Rituals

Rituals are the lifeblood of Khorvaire, industrializing magic into standardized forms. For the players, rituals are "out of combat" magic that can be used to solve otherwise difficult problems.

How Rituals Work

Ritual Access

Casting rituals is governed by the Arcana skill. Some classes are automatically trained in Arcana, others have it on their skill list, while most don't have access to it. The Skill Training feat can give access to the Arcana skill to cast rituals, while the Training downtime activity can also unlock ritual casting.

Reading a Ritual

Rituals follow the following format

Weak B 2
Moderate C 3
Strong D 4

Categories of Rituals

All rituals fall into one of the following categories

Abjuration: Abjuration rituals create wards and glyphs to discourage or prevent creatures from taking certain actions. Protection rituals use Khyber dragonshards for their component cost.

Accommodation: Accommodation rituals provide food, shelter, water, and various creature comforts to their users. Accommodation rituals use Eberron dragonshards for their component cost.

Communication: Communication rituals allow the communication over great distances and bridge the gap between sentient races. Communication rituals use Siberys dragonshards for their component cost.

Creation: Creation rituals build, repair, and summon permanent objects. Creation rituals use Eberron dragonshards for their component cost.

Deception: Deception rituals conceal or disguise people, objects, and areas. Deception rituals use Khyber dragonshards for their component cost.

Divination: Divination rituals discover information and pierce illusions. Divination rituals use Siberys dragonshards for their component cost.

Environment: Environment rituals interact with and control the natural world. Environment rituals use Eberron dragonshards for their component cost.

Restoration: Restoration rituals remove diseases and curses, raise the dead, and enhance the use of medicine. Restoration rituals use Siberys dragonshards for their component cost.

Travel: Travel rituals move people and things from one location to another. Travel rituals use Eberron dragonshards for their component cost.

Casting a Ritual

To cast a ritual, you first need dragonshards of a type appropriate to the category of ritual and of sufficient quantity or size to meet the component cost requirements. Half are consumed when you start the ritual, and half are consumed when the ritual is successfully completed.

While you cast a ritual you must remain mostly stationary for the entire casting duration. You can cast a ritual while riding on a mount or vehicle, however this will not work for certain rituals that affect an area. For those rituals you will need to stay in the area affected for the entire cast time.

If you are attacked and take damage while casting a ritual you must make an endurance check with DC equal to 10 + half the damage taken. If you fail, the ritual is disrupted. The ritual is also disrupted if you are dazed, stunned, subject to forced movement, or knocked prone.

At the completion of the ritual, make an Arcana check. This will be used in the results of the ritual as proscribed by the ritual text.

Ritual Books and Ritual Access

Casting a ritual also requires the ritual written out either in a ritual book or on a scroll. Scrolls let you cast rituals in half the time, but use up the magic imbued into the scroll with its creation. Characters trained in Arcana at character creation start with three rituals in their ritual book.

Adding a ritual to a ritual book from either another ritual book or a scroll requires a downtime. Most rituals can be bought for their market price, although finding where they can be bought depends on the level of the ritual. Any ritual of fifth level or lower can be found in Khorvaire, and a select few higher level rituals can be found in the most prestigious of academies and institutes, but generally for higher level rituals you will have to look beyond the five nations.

Dragonmarks and Arcana Training

Each dragonmark gives the ability to cast a ritual without paying its component cost. Dragonmarked characters are unique in their ability to make an Arcana check untrained for any rituals they have access to. Arcana training still works with their free ritual, representing how training can hone a mark.

Level 1

Amanuensis

With a little bit of magic you transfer the contents of a book or other piece of writing into a new book

  • Level: 1
  • Category: Creation
  • Component Cost: 5 gp, plus enough paper for the transcribed text
  • Market Price: 25 gp
  • Casting Time: 10 minutes
  • Duration: Instantaneous

You completely and perfectly copy the writing in a book or other text onto new paper. If the original book was magical, the magic on the book is not copied. If this ritual is interrupted, unlike other rituals you get a partial effect of transcribing a percentage of the text equal to how much time you had spent casting the ritual. However, you also expend all of the component cost at the start of casting this ritual rather than just half.

Animal Messenger

You whisper a quick message to a nearby friend

  • Level: 1
  • Category: Communication
  • Component Cost: 5 gp
  • Market Price: 25 gp
  • Casting Time: 1 minute
  • Duration: Varies

When beginning the ritual, choose a nearby animal that is not hostile to you. The animal approaches you, and you may give it a message up to 25 words in length.

Animal Messenger Arcana Check
Result Effect one
9 or lower 1 mile
10-13 5 miles
14-17 15 miles
18 or higher 30 miles

The animal will travel a maximum distance based on your Arcana check to a target you specify. You must physically describe the target, so you can say "Give this message to one of the royal guards, whom wear heavy armor and have this specific emblem" or you can give an exact description of an ally. The animal will then travel as quickly as possible to deliver your message to the target. If the animal does not make it to the target you are notified when it is stopped.

Benefits of The Last War

The five nations not only engaged in a traditional arms race but a magical arms race, creating innovative pressures for new forms of magic not found in other settings

Clean

A spell to make Cinderella jealous

  • Level: 1
  • Category: Accommodation
  • Component Cost: 5 gp
  • Market Price: 25 gp
  • Casting Time: 1 minute
  • Duration: Instantaneous

This ritual completely cleans the contents of a room, dusting, polishing, and sweeping everything to "Grandma Standard". However, it won't rearrange furniture or make any other decisions related to arrangement that would actually make her happy.

Comprehend Languages

As you finish the ritual, the guttural language of the creatures before you clarifies into something you understand.

  • Level: 1
  • Category: Communication
  • Component Cost: 5 gp
  • Market Price: 25 gp
  • Casting Time: 10 minutes
  • Duration: 24 hours

When beginning the ritual, choose a language you have heard or a piece of writing you have seen within the past 24 hours.

Using this ritual on a language you have heard allows you to understand it when spoken for the next 24 hours and, if your Arcana check result is 18 or higher, to speak the language fluently for the duration.

Using this ritual on a language you have seen as a piece of writing allows you to read the language for the next 24 hours and, if your Arcana check result is 18 or higher, to write the language in its native script or in any other script you know for the duration.

