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Spheres: Channel Divinity, Prayer

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

The area within an Large (60 ft.) radius shapeable zone from your location becomes sacred to your deity. This has no tangible effects by itself, but some special abilities and monsters behave differently in consecrated areas.

This ritual requires one fatigue level from its participants.

Create Food

Rank 2

Tags: Creation

Rank 2

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Spheres: Fabrication, Verdamancy

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

This ritual creates food and water in one unoccupied square within Short (30 ft.) range that is sufficient to sustain five Medium creatures for 24 hours. It also creates basic receptacles to hold the food. The food that this ritual creates is simple fare of your choice – highly nourishing, if rather bland.

This ritual requires one fatigue level from its participants.

Discern Location

Rank 2

Rank 2

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Spheres: Revelation

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

When you perform this ritual, choose a creature or object. You must have seen the chosen creature or object in person and either be able to clearly visualize its appearance or know its proper name to find it with this ritual. A creature or object without a proper name cannot be identified by name in this way. If you specify the chosen creature or object’s appearance incorrectly, or if it has significantly changed its appearance, you may accidentally affect a different creature, or the ritual may simply fail.

If the chosen creature or object is within 500 miles of you, you learn the location (place, name, business name, or the like), community, country, and continent where the target was at when you started performing this ritual. If there is no corresponding information about an aspect of the target’s location, such as if the target is in a location which is not part of a recognized country, you learn only that that aspect of the information is missing.

This ritual requires 8 fatigue levels from its participants.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Rank 4: There is no distance limitation. The target must simply be on the same plane as you.

Rank 6: The target does not have to be on the same plane as you.

Fins

Rank 2

Tags: Attune (target)

Rank 2

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Spheres: Aquamancy, Polymorph

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Choose up to six ritual participants. Each target gains a slow swim speed. If it already has a slow swim speed, it gains an average swim speed instead.

This ritual requires one fatigue level from its participants.

Gills

Rank 2

Tags: Attune (target)

Rank 2

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Spheres: Aquamancy, Polymorph

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Choose up to six ritual participants. Each target gains the ability to breathe water as easily as a human breathes air, preventing it from drowning or suffocating underwater.

This ritual requires one fatigue level from its participants.

Manipulate Water

Rank 2

Tags: Sustain (attuneable, minor)

Rank 2

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Spheres: Aquamancy

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

You change the speed of water within a Large (60 ft.) radius emanation from you by up to 5 miles per hour. If you decrease the water’s speed to 0, you can increase it again with the remainder of your speed change and choose any direction for it to travel. You choose the speed change and direction when you cast this spell, and that choice persists for the duration of this effect.

In addition to allowing you to change the direction of currents within large bodies of water, you can also use this to propel water across surfaces. Generally, moving water uphill costs at least 5 miles per hour of speed for every foot of elevation that you are trying to climb, which can limit your ability to move water up large distances.

This ritual requires one fatigue level from its participants.

Meld Shut

Rank 2

Tags: Attune

Rank 2

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Spheres: Polymorph

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Choose one Large or smaller closable, nonmagical object within Short (30 ft.) range, such as a door or box. The target changes its form so it cannot be opened. A box becomes fully sealed instead of hinged, a door expands slightly to merge with its frame, and so on. To a casual observer, it may not be obvious that there was ever an opening, though a difficulty value 15 Awareness check would reveal the alteration. Opening the object without breaking it requires a difficulty value 20 Devices check.

When you perform this ritual, you may choose a Fine object within Short (30 ft.) range to function as a key. When the chosen key touches the sealed object, this ritual is suppressed for one minute, allowing the object to be opened normally.

This ritual requires one fatigue level from its participants.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

You can perform this ritual at a higher rank. The difficulty value increases by 2 per rank above 2.

Nightmare

Rank 2

Rank 2

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Spheres: Enchantment, Revelation

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

This ritual has no verbal components.

Choose one sleeping creature within Medium (60 ft.) range. The target has a nightmare within the next hour of its sleep. You can choose the general structure or theme of the nightmare, but not its exact details. For example, you could specify that the nightmare is related to drowning or spiders. This nightmare prevents the target from getting a restful night’s sleep. Some people will change their behavior based on their nightmare, especially superstitious people.

This ritual requires one fatigue level from its participants.

Observe the Future

Rank 2

Rank 2

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Spheres: Chronomancy

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

You receive a limited insight into your immediate future. When you perform this ritual, you specify a course of action that you could hypothetically take during the next hour. At the end of the ritual, a version of yourself from an hour into the future appears. That person is a version of yourself who took your described course of action. You can visibly observe any changes in their appearance, and they can briefly gesture to indicate whether they recommend following that action, but no words can be exchanged.

If no version of yourself appears, it is likely that you would not survive taking your proposed course of action. The future is variable and chaotic, so making the same decisions does not guarantee the same results as your future self, but it should be likely to have a similar outcome.

This ritual requires one fatigue level from its participants and the consumption of diamond dust with the equivalent value of a rank 2 item (200 gp).

Permanent Light

Rank 2

Tags: Visual

Rank 2

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Spheres: Electromancy, Photomancy, Pyromancy

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

This ritual requires one fatigue level from its participants and the consumption of diamond dust with the equivalent value of a rank 2 item (200 gp).

