Ritual Components

[Necromancer of the West]

So you know how in alchemy, one has to search for the plants and creature products and use alchemy to process them and then using them to create said potion or elixir? Without using Ryo? Well could a few rituals be the same? It would make sense for RP reasons to have certain components for certain rituals to work. Like the Raise Dead Ritual. A few plants, charcoal, chalk, something to write the ritual circle with. Plants, gems, creature products that deal with life and death to do such thing. To me, allowing components in rituals, instead of using performance cost, as another option seems like a decent idea for those who want to RP out the rituals.

I'm keeping it as money. I really don't want to go around and adding other stuff right now. Alchemy is pretty girthy. I really don't want to go through all of the rituals we currently have and add things to them. Now some Rituals may need a special item and that special item could alter the Ritual. I can apply that which isn't a problem, however doing this will just take too much time for me.

[Necromancer of the West]

I understand. Thank you though.!

I'm not completely saying no though. Gotta keep an eye out on those differences where it says you'll need something else to make an alteration which can be beneficial.

Like hidden soul gem. I'm guessing we can role play out the ritual however we want? Of course still paying the cost

pretty much. details on casting are kept intentionally vague, so you can kind of do your own thing as long as it fits the established rules within the ritual. and pay out the cost.

if you want to be realistic about it, you could buy some kind of vague components in advance like with crafting, and limit yourself to only that pool of funds instead of accessing all of your money, but honestly that just seems like an extra step for the sake of it.
