High Magic

Also known as Archritual, High Magic is used to create unique or large-scale effects beyond the scope of what "formulaic" magic would allow, or which otherwise "break the rules". It is almost universally time consuming, expensive, logistically difficult, or deeply morally questionable, and frequently several of these at once.

OOC Mechanics

The minimum requirements for using most forms of High Magic are as follows:

• Being trained in the Arcane skill
• Having a copy of the relevant ritual text, or equivalent
• Meeting all requirements specified within the specific tradition, and within the specific technique

Difficulty Categories

All forms of High Magic use a standardised set of difficulties, though the precise way in which these function depends on the magical tradition:

Category	DC
Trivial	5
Low	10
Moderate	15
High	20