Using this ritual on a language you have both heard and seen as a piece of writing within the past 24 hours allows you to understand it in both forms for the next 24 hours, and an Arcana check result of 18 or higher allows you to speak and write the language.

Detect Plants and Animals

As you complete the ritual your awareness grows, and you can feel the life force of non-sapient creatures around you.

  • Level: 1
  • Category: Divination
  • Component Cost: 5 gp
  • Market Price: 25 gp
  • Casting Time: 10 minutes
  • Duration: 1 hour

When you cast the ritual, specify a particular kind of animal or plant. Until the end of the duration, you can detect whether that particular kind of animal or plant is within a 5 times your Arcana check feet of you. Furthermore, you get a "getting warmer" or "getting colder" feeling for the nearest specimen of that plant or animal.

As a standard action you may change what kind of animal or plant the ritual detects.

Ethereal Mount

An ethereal steed gallops into view, called by your ritual

  • Level: 1
  • Category: Travel
  • Component Cost: 5 gp
  • Market Price: 25 gp
  • Casting Time: 1 minute
  • Duration: 8 hours

When you finish casting the ritual, you summon a Riding Horse that is absolutely loyal to you. This horse cannot attack, has hit points equal to 20 + 10 x your level, and has your defenses. The horse has a speed of 40'

Eyes of Alarm

You conjure forth a phantasmal sentry—a slender pillar 6 feet tall, topped with a floating, unblinking eye. The eye watches over your camp as you sleep and cries out an alert if danger approaches.

  • Level: 1
  • Category: Abjuration
  • Component Cost: 5 gp
  • Market Price: 25 gp
  • Casting Time: 15 minutes
  • Duration: 10 hours

This ritual creates watchful eyes that you place in any space within 50 feet of where you perform the ritual. Each eye is located in a particular square; it is intangible and can’t be interacted with physically. The eyes are nearly invisible and have a Stealth check result of 20 + your level to avoid detection.

Your Arcana check determines how many eyes you can place and what type of vision or sensory ability they possess.

Eyes of Alarm Arcana Check
Result Eyes Created Vision
9 or lower One Normal
10-13 One Darkvision
14-17 Two Darkvision
18 or higher Three Darkvision

The eyes do not hear, but they see well. Each uses your Perception modifier, with a +5 bonus.

If an eye sees an intruder, it emits a loud warning sound defined by you during the ritual. This sound could be anything from a stentorian “Enemies approach!” to an owl’s screech to a fanfare of trumpets. The Perception DC to hear the eye’s sound is 0 (modified by distance as normal).

The eyes never consider you an intruder. In addition, you can designate any number of other ritual participants as nonintruders. When you perform the ritual, you can also designate one or more categories of creatures that the eyes will ignore. You can define these categories by obvious physical characteristics (such as height, weight, or body shape), creature type (such as humanoid), creature race (such as hill giant), or obvious equipment (such as a creature carrying a shield with a flame emblazoned upon it).

The ritual’s effects last for 24 hours or until you move more than 20 squares from all the eyes.

Optional Focus: You can extend the duration of this ritual indefinitely by using a focus of a small, jeweled eye made of silver and ruby, worth 100 gp. The ritual’s effects last as long as the focus remains within 100' of any of the eyes. You can hide or protect the ritual’s focus in any way you like, as long as it remains within 100' of the eyes

Gentle Repose

Your practiced hands preserve the body for a later casting of raise dead

  • Level: 1
  • Category: Restoration
  • Component Cost: 5 gp
  • Market Price: 25 gp
  • Casting Time: 1 hour
  • Duration: Special

This ritual is performed on an adjacent corpse. It quintuples the time the corpse can lie dead and still be affected by Raise Dead or a similar ritual. Gentle Repose also protects the corpse from being raised as an undead creature for 150 days.

Identify

Concentrating on the item in front of you, you're able to gain insight on its properties and history.

  • Level: 1
  • Category: Divination
  • Component Cost: 5 gp
  • Market Price: 25 gp
  • Casting Time: 10 minutes
  • Duration: Instantaneous

You choose one object that you must touch throughout the casting of the ritual. If it is a magic item or some other magic-imbued object, you learn its properties and how to use them. You learn whether any spells are affecting the item and what they are. If the item was created by a spell, you learn which spell created it.

As part of casting this ritual you may make an Arcana. This check counts as a History check to know the story of this item.

If you instead touch a creature throughout the casting, you learn what spells, if any, are currently affecting it.

Mage Armor

A shimmering barrier deflects the assassin's attack, taking him by surprise. You smirk with a grin a deliver a deadly counterattack.

  • Level: 1
  • Category: Abjuration
  • Component Cost: 5 gp
  • Market Price: 25 gp
  • Casting Time: 10 minutes
  • Duration: 8 hours

When beginning the ritual, choose one creature that must remain within 30' of you for the duration of the ritual.

For the duration of the ritual, the creature gains a +2 armor bonus to AC. If you are 11th level or higher when you perform this ritual, the bonus increases to +3. If you are 21st level or higher, the bonus increases to +4.

Make Whole

As you finish the ritual, the oaken door stands whole and unblemished as if Orten the Rager hadn’t just burst through it with murder in his eyes. It’s the least you can do after using the inn to ambush the infamous barbarian.

  • Level: 1
  • Category: Creation
  • Component Cost: Special
  • Market Price: 25 gp
  • Casting Time: 10 minutes
  • Duration: Permanent

A single object that can fit in a 10-foot cube is completely repaired. The component cost is 20 percent of the item’s cost. In cases where you attempt to repair an item not on any price list, the DM determines the cost

Mask Smells

Grinding and igniting the components, you cover up an unpleasent or revealing odor

  • Level: 1
  • Category: Deception
  • Component Cost: 5 gp
  • Market Price: 25 gp
  • Casting Time: 10 minutes
  • Duration: Varies

You cover up any smells emanating from up to a 5' cube's worth of material for a duration based on your Arcana check. Depending on your result you may also be able to replace the smell with something more pleasing or otherwise desireable. You can always "downgrade" your new smell result.

