Directions
Light the ritual candle. Hold the ritual component above the flames while reading the incantation aloud.
Standard Incantations
Neutral
Claw and tooth, mind and body.
Godbeast in the sky conceal the world, let all be covered in your mystery.
Hide the truth so that none may find it.
Dark Three
Hide my intentions in the dark, consequences being stark.
Here to stay, stand stout and sound, never to waive, false fronts to place. \\
Cloud their sight, I beg thee darkness.
From the blinding light shield me.
Septly
Twist and tangle, Scholar bright, twist the words so wrong is right;
Let the lies like truths be heard; Let the real story be blurred.
Though the questioner's elite, answer with perfect deceit.
Effect
While the target has the Truthful condition, they can only tell lies instead of its normal effects. They do not call 'No Effect!' when they do this.

Preparing a Ritual
To cast a ritual a character must have: the skills required for that ritual, the components needed to perform the ritual (which are consumed), any foci required to perform the ritual (which are not consumed), and a copy of the ritual itself. Some rituals may also require additional participants.
Casting a Ritual
Each ritual has on it a set of instructions for what must be done to perform that specific ritual. Follow the instructions exactly. If the ritual requires an incantation, the instructions will tell you when to read the incantation. You must use the incantation listed on the ritual and you must read it off the piece of paper, it cannot be read from memory. Otherwise this functions exactly like spell incantations.
Once you have completed the instructions on the ritual, it has been successfully performed. Now follow the information listed in the "Effect" portion of the ritual.
Rituals do not generally require power points to cast, however as each ritual is different it is possible one might need them. The ritual will say if it does.
