New rituals and some freshly errata'd ones from before;


I Prepared Explosive Runes Today (or "Uh-oh! Looks like you clicked the wrong square!")
Spell Effect: Greater Create Energy + Lesser Control Magic + Lesser Sense Mind.
Inherent Modifiers: Damage, External Explosive Burning.
Greater Effects: 1 (x3).

This spell is cast as a charm on a piece of paper with writing on it, which is then usually folded up for safety reasons. When anyone reads the writing on the paper charm, it triggers the spell to create an fiery explosion with the paper as its 'point of impact' (ground zero). The explosion's damage is 4d burning.
See B104 and B414 for rules on explosions.

Typical Casting: Greater Create Energy (6) + Damage, External Explosive Burning 4d (4) + Lesser Control Magic (5) + Lesser Sense Mind (2). 51 energy (17x3).


Kill Switch
Spell Effect: Lesser Destroy Magic.
Inherent Modifiers: Meta-Magic.
Greater Effects: 0 (x1).

This spell cancels one of your charms, elixirs and conditional rituals that has yet to be triggered/consumed/reach terminal condition/broken/whatever. The spell deactivates harmlessly, just like it was the oldest one 'hung' and you just made a new one when you were at your limit (see Ritual Path Magic page 25 and 30). This spell is resisted by the target spell's casting Path skill and requires extra energy equal to the targeted spell's cost (see Ritual Path Magic page 24).
Targeting another mage's conditional magic requires a resistance roll against the casting Path skill, and probably modifiers for Range to the caster.

Typical Casting: Lesser Destroy Magic (5) + Meta-Magic (X). 5+X energy (5+Xx1).


Review the Soul
Spell Effect: Lesser Sense Magic.
Inherent Modifiers: None.
Greater Effects: 0 (x1).

This spell reminds you the details of all your currently 'hung' magic, including conditional rituals, charms and elixirs - including what triggers the conditional rituals have ("Snapping your fingers and saying this Latin phrase will trigger the Circle of Death spell..."), what general effects they all have ("This spell allows the caster to read a person's mind..."), in what order they were prepared ("The seventh conditional ritual is Great Healing...") and what each charm and elixir looks like ("The paper crane is for the Fireball spell..."). It does not tell you the physical location of a charm or elixir. It doesn't tell you the energy cost of each spell. It doesn't tell you when any of them were prepared. Casting this on another caster requires a resistance roll and probably modifiers like Range and Area of Effect.

Typical Casting: Lesser Sense Magic (2). 2 energy (2x1).


Edit the Preparations
Spell Effect: Lesser Control Magic + Lesser Transform Magic.
Inherent Modifiers: Meta-Magic.
Greater Effects: 0 (x1).

This spell repurposes or redirects ONE conditional spell (hung ritual, charm or elixir) of the subject (the caster or touched by the caster by default) - different effect (I.e. healing HP instead of healing FP) within the same category (I.e. Lesser Restore Body), different Path or category (i.e. Lesser Destroy Body to Lesser Destroy Magic or Lesser Destroy Body to Lesser Restore Body ), different trigger, different subject, different modifiers, etc. If the changes would increase the cost of the targeted ritual, the caster must supply the extra energy herself as part of casting THIS spell and a Lesser Strengthen Magic effect is needed as well. If the changes instead lower the cost of the spell, the reductions in targeted ritual's cost would NOT reduce the cost of casting THIS spell and a Lesser Destroy Magic effect is needed as well. Dispelling the magic altogether is outside the ability of this spell.
The subject would not naturally know their conditional spell has been tampered with, save by the usual means (I.e. a Lesser Sense Magic ritual). The targeted magic resists with the casting Path skill.
See Ritual Path Magic page 24 for notes on Meta-Magic.

Typical Casting: Lesser Control Magic (5) + Lesser Transform Magic (8) + Meta-Magic (X). X+13 energy (X+13x1).


Neck Breaker
Spell Effects: Lesser Destroy Body + Lesser Control Magic.
Inherent Modifiers: Damage, Internal Crushing
Greater Effects: 0 (x1).

This conditional ritual allows the caster to trigger with a word and a gesture, twisting the neck bones of the subject (within 10 yards, 3d+1 crushing damage, x1.5 wounding modifier for hit location, DR from rigid armour and natural advantages (not Tough Skin) protect against this damage normally) and breaking it if it's fatal. The ritual is resisted.

Typical Casting: Lesser Destroy Body (5) + Lesser Control Magic (5) + Damage, Internal Crushing 3d+1 (Selective Effect, +20%) (13) + Range, 10 yards (4) + Subject Weight, 300 lbs. (3). 30 energy (30x1).
