Rituals

Rituals were developed during the age of dreaming to expand the capacity of magic as the addiction to dreaming surged across the dream cradle. At its core, ritual revolves around persuasion of the Dream through exchange or sacrifice, to push the boundaries of possibility and control.

Meditation
The most basic form of ritual revolves around meditation, and requires nothing other than time and a soul. In the context of magic, meditation is used to prepare magic to be used with greater convenience or more quickly. This could involve casting a partial spell to hold and complete later, or to react instantaneously to situations with prepared magic.
