Ritual:Create Ritual Circle

Create Ritual Circle (1)

Requirements:	Thaumaturgy, Rituals 1
Cost:	none
Cast Time:	none
Notes:	This ritual is automatically gained by everyone who learns Thaumaturgy 1. It costs nothing.
Purpose:	This ritual teaches the Thaumaturge how to create the casting circles for each of the other Thaumaturgy rituals. While not a true ritual by itself, it is used by all Thaumaturgy rituals.

All circles should be made large enough for the caster to comfortably sit in the center. Each circle must be recast for each ritual. You may use a pre-made matt or board with the circle drawn, but you must still go over the circle again with each casting.

For each circle, when you create it, you should draw the circle and do whatever ritual appropriate to your character to clear your mind and prepare to cast a ritual.

A level 1 circle is just a circle large enough to sit in. Ritual Focuses should be held in the Caster’s hands.

A level 2 circle is a circle with a single line bisecting it in half. The Caster will usually sit on one side, with the Ritual Focuses on the other side of the line.

A level 3 circle is a circle with a triangle in the center, so that each point touches the outside of the circle. Ritual Focuses are places at each of the corners.

A level 4 circle is a circle with a square in the center, so that each point touches the outside of the circle. Ritual Focuses are places at each of the corners.

A level 5 circle is a circle with a pentagon in the center, so that each point touches the outside of the circle. Ritual Focuses are places at each of the corners.
