Default [RPM] Great Casting

Hey, y'all. I don't know if anyone else has ever done this before, but I came up with a new trait for Ritual Path Magery to kind of emulate the "Slow and Sure" method of enchantment for the production of big spells. This is for when you really need to make one big charm to take down the big bad guy.

Great Casting

Prerequisite: Ritual Adept

The Ritual Adept may gain even more power by taking extra time. By taking 5 minutes per gathering roll in a consecrated space with the subject present, the RPM mage may spend 1 CP to gain +8 to all casting rolls for a single ritual.

Statistics: Magery +8 + Natural Caster +8 (CP Powered, Ritual Adept Alternative Ability), 8 points.

You'd be better of with Improved Cap 8 [8] + Natural Caster 8 (Accessibility, Casting only, -20%; Alternate Ability, x1/5 pts; Costs Character Points, x1/5 pts) [4] for 12 points.

You could also use Control Magic from Pyramid #3/66 to give you a bonus to rolls.

Improved Cap 8?!

Not a bad idea! It simply didn't occur to me to have that many levels of a perk!

RPM Magery is just Energy Reserve 3 [3] + Improved Path Skill Cap [1]. You can have that perk separate if you want. So it makes sense to do what you want using it vs. more magery.