Mask Smells Arcana Check
Result Duration New Smell
9 or lower 1 hour Neutral
10-13 8 hours Vaguely Floral
14-17 48 hours Any weak smell

You whisper a message into a distant target's ear

  • Level: 1
  • Category: Communication
  • Component Cost: 5 gp
  • Market Price: 25 gp
  • Casting Time: 15 minutes
  • Duration: Instantaneous

You send a one way message to a target creature you have met before or otherwise know and is also within 1 mile. Your Arcana check result determines the length of the message

Message Arcana Check
Result Length
9 or lower 10 words
10-13 25 words
14-17 75 words
18 or higher 200 words

Restoration, Lesser

Racing against the poison in your friend's veins, you concoct a brew that should function as an antidote

  • Level: 1
  • Category: Restoration
  • Component Cost: 5 gp
  • Market Price: 25 gp
  • Casting Time: 10 minutes
  • Duration: Instantaneous

You can make an Arcana check in place of medicine check to help a creature recover from a disease or injury. If you are trained in medicine, you gain a +2 bonus to this roll or can instead make a medicine check with an additional +2 bonus.

Shenta's Floating Disk

You conjure a small disk of force to carry your luggage.

  • Level: 1
  • Category: Accommodation
  • Component Cost: 5 gp
  • Market Price: 25 gp
  • Casting Time: 1 minute
  • Duration: 2 hours

You create a circular, horizontal plane of force, 3 feet in diameter and 1 inch thick, that floats 3 feet above the ground in an unoccupied space of your choice that you can see within range. The disk can hold a number of pounds equal to fourty times your Arcana check result.

The disk is immobile while you are within 20 feet of it. If you move more than 20 feet away from it, the disk follows you so that it remains within 20 feet of you. It can move across uneven terrain, up or down stairs, slopes and the like, but it can’t cross an elevation change of 10 feet or more. For example, the disk can’t move across a 10-foot-deep pit, nor could it leave such a pit if it was created at the bottom. If you move more than 100 feet from the disk (typically because it can’t move around an obstacle to follow you), the ritual ends.

Speak with Animals

It's amazing what the animals see but do not tell. Such as which way that talking llama went.

  • Level: 1
  • Category: Environment
  • Component Cost: 5 gp
  • Market Price: 25 gp
  • Casting Time: 1 minute
  • Duration: Varies

For the ritual's duration you gain the ability to communicate with natural beasts. This does not make the animals friendly, nor does it let them know more than their experience and mobility would tell them.

Speak with Animals Arcana Check
Result Duration
9 or lower One minute
10-13 Ten minutes
14-17 1 hour
18 or higher 8 hours

Water Walk

You take yourself for a stroll across the lake

  • Level: 1
  • Category: Environment
  • Component Cost: 5 gp
  • Market Price: 25 gp
  • Casting Time: 1 minute
  • Duration: 1 hour

You or an ally gain the ability to walk on water as if it were solid ground. If the water is rough or choppy treat it as difficult terrain. The target of this ritual can end its benefits as a free action. The target can immerse itself in water or swim underwater if desired without needing to end the ritual.

Unseen Servant

Why bother with real servants when magical ones are so much more obedient?

  • Level: 1
  • Category: Accommodation
  • Component Cost: 5 gp
  • Market Price: 25 gp
  • Casting Time: 10 minutes
  • Duration: Until you fall unconscious or dismiss the servant

You conjure a Medium unseen servant of invisible force. It obeys your commands, moves at your speed, can lift up to 100 pounds, and performs basic functions and repetitive tasks, such as cleaning, making camp, and moving, holding, or carrying objects.

An unseen servant never tires. It cannot move more than 100' from your position. It does not occupy any space and cannot attack or be attacked. You may only have one unseen servant at a time from this ritual

Focus: A ceramic hand. The person who holds this focus is empowered to command any unseen servants summoned with it. If the focus is broken or not in anyone's possession for a minute or longer, all unseen servants bound to it disappear and any items they were holding are dropped.

Vylae's Silent Image

You conjure images of you and your companions sleeping, then wait in the next room over for the assassins to make the next move.

  • Level: 1
  • Category: Deception (Illusion)
  • Component Cost: 5 gp
  • Market Price: 25 gp
  • Casting Time: 1 minute
  • Duration: 1 hour

You create the image of an object, a creature, or some other visible phenomenon that is no larger than a 15-foot cube. The image appears at a spot within range and lasts for the duration. The image is purely visual, it isn't accompanied by sound, smell, or other sensory effects.

You can use a standard action to cause the image to move to any spot within range. As the image changes location, you can alter its appearance so that its movements appear natural for the image. For example, if you create an image of a creature and move it, you can alter the image so that it appears to be walking.

Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it. A creature that uses a standard action to examine the image can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Insight check against your Arcana check result. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the creature can see through the image.

Level 2

Absorb Weapon

The assassin's dagger merges with her forearm, neatly allowing her to enter the ball 'unarmed'

  • Level: 2
  • Category: Deception (Polymorph)
  • Component Cost: 25 gp
  • Market Price: 125 gp
  • Casting Time: 1 minute
  • Duration: 24 hours

When you begin this ritual, choose a weapon (or other object), a creature, and an area of flesh on that creature roughly the size of the chosen object. When the ritual is completed, the object is harmlessly absorbed into the designated patch of flesh, leaving a faint marking with perception DC equal to your Arcana check to notice. Note that a creature can only make a perception check to notice this marking if the affected portion of flesh is visible. The marking is similarly hidden from magical detection, requiring an Arcana check with DC equal to your Arcana check to notice. The absorbed object cannot be felt under the skin and doesn't restrict your range of motion in any way.

When you touch the spot (usually requiring a minor action), or when the ritual duration expires, the object appears in your hand and the ritual ends.

Abundant Vegetation

The existing vegetation expands to impeding movement

  • Level: 2
  • Category: Environment
  • Component Cost: 25 gp
  • Market Price: 125 gp
  • Casting Time: 10 minutes
  • Duration: Instantaneous

You can sculpt and empower the vegetation in an area, with the size based on your Arcana check result

Abundant Vegetation Arcana Check
Result Area
9 or lower 5' radius
10-13 15' radius
14-17 30' radius
18 or higher 60' radius

You can grow light vegetation into medium vegetation, which functions as difficult terrain. You can grow medium vegetation into heavy vegetation, which serves as blocking terrain. When you create blocking terrain you can choose whether it also obstructs vision.

