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.
The quantity of items required to count as a single ritual component is based on the following chart:
| Level of potion or scroll | Quantity |
|---|---|
| 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 |
Language Skills
The language skill allow a character to read, speak, and write in one single chosen language. This skill can be taken more than once, and each time a character takes this skill they may select one language to learn. You can find information on the languages in the game here.
Common languages may be learned without a tutor and can be taken by starting characters freely. Characters who wish to be illiterate are welcome to do so voluntarily with any languages they feel is appropriate to do so with.
Uncommon languages are not actively spoken in the world. Characters learn uncommon languages? through the scholar roleplaying skill.
Rare languages must have plot marshal approval (from Ryan Green) and require a special tutor to learn or can be acquired through long term advancement in the scholar roleplaying skill. A player who knows a rare language cannot teach another player that language, only certain special npcs are capable of passing on these languages.
The language of the druids can only be learned through druid skills.
Characters who have learned a language may request the key from logistics to translate that language on props.
