Before the foundation of coupling was created those who brought order to the chaos of the void had to handle their work alone. Throughout the centuries magic has been practiced, the art of coming together to do amazing feats of thaumaturgy has been refined into the art known today as Voidal Rituals.
Overview
Voidal Ritual is the art of combining the power of multiple mages to achieve great efforts and feats. These can range from conjuring a very powerful spell to strike down large and devastating creatures to forging powerful artifacts and tools. This lore is intended to give mages the freedom of doing powerful free form spells and enchantments with moderate control by the Story Team.
Voidal Rituals do not take up a magic slot.
Voidal Rituals can be done by [2] or more characters with a valid [MA] in voidal magic.
Combative Voidal Rituals require pre-approval from the LT or from the ET overseeing an event in order to work.
Learning and Ritual Process
Any mage can band together with another to achieve a great feat. Rituals have been common knowledge for centuries and once shown how to participate in one a mage may lead or participate in these rituals.
There are two types of Rituals. You have Empowerment which is the act of doing a ritual to create a raw and primal spell of great power which requires some basic reagents. Then there is Infusion which is the act of doing a ritual to forge a powerful item or relic using a tool known as an ‘Infusion Altar’.

Infusion Ritual [N] - A ritual in which a group of magi set up an infusion altar and come together to create a powerful relic. This ritual requires one leader who will forge the magic that will be imbued into the relic and one participant who will lend their mana to the spell. There is no limit to how many may participate in an Infusion Ritual. Of course since this is a form of Enchanting the leader of the ritual must be able to Enchant.

Purpose
Circling Magic was a very fun way for mages to work together however the freedom of the abilities went unchecked and a lot of mages, yes including myself, abused it to one shot event creatures, so forth. I am reintroducing it to work together with the story team for freedom but with the approval of the ST running the event or the ST team. Adding in the Infusion Ritual also allows mages to create interesting items using existing voidal lore and the MArT system.