Air Breathing

The Sahuagin sprinkles some ground dragonshards and says a few words before fully emerginf from the water, now able to breathe clearly while conducting business on the surface

  • Level: 2
  • Category: Travel
  • Component Cost: 25 gp
  • Market Price: 125 gp
  • Casting Time: 1 minute
  • Duration: 24 hours

You give a creature with gills the ability to breathe air for the duration.

Alice's Conceal Object

Some words and some dust make your shoddy wagon look like an expensive carriage

  • Level: 2
  • Category: Deception (Illusion)
  • Component Cost: 25 gp
  • Market Price: 125 gp
  • Casting Time: 10 minutes
  • Duration: 3 hours

When you cast this ritual, select one object or portion of an object no bigger than a 5' cube. You can disguise the object however you please - turn it invisible, make it look like another object, or anything else imaginable.

This is an illusion with a perception DC equal to your Arcana check result.

Arcane Lock

A few words of binding seal the door shut

  • Level: 2
  • Category: Abjuration
  • Component Cost: 25 gp
  • Market Price: 125 gp
  • Casting Time: 1 minutes
  • Duration: 1 hour

You touch a closed door, window, gate, chest, or other entryway, and it becomes locked for the duration. You and the creatures you designate when you cast this ritual can open the object normally. You can also set a password that, when spoken within 5 feet of the object, suppresses this ritual for 1 minute. Otherwise, it is impassable until it is broken or the spell is dispelled or suppressed. The Knock ritual can dispel or suppress an Arcane Lock.

While affected by this ritual, the object is more difficult to break or force open, increasing the Strength DC by 10.

Darkness

The chosen area becomes utterly impermeable to light

  • Level: 2
  • Category: Travel
  • Component Cost: 25 gp
  • Market Price: 125 gp
  • Casting Time: 1 minute
  • Duration: 30 minutes

You create a sphere of utter blackness, the area determined by your Arcana check result

Darkness Arcana Check
Result Area
9 or lower 5' radius
10-13 15' radius
14-17 30' radius
18 or higher 60' radius

The darkness automatically overwhelms any magical light source with an Arcana check result lower than the Darkness. Natural darkvision does not allow a creature to see into the affected area.

Darkvision

Your pupils dilate and become a swirling black vortex, pulling in the faintest amounts of light

  • Level: 2
  • Category: Divination
  • Component Cost: 25 gp
  • Market Price: 125 gp
  • Casting Time: 1 minute
  • Duration: 8 hours

While you cast this ritual, choose yourself or an ally. The target gains the ability to see up to 60' through both nonmagical darkness and some forms of magical darkness based on your competing Arcana checks

Darkvision Arcana Check
Comparitive result Vision
5 or more See normally
0 to 4 Lightly obscured
-5 to -1 Heavily obscured
-6 or less Can't see
Competing Rituals

Many rituals cancel each other out, either directly or indirectly. Divinaton rituals can bypass deception rituals, or deception rituals can bypass divination rituals. This is resolved through comparing the arcana check results, sometimes with a modifier to advantage one ritual or the other.

Detect Anima

Your vision deepens in intensity as you see the energy that flows through everything, clearly identifying the dark energies holding the skeletons together

  • Level: 2
  • Category: Divination
  • Component Cost: 25 gp
  • Market Price: 125 gp
  • Casting Time: 10 minutes
  • Duration: 1 hour

When you cast the ritual, specify a particular kind of animate creature, such as a zombie or iron golem. Until the end of the duration, you can detect whether that particular kind of animate creature is within a 5 times your Arcana check feet of you. Furthermore, you get a "getting warmer" or "getting colder" feeling for the nearest specimen of that animate creature.

As a standard action you may change what kind of animate creature the ritual detects.

Disguise Self

Your form blurs for a moment before you suddenly appear in your new, gruffer, shorter form

  • Level: 2
  • Category: Deception (Illusion)
  • Component Cost: 25 gp
  • Market Price: 125 gp
  • Casting Time: 4 hours
  • Duration: Instantaneous

You make yourself or an ally--including clothing, armor, weapons, and other belongings on your person--look different until the ritual ends or until you use your action to dismiss it. You can seem 1 foot shorter or taller and can appear thin, fat, or in between. You can't change your body type, so you must adopt a form that has the same basic arrangement of limbs. Otherwise, the extent of the illusion is up to you.

The changes wrought by this ritual fail to hold up to physical inspection. For example, if you use this ritual to add a hat to your outfit, objects pass through the hat, and anyone who touches it would feel nothing or would feel your head and hair. If you use this ritual to appear thinner than you are, the hand of someone who reaches out to touch you would bump into you while it was seemingly still in midair.

This is an illusion with a perception DC equal to your Arcana check result.

Find Location

Focusing, you find the way to a place that was lost

  • Level: 2
  • Category: Divination
  • Component Cost: 25 gp
  • Market Price: 125 gp
  • Casting Time: 1 hour
  • Duration: Instantaneous

To use this ritual you must either have previously visited a location or have some object from that location. When you complete the ritual, you learn where the location is and have a general idea of how to get there. Your Arcana check result is used to pierce through wards against divination.

Fireworks

You shoot colorful sparks into the air, creating an entertaining display that can be seen for miles

  • Level: 2
  • Category: Accommodation
  • Component Cost: 25 gp
  • Market Price: 125 gp
  • Casting Time: 2 minutes
  • Duration: 1 hour

You set up a battery of spells that will go off in the next hour, shooting up into the sky and explode colorfully. The fireworks are not harmful to creatures, the explosions being pure color without heat.

Knock

After three, loud raps the locks pop off and the jammed door swings freely open

  • Level: 2
  • Category: Travel
  • Component Cost: 25 gp
  • Market Price: 125 gp
  • Casting Time: 1 minute
  • Duration: Instantaneous

After a loud, clear rapping on a sealed, shut, or locked door, the door swings open freely. Compare your Arcana check against the Lock DC on the door to determine if the door opens. Knock can suppress an Arcane Lock ritual if your Arcana check result is within at least 5 of the Arcane Lock's check result. If you beat the Arcane Lock's Arcana result by at least 5, you can instead dispel the lock.