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Rank 4: The area increases to a Large (60 ft.) radius.

Rank 6: The area increases to a Huge (90 ft.) radius.

Rank 2

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Spheres: Photomancy, Revelation, Thaumaturgy

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Creatures or objects within a Large (60 ft.) radius emanation from you cannot be invisible. Any effects that would cause them to be invisible are suppressed.

This ritual requires one fatigue level from its participants.

Purify Sustenance

Rank 2

Rank 2

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Spheres: Prayer, Toxicology

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

All food in a Small (15 ft.) radius within within Short (30 ft.) range is purified. Spoiled, rotten, poisonous, or otherwise contaminated food becomes pure and suitable for eating. This does not prevent subsequent natural decay or spoiling.

This ritual requires one fatigue level from its participants.

Purify Water

Rank 2

Tags: Sustain (attuneable, minor)

Rank 2

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Spheres: Aquamancy, Prayer, Toxicology

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

You can separate out dirt, sand, salt, poison, and similar minor pollutants from up to one thousand gallons of water within Short (30 ft.) range. That roughly corresponds to a single 5-ftċube of water. The waste material moves to the edge of the water so it falls out or can be easily removed. It remains separated until this ritual’s effect ends. This does not remove magical effects or contaminants heavier than half a pound. Using this to gradually purify a very large body of water is difficult, since the waste material can easily mix with the water unaffected by a single use of this ritual.

This ritual requires one fatigue level from its participants.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Rank 4: The volume increases to two thousand gallons of water, or two 5-ft. cubes.

Rank 6: The volume increases to four thousand gallons of water, or four 5-ft. cubes.

This ritual requires one fatigue level from its participants.

Restful Sleep

Rank 2

Rank 2

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Spheres: Enchantment, Toxicology

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Choose one ritual participant. The target immediately falls asleep, and cannot be awoken unless it loses hit points or gains a vital wound. If it finishes a long rest while asleep in this way, it removes an additional vital wound.

This ritual requires one fatigue level from its participants.

Retrieve Legacy

Rank 2

Rank 2

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Spheres: Astromancy

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Choose one ritual participant. If its legacy item is on the same plane and unattended, the item is teleported into the creature’s hand.

Scryward

Rank 2

Rank 2

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Spheres: Revelation, Thaumaturgy, Umbramancy

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Spheres: Cryomancy, Polymorph, Telekinesis, Terramancy

Choose one Large or smaller closable, nonmagical object within Short (30 ft.) range, such as a door or box. The target becomes impossible to open and more difficult to break. It gains a +10 bonus to its hardness. Opening the object without breaking it requires a DV 20 Devices check.

When you perform this ritual, you may choose a Fine object within Short (30 ft.) range to function as a key. When the chosen key touches the protected object, this ritual is suppressed for one minute, allowing the object to be opened normally.

This ritual requires one fatigue level from its participants.

Seek Legacy

Rank 2

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Spheres: Prayer, Revelation, Thaumaturgy

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Choose one ritual participant. They learn the precise distance and direction to their legacy item, if it is on the same plane.

This ritual requires one fatigue level from its participants.

Sending

Rank 2

Tags: Sustain (standard)

Rank 2

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Spheres: Aeromancy, Prayer, Revelation

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Choose a creature within 500 miles of you. You do not need line of sight or line of effect to the target. However, you must specify your target with a precise mental image of its appearance. The image does not have to be perfect, but it must unambiguously identify the target. If you specify its appearance incorrectly, or if the target has changed its appearance, you may accidentally target a different creature, or the ritual may simply fail.

You send the target a short verbal message. The message must be twenty-five words or less, and speaking the message must not take longer than five rounds.

After the target receives the message, it may reply with a message of the same length as long as the ritual’s effect continues. Once it speaks twenty-five words, or you stop sustaining the effect, the effect ends.

This ritual requires one fatigue level from its participants.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

You learn the general pattern of where active fires exist within a one mile radius from your location. The detail of your mental picture is limited to roughly knowing whether fire does or does not exist in each hundred-foot square in the area. Since this is a Detection ability, it can penetrate some solid objects (see Detection). This ritual can sense fires as small as a candle flame, but no smaller.

This ritual requires one fatigue level from its participants.

You learn the general pattern of where natural, nonmagical plants exist within a one mile radius from your location. The detail of your mental picture is limited to roughly knowing whether plants do or do not exist in each hundred-foot square in the area. Since this is a Detection ability, it can penetrate some solid objects (see Detection). This ritual can only sense plants that are Small or larger, or closely packed clusters of smaller plants that reach a similar combined size (such as dense grass).

This ritual requires one fatigue level from its participants.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Spheres: Telekinesis, Thaumaturgy

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

You create a permeable barrier around a shapeable Small (15 ft.) radius zone from your location. The barrier is visible as a shimmering magical membrane that does not block sight. As a standard action, a creature can move five feet from outside the hut to inside the hut, or vice versa. However, the hut blocks line of effect for all other purposes. The barrier has hit points equal to three times your power, and is destroyed when its hit points become negative.
