   * The base difficulty for casting a ritual is two plus rank. That means the base difficulty of a Ritual of Knowledge is three, for a Ritual of Creation it’s seven. Should the ritual have a different difficulty scaling (like rituals interacting with the Gauntlet or the Shroud) then the base difficulty is two points lower than the base difficulty of an equivalent miracle.   * The base difficulty for casting a ritual is two plus rank.

-The effect of a ritual can be delayed in the same way as the effect of a miracle, by increasing the difficulty by one. Please note that delayed miracles and rituals both count towards the same limit of delayed effects that can be maintained simultaneously. +The effect of a ritual can be delayed in the same way as the effect of a miracle, by increasing the difficulty by one.

   - In order to proceed the Fallen involved in the creation process need to possess all Lores necessary to cast the ritual at the required rank among them. However, no demon needs to know all the necessary Lore by themselves.   - In order to proceed the Fallen involved in the creation process need to possess all Lores necessary to cast the ritual at the required rank among them.

-  - The creation process is handled as an extended roll. If multiple demons are involved in the creation process, then each of them can contribute successes, as long as they possess at least one of the necessary Lores at the required rank. The pool for ritual creation is Intelligence + Occult, the difficulty is eight, and the target number of successes is ten plus twice the rank of the ritual (so a Ritual of Knowledge requires twelve successes, a Ritual of Exaltation sixteen, etc.). The rolling interval is one day. The first botch introduces flaws into the ritual formula that need to be corrected before the ritual can be used. This increases the target number of successes by two. Should a second botch occur then the ritual formula becomes unsalvageable. The creation process fails and has to be started anew. +  - The creation of the ritual takes one week per level of the ritual. There is no roll necessary. A single written copy of the ritual is created at the end of the creation process (although more can be created later). The medium of this copy needs to be provided by the authors. All demons involved in the creation process may immediately learn it at the usual cost.