Hasal's Minor Sensor

The small, invisible node of magic placed in the King's Chamber allows you to hear his conversation with his scheming advisor later

  • Level: 2
  • Category: Divination
  • Component Cost: 25 gp
  • Market Price: 125 gp

Deception (Illusion) vs (Polymorph)

Illusion effects are not 'real' - They do not create an object that can support weight or carry things. Most low level illusions will fail completely to physical inspection, while some stronger illusions can cause a creature to perceive something as solid. Polymorph effects cause real physical change but can still be noticed as unnatural.

Magic Mouth

You leave some words of warning for whatever party stumbles through next

  • Level: 2

  • Market Price: 125 gp
  • Casting Time: 10 minutes
  • Duration: Until Dispelled

You implant a message within an object in range, a message that is uttered when a trigger condition is met. Choose an object that you can see and that isn't being worn or carried by another creature. Then speak the message, which must be 25 words or less, though it can be delivered over as long as 10 minutes. Finally, determine the circumstance that will trigger the ritual to deliver your message.

When that circumstance occurs, a magical mouth appears on the object and recites the message in your voice and at the same volume you spoke. If the object you chose has a mouth or something that looks like a mouth (for example, the mouth of a statue), the magical mouth appears there so that the words appear to come from the object's mouth. When you cast this ritual, you can have the ritual end after it delivers its message, or it can remain and repeat its message whenever the trigger occurs.

The triggering circumstance can be as general or as detailed as you like, though it must be based on visual or audible conditions that occur within 30 feet of the object. For example, you could instruct the mouth to speak when any creature moves within 30 feet of the object or when a silver bell rings within 30 feet of it.

Furthermore, most rituals don't have any real combat application or are explicitly precluded from being useful in combat.

You can use a standard action to cause the image to move to any spot within range. As the image changes location, you can alter its appearance so that its movements appear natural for the image. For example, if you create an image of a creature and move it, you can alter the image so that it appears to be walking.

Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it. A creature that uses a standard action to examine the image can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Insight check against your Arcana check result. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the creature can see through the image.

  • Component Cost: 120 gp
  • Market Price: 600 gp
  • Casting Time: 10 minutes
  • Duration: 24 hours

When you begin the ritual choose which type of corporeal undead the target will appear to be. For the duration of the ritual you or an ally appear to be that kind of undead for the purposes of the senses and any divination magic.

Talina's Protection from Divination

For protecting and protection from evil plots

  • Level: 4
  • Category: Abjuration
  • Component Cost: 120 gp
  • Market Price: 600 gp
  • Casting Time: 10 minutes
  • Duration: 24 hours

As you cast this ritual you must hold an object that will be the focal point of the ritual. When you complete the ritual, an area based on your Arcana check result is protected from divination magic.

Talina's Protection from Divination Arcana Check
Result Area
10 or lower 5' sphere
11-14 10' sphere
15-18 20' sphere
19 or higher 30' sphere

Whispering Wind

Imagine what kind messages people would share if long distance instantaneous communication were common

  • Level: 4
  • Category: Communication
  • Component Cost: 120 gp
  • Market Price: 600 gp
  • Casting Time: 15 minutes
  • Duration: Varies

You send a message or sound on the wind to a designated spot. The whispering wind travels to a specific location within range that is familiar to you, provided that it can find a way to the location. A whispering wind is as gentle and unnoticed as a zephyr until it reaches the location. It then delivers its whisper-quiet message or other sound. Note that the message is delivered regardless of whether anyone is present to hear it. The wind then dissipates.

Your Arcana check result determines how many rounds the ritual lasts. Each round the ritual can speak up to 25 words, make other sounds, or simply be the faint stirring of the air. You can likewise cause the whispering wind to move as slowly as 1 mile per hour or as quickly as 1 mile per 10 minutes.

Whispering Wind Arcana Check
Result Duration Max range
10 or lower 1 round 5 miles
11-14 2 rounds 10 miles
15-18 4 rounds 20 miles
19 or higher 12 rounds 40 miles

Zone of Truth

Finishing the circle around your captive, you step back and ask "Who killed the Duchess?"

  • Level: 4
  • Category: Divination
  • Component Cost: 120 gp
  • Market Price: 600 gp
  • Casting Time: 15 minutes
  • Duration: 1 hour

You create a magical zone that guards against deception in a 15-foot-circle. Until the ritual ends, a creature that enters the ritual's area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there must make an Charisma check against your Arcana check result. On a failed check, a creature can't speak a deliberate lie while in the radius. You know whether each creature succeeds or fails on its saving throw.

An affected creature is aware of the ritual and can thus avoid answering questions to which it would normally respond with a lie. Such creatures can be evasive in its answers as long as it remains within the boundaries of the truth.

Level 5

Activate Teleportation Circle

The runes at the edge of the circle light up before you teleport

  • Level: 5
  • Category: Travel
  • Component Cost: 205 gp
  • Market Price: 1025 gp
  • Casting Time: 10 minutes
  • Duration: Instantaneous

You activate a teleportation circle, teleporting anyone inside to another circle you know the keyword for.

Castar's Invisibility, Greater

An ally dissappears from sight, their footsteps not even making a sound

  • Level: 5
  • Category: Deception
  • Component Cost: 205 gp
  • Market Price: 1025 gp
  • Casting Time: 1 minute
  • Duration: 4 hours

While you cast this ritual, choose yourself or an ally. You turn the target invisible to sight and silences any noises they might make for the duration. If the target attacks another creature or takes damage the invisibility breaks. (Invisibility can also be countered by common items like bags of flour or closed doors)

Corpse Candle

A ghostly, candlebearing hand lights the way, revealing hidden and ethereal creatures and objects

  • Level: 5
  • Category: Divination
  • Component Cost: 205 gp
  • Market Price: 1025 gp
  • Casting Time: 1 minute
  • Duration: 1 hour

You hold out a piece of flesh before you, and as you concentrate on your desired ritual effect, the flesh dissolves into nothingness. Nearby, in the place of your choosing, a severed hand appears bearing a lit candle. The ghostly hand carries a lit candle that sheds light in a 5-foot radius. You can move the hand at the beginning of your turn as you desire—forward or back, up or down, straight or around corners—up to 50 feet per round. Directing the candle is a free action. The hand and candle are incorporeal and can pass through objects. A corpse candle illuminates hidden, invisible beings and items, all of which become faintly visible as wispy outlines. Illuminated incorporeal and invisible creatures do not benefit from concealment, and so attacks against them suffer no attack penalty

The hand cannot be attacked or damaged, though dispel magic and similar rituals can dispel it. The hand winks out if the distance between you and it exceeds 60'.

