How about the ancient lost lore of the "Create Plot Device" Ritual?
Besides that, I could see more 'epic' versions of mortal spells and rituals. Meteor Swarm in 4E is pretty tame; Widening the effect to encompass a city is not so tame.

I don't know whether this is a thing of beauty or evil.

Interestingly, 4E doesn't use Rituals for attacking, though certainly you would think thats how something like the Rain of Colourless Fire and Invoked Devastation would be handled. I don't forsee Rituals accomplishing damaging effects, but certainly extensions of those effects (such as area of effect or range etc.) make for interesting plot devices.
Meteor Swarm is pretty lame, of course its not a patch on the likes of Eruption from the Fire Portfolio.
Abjuration - Obscure Realm
Transmutation - Alter Physics

Been thinking that it might be interesting to have Rituals linked to portfolios that Worshippers could call upon. As well as possibly Rituals whereby a God can draw power from its worshippers.

Examples would be helpful for discussing the merits of the Portfolio-linked rituals, but the latter idea is an obvious thing for an Evil deity to get. I'd be shocked if they didn't all know something like that in fact- what else is an army of mewling sycophants good for, to an ultra-super-villain?

How about either in instigating or averting natural disasters: Earthquake, Volcanic Eruption, Tidal Wave, Plague, Drought, Famine.

Pawns can always be useful, especially for dealing with your opponent's pawns.
