Default Re: [RPM] Post your rituals here

Here are a few more rituals:

Release the Lock
Spell Effects: Lesser Strengthen Crossroads.
Inherent Modifiers: None.
Greater Effects: 0 (×1).

This spell can unlock simple, mundane locks. The final casting roll (not the energy gathering rolls) takes the typical modifiers for lock quality as well as a -5 penalty if the caster lacks training in the Lockpicking skill. Mundane lockpicking tools are not required.

This Casting: Lesser Strengthen Crossroads (3). 3 energy (3×1).


Banish
Spell Effects: Greater Destroy Crossroads.
Inherent Modifiers: Subject Weight + Duration.
Greater Effects: 1 (×3).

The subject of this spell must succeed at a Quick Contest of the better of HT or Will at a -5 penalty versus the caster's skill or be banished back to whichever dimension or plane they came from and be anchored there for the next month. If the subject is not an extra-dimensional being, they are not affected.

This Casting: Greater Destroy Crossroads (5) + Bestows A Penalty, -5 (16) + Subject Weight, 5 tons (6) + Range, 100 yds (10) + Duration, 1 month (11). 144 energy (48×3).

---

After making Banish, I wondered something - would the Bestows a Penalty, -5 to the subject's resistance come before or after the Rule of 16 came into effect? IE, would the Bestows a Penalty modifier be of any use at all to a mage whose skill already outshines the target's defenses if they have HT or Will in the 20s?
