Mad Waste Sacred Soil
This soils anti-magic properties can be very useful for some rituals.
The Mad Wastes of the Dell disrupt magic, and yet those very properties can prove beneficial when carefully applied. Using just any soil from the Mad Wastes is foolish however, it will either prove to be not effective enough or too effective, altering the magic being performed in unpredictable ways. Instead care must be taken to learn from the tribes who live there and only use the correct soils. Often this means speaking to the shamans of these Dellan tribes and earning their trust.

Ritual Components
There are a wide variety of ritual components. Basic ritual components are any component from the seven school of magic. These are the most commonly used ones for standard game rituals. Other components are known as special ritual components. Special ritual components, such as Dragon's Blood or Ghost Stones, cannot ever be replaced by other items or powers, you must use the exact item called for. Generally special ritual components are required for custom plots or very rare rituals.
To recognize ritual components requires the identify magic skill. Ritual components are consumed when used to perform a ritual.
Potions and scrolls of spells from the same school can be used to replace a ritual component, counting as the school the items come from.

| 1 | 10 potions or scrolls of the same school |
| 2 | 8 potions or scrolls of the same school |
| 3 | 6 potions or scrolls of the same school |
| 4 | 4 potions or scrolls of the same school |
| 5 | 2 potions or scrolls of the same school |