Detect Monsters

In all honesty sometimes it's easier to just smell these creatures

  • Level: 5
  • Category: Divination
  • Component Cost: 205 gp
  • Market Price: 1025 gp
  • Casting Time: 1 minute
  • Duration: 1 hour

When you cast the ritual, specify a particular kind of monster, such as a beholder or dragon. Until the end of the duration, you can detect whether that particular kind of monster is within a 5 times your Arcana check feet of you. Furthermore, you get a "getting warmer" or "getting colder" feeling for the nearest specimen of that type of monster.

As a standard action you may change what kind of monster the ritual detects. You may also broadly specify "All monster" to detect any immortals near you.

Lead and Divination

Just half an inch of lead plating or covering is capable of blocking any divination effect from passing through. To determine if a divination effect would be blocked, draw a line from the caster of the ritual to the area being surveyed - if it passes through lead, the effect is blocked. One square foot of half inch lead plating costs one gold.

Detect Wards

You can see the layout of the abjurations before you

  • Level: 5
  • Category: Divination
  • Component Cost: 205 gp
  • Market Price: 1025 gp
  • Casting Time: 1 minute
  • Duration: 4 hours

For the duration of the ritual you gain the ability to see any abjuration magic in your line of sight. Any abjuration magic with an arcana result lower than yours emits an aura that is visible even if the enchanted object is not directly visible. Furthermore, as a standard action you can analyze any abjurations you see to understand their function, which includes any possible triggers and the results of those triggers.

False Gravity

Your ally begins cartwheels on the ceiling, because why not

  • Level: 5
  • Category: Travel
  • Component Cost: 205 gp
  • Market Price: 1025 gp
  • Casting Time: 1 minutes
  • Duration: 1 hour

When you cast this ritual, choose yourself or an ally to be the subject. The subject of this ritual can travel on any solid surface as though that surface possessed its own gravity. For example, the subject could walk or even run up a wall as though the wall were a perfectly level floor. The subject can switch “down” as often as it likes during the ritual’s duration, though only once per round, as a free action. Unattended objects fall, as normal

The subject of false gravity can fly by choosing a solid surface and letting itself fall through the air toward it. A character “flying” in this fashion moves at 30 feet per round and can make one turn, in any direction, once per round, by redefining its personal gravity. A creature falling in this fashion loses all “downward” momentum when it changes its gravity.

Find Creature

It's kinda cheating if you ask "Where is Waldo"

  • Level: 5
  • Category: Divination
  • Component Cost: 205 gp
  • Market Price: 1025 gp
  • Casting Time: 10 minutes
  • Duration: Instantaneous

When you use this ritual choose either a specific individual or a general type of individual, such as a sivis postmaster, either of which you must be familiar with. When you complete the ritual you learn where either the creature is or the nearest example of that creature based on your Arcana check. If you pick a general type of creature you may designate specific objects you already know about to ignore for the "nearest example" result.

Find Creature Arcana Check
Result Specificity
10 or lower Abstract location (eg Sharn)
11-15 General location (eg The Cogs)
16-19 Specific location (Eg a specific building)
20 or higher Exact location (Eg sitting in a chair in a specific room)

Hand of Fate

A ghostly hand appears to give you basic guidance

  • Level: 5
  • Category: Divination
  • Component Cost: 205 gp
  • Market Price: 1025 gp
  • Casting Time: 10 minutes
  • Duration: 10 minutes

When you perform the ritual, ask up to three questions about possible courses of action. A translucent blue hand appears and indicates with a gesture what the most rewarding course of action is. If you describe courses of action that refer to directions or specific objects, then the hand points toward the choice that bears the greatest reward. If you ask the hand, “Should we head down the stairs or through the doors?” then the hand responds by pointing either to the stairs or the doors. If you ask the hand, “Which of these three levers should we pull first?” then the hand responds by pointing to a lever.

If you describe only a single course of action, the ritual assumes that inaction is your other option. The hand either beckons you (to indicate that you should proceed) or gestures for you to halt. For example, the question “Should we explore the ruins of Solitronia?” results in the hand either beckoning you or gesturing for you to halt.

The hand can’t assess events in the far future; its judgment extends only to likely events in the next hour. If the hand can’t indicate a preference, the ritual has no effect and expends no components.

There are two drawbacks to using the ritual to aid your decisions. First, fate values rewards over risk, and this ritual provides guidance accordingly. It points you toward a high risk, high reward option before pointing you toward a low risk, low reward alternative. For example, if one tunnel leads to a dragon and great wealth and the other tunnel leads back to town, then the hand points toward the dragon. However, a high risk, low reward alternative is considered less rewarding than a low risk, low reward option.

Second, the hand can choose only the most rewarding course of action relative to the alternatives provided. That doesn’t mean that the indicated choice is necessarily a good idea, only that it’s a better idea than the other options you’ve indicated. In the example above, if all three levers activate traps, then the hand points toward the lever that triggers a trap less lethal than the others.

Hasal's Major Sensor

The upgraded sensor makes it's as good as if you were physically there

  • Level: 5
  • Category: Divination
  • Component Cost: 205 gp
  • Market Price: 1025 gp
  • Casting Time: 5 minutes
  • Duration: Varies

You place an invisible sensor in a location. This sensor can float in the air or stick to an object, moving with the object if the object moves. The duration of the sensor is based on your Arcana check result.

