Try sitting in your chair and wait for 1 minute. Time goes by pretty quick, and its over. Now do the same thing for 10 minutes. Its a great deal more time to just sit around and wait. That to me is a noticeable difference in my players and I. A 1 minute ritual feels like a concentrated effort of magical power that takes a bit to build up. 10 minutes is a large enough time that the rest of the group would take off the backpacks and sit down as the wizard goes through this length, intricate process.I'm fine with that for some rituals, but not as the default. But that debate is a flavor debate the majority of the time. now the cost debate, that's a whole different ballgame.</blockquote>
