Ritual based magic

Rituals are the most widely spread and most often used application of magical energies. Any magical actions which take either, a significant time, have a material component or can not be done by a single individual. If any or all these criteria are applicable it is called a ritual.
They range from the production of masterpieces in the arts to infusing magic in crafted items and to simple things like bettering crops and blessings for cattle as well as family and friends.