Hasal's Greater Sensor Arcana Check
Result Duration Vision
10 or lower 8 hours Normal
11-15 24 hours Low-light
16-19 48 hours Darvision 30'
20 or higher 72 hours Darkvision 60', Keen Smell

Wherever you are, you can see, hear, smell, and effectively project yourself to the location of the sensor a free action. You have limited freedom of movement (no more than 5') but can examine in detail anything within that range. This does allow you to touch objects to feel their texture, however you cannot interact or exert force on anything in the area. The sensor can see through magical darkness or pierce other sense-depriving magical effects with an Arcana check lower than the one used for this ritual.

Leomund's Instant Feast

You conjure a great big hearty feast for all to partake

  • Level: 5
  • Category: Accomodation
  • Component Cost: 205 gp
  • Market Price: 1025 gp
  • Casting Time: 15 minutes
  • Duration: Instantaneous

You conjure a feast that can feed up to 12 creatures. The feast gives advantage on any endurance checks made in the next 24 hours, restores 1 healing surge, and counts as a full day's worth of meals to anyone who partakes. Eating the feast takes 1 hour.

Myssia's Lesser Scrying

This one's a bit more risque to use on a bathhouse

  • Level: 5
  • Category: Divination
  • Component Cost: 205 gp
  • Market Price: 1025 gp
  • Casting Time: 1 minute
  • Duration: 1 hour

Choose a location you are familiar with. For the duration of the ritual, you can see as if you were in that location. You can focus in on anything you hear, but you cannot move from the point you are sensing from. (Still roll Arcana to determine interactions with any anti-divination magic)

Reshape Metal

You turn a pile of scrap metal into a neat stack of new blades

  • Level: 5
  • Category: Creation
  • Component Cost: 205 gp
  • Market Price: 1025 gp
  • Casting Time: 10 minutes
  • Duration: Instantaneous

You reshape a chunk of metal with size based on your Arcana check into any shape of your choice. You can discard material to be left aside but not create it.

Reshape Metal Arcana Check
Result Size
10 or lower 5' cube
11-15 10' cube
16-19 25' cube
20 or higher 50' cube

Revivify

There's a big difference between totally dead and mostly dead

  • Level: 5
  • Category: Restoration
  • Component Cost: 205 gp
  • Market Price: 1025 gp
  • Casting Time: 1 minute
  • Duration: Instantaneous

You touch a creature that has died within the last 15 minutes. That creature returns to life with 1 hit point. This ritual can't return to life a creature that has died of old age, nor can it restore any missing body parts.

Safe Clearing

You move shrub and tree to set up a forest barricade

  • Level: 5
  • Category: Abjuration
  • Component Cost: 205 gp
  • Market Price: 1025 gp
  • Casting Time: 10 minutes
  • Duration: Instantaneous

You make a 50' radius area safe from attacks. Any creature attempting to strike or otherwise directly attack anyone within the safe clearing, or any creature attempting to enter the area, must make a Charisma check against a DC equal to your Arcana check result. Success means the creature can act normally and is not affected by this casting of the ritual. Failure means it can’t attack anyone in the area or even enter the area for the duration of the ritual. Those not attempting to attack creatures in the warded area remain unaffected. This ritual does not prevent creatures in the warded area from being attacked or affected by area attacks.

A creature within the area that makes an attack is no longer protected by the ritual, and can be targeted normally

Symbol of Sealing

Even without a door you can conjure a barricade

  • Level: 5
  • Category: Abjuration
  • Component Cost: 205 gp
  • Market Price: 1025 gp
  • Casting Time: 1 minute
  • Duration: Varies

You inscribe a symbol on an entryway, conjuring a barrier of force that bars creatures from traveling. You and the creatures you designate when you cast this ritual can pass through normally. You can also set a password that, when spoken within 5 feet of the object, suppresses this ritual for 1 minute. Otherwise, it is impassable until it is broken or the ritual is dispelled or suppressed.

While affected by this ritual, the entryway is more difficult to break or force open, increasing the Strength DC by 10.

Symbol of Sealing Arcana Check
Result Duration
10 or lower 1 hour
11-15 3 hours
16-19 8 hours
20 or higher 24 hours

Unseen Entourage

A dozen helpers spring to your aid for whatever you need done

  • Level: 5
  • Category: Accomodation
  • Component Cost: 205 gp
  • Market Price: 1025 gp
  • Casting Time: 10 minutes
  • Duration: Until you fall unconscious or dismiss the servants

You conjure up to a dozen Medium unseen servants of invisible force. They obey your commands, move at your speed, can lift up to 500 pounds, and performs basic functions and repetitive tasks, such as cleaning, making camp, and moving, holding, or carrying objects.

An unseen servant never tires. It cannot move more than 100' from your position. It does not occupy any space and cannot attack or be attacked. You may only have one unseen servant at a time from this ritual

Focus: A ceramic hand. The person who holds this focus is empowered to command any unseen servants summoned with it. If the focus is broken or not in anyone's possession for a minute or longer, all unseen servants bound to it disappear and any items they were holding are dropped.

Vylae's Major Image

The giant tiger is so lifelike even the Undead can get confused by the real heat and warmth of the illusion

  • Level: 5
  • Category: Deception
  • Component Cost: 205 gp
  • Market Price: 1025 gp
  • Casting Time: 1 minute
  • Duration: 3 hours

You create the image of an object, a creature, or some other visible phenomenon that is no larger than a 15-foot cube. The image appears at a spot within range and lasts for the duration. The image can make sounds ranging from a whisper to a roar, have any smell, and even give off heat and warmth just short of actual combustion or freezing water.

You can use a standard action to cause the image to move to any spot within range. As the image changes location, you can alter its appearance so that its movements appear natural for the image. For example, if you create an image of a creature and move it, you can alter the image so that it appears to be walking.

Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it. A creature that uses a standard action to examine the image can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Insight check against your Arcana check result. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the creature can see through the image.

Level 6

Animate Dead Rank 1

The Undead rise at your command

  • Level: 6
  • Category: Creation
  • Component Cost: 310 gp
  • Market Price: 1550 gp
  • Casting Time: 15 minutes
  • Duration: 24 hours

You reanimate a target corpse to unlife. Your Arcana check result determines what kinds of undead you can reanimate (results are cumulutive)

Animate Undead Arcana Check
Result Type of Undead
10 or lower Skeleton
11-15 Zombie
16-19 Wraith
20 or higher Wight

The undead you animate are under your control for the duration. When the duration expires, the undead remain in existence but are freed from your control.

Alternatively, you can cast this ritual to gain control of an uncontrolled undead or refresh control of an undead you already control. You may target up to 5 undead of a type eligible based on your Arcana check result when you use the ritual in this fashion.

Dailan's Seeing: Auras

The world flares in color as the magic around you becomes visible

  • Level: 6
  • Category: Divination
  • Component Cost: 310 gp
  • Market Price: 1550 gp
  • Casting Time: 10 minutes
  • Duration: 8 hours

When you cast this ritual, choose yourself or an ally. The target gains the ability to clearly see and identify any aura effects that have a lower Arcana check result than the one you made for this ritual, and can see creatures that have an aura with an Arcana check that is up to 10 higher than yours. Auras include persistent magical effects like extraplanar and magical influences like enchantment or possessions.

Detect Thoughts

The thoughts of those around you bubble to the surface.

  • Level: 6
  • Category: Divination
  • Component Cost: 310 gp
  • Market Price: 1550 gp
  • Casting Time: 1 minute
  • Duration: 1 hour

For the duration, you can read the thoughts of certain creatures. When you cast the ritual and as your action on each turn until the ritual ends, you can focus your mind on any one creature that you can see within 30 feet of you. If the creature you choose has an Intelligence of 3 or lower or doesn't speak any language, the creature is unaffected.

You initially learn the surface thoughts of the creature--what is most on its mind in that moment. As an action, you can either shift your attention to another creature's thoughts or attempt to probe deeper into the same creature's mind. If you probe deeper, the target must make a Wisdom saving throw. If it fails, you gain insight into its reasoning (if any), its emotional state, and something that looms large in its mind (such as something it worries over, loves, or hates). If it succeeds, the ritual ends. Either way, the target knows that you are probing into its mind, and unless you shift your attention to another creature's thoughts, the creature can use its action on its turn to make an Intelligence check contested by your Intelligence check; if it succeeds, the ritual ends.

Questions verbally directed at the target creature naturally shape the course of its thoughts, so this ritual is particularly effective as part of an interrogation.

You can also use this ritual to detect the presence of thinking creatures you can't see. When you cast the ritual or as your action during the duration, you can search for thoughts within 30 feet of you. The ritual can penetrate barriers, but 2 feet of rock, 2 inches of any metal other than lead, or a thin sheet of lead blocks you. You can't detect a creature with an Intelligence of 3 or lower or one that doesn't speak any language.

Once you detect the presence of a creature in this way, you can read its thoughts for the rest of the duration as described above, even if you can't see it, but it must still be within range.

A large block of lumber appears to serve your needs

  • Level: 6

Ethereal Stable, Aquatic

Magic Circle: Immortal

Good for angels and fiends

  • Level: 6
  • Category: Abjuration
  • Component Cost: 310 gp
  • Market Price: 1550 gp
  • Casting Time: 10 minutes
  • Duration: 24 hours

You draw a 10-foot-radius circle on the ground which creates a 20-foot-tall cylinder of magical energy. Choose inwards or outwards - the circle has the following effects when an immortal or its attacks cross the circle in the chosen direction

  • The creature cannot willingly cross the circle boundary by nonmagical means. They must succeed on an Arcana check with a DC equal to your check result to suceed via magical means.
  • The creature has disadvantage on attacks that cross the circle boundary.

Myssia's Greater Scrying

A more complete surveillance package

  • Level: 6
  • Category: Divination
  • Component Cost: 310 gp
  • Market Price: 1550 gp
  • Casting Time: 1 minute
  • Duration: 1 hour

Choose a location you are familiar with. For the duration of the ritual, you can see and hear as if you were in that location. You can focus in on any sounds you hear, but you cannot move from the point you are sensing from. (Still roll Arcana to determine interactions with any anti-divination magic)

Polymorph: Object

You transform an object or creature into an inanimate object

  • Level: 6
  • Category: Deception (Polymorph)
  • Component Cost: 310 gp
  • Market Price: 1550 gp
  • Casting Time: 10 minutes
  • Duration: 24 hours

You transform a creature or object into a nonmagical object for the duration. You may choose what inanimate object the target transforms into, however it must be the same size (Small, Medium, Large, etc.) as the target.

If you transform a creature rather than an object, the creature remains aware of its surroundings but cannot move or interact. You may choose whether the creature can end the effect early - if you decide it cannot, the creature must win a contested Arcana result. The target can only attempt to break the effect early once per hour.

Rope Trick

Good for strategic rests

  • Level: 6
  • Category: Accomodation
  • Component Cost: 310 gp
  • Market Price: 1550 gp
  • Casting Time: 1 minute
  • Duration: 1 hour

You touch a length of rope that is up to 60 feet long. One end of the rope then rises into the air until the whole rope hangs perpendicular to the ground. At the upper end of the rope, an invisible entrance opens to an extradimensional space that lasts until the ritual ends.

The extradimensional space can be reached by climbing to the top of the rope. The space can hold as many as eight Medium or smaller creatures. The rope can be pulled into the space, making the rope disappear from view outside the space.

Attacks and rituals can't cross through the entrance into or out of the extradimensional space, but those inside can see out of it as if through a 3-foot-by-5- foot window centered on the rope.

Anything inside the extradimensional space drops out when the ritual ends.

Shenta's Flying Disk

A stronger, more accomodating disk

  • Level: 6
  • Category: Accomodation
  • Component Cost: 310 gp
  • Market Price: 1550 gp
  • Casting Time: 1 minute
  • Duration: 8 hours

You create a circular, horizontal plane of force, 4 feet in diameter and 1 inch thick, that normally floats 3 feet above the ground in an unoccupied space of your choice that you can see within range. The disk can hold a number of pounds equal to eighty times your Arcana check result.

The disk is immobile while you are within 20 feet of it. If you move more than 20 feet away from it, the disk follows you so that it remains within 20 feet of you. The disk will float and fly in the air to follow you, crossing pits or other such obstacles. If you move more than 100 feet from the disk (typically because it can’t move around an obstacle to follow you), the ritual ends.
