(most times you cast water walk, it seems like the party has 10 minutes to spare)  I was thinking about taking the Ritual Caster feat and choosing "cleric" as the class.  How would you handle transcribing a prepared cleric spell (with the ritual tag, obviously) into the ritual book?Rules as written suggest I'd have to find someone else's ritual book to copy it, or find a spell scroll.  But I've never even heard of players finding a cleric ritual book among loot because clerics don't have spell books. And have you seriously ever encountered a spell scroll for something like Augury? It's looking like I'll have to do it myself.So again, rules as written seem to suggest I'd have to final a formula for how to write an Augury spell scroll as loot, which would be a rare to legendary magical item. Then I'd have to spend the time and gold making the scroll. And then finally I could transcribe the scroll I just made into the ritual book, consuming the scroll.  Is that the intended method?  It seems like requiring a formula for a scroll, and then having the scroll production be so time consuming and costly is probably in large part because scrolls allow non-casters to cast spells.  That's not at all my intent, but rules as written I'm not seeing another path.  What do you guys think?  I was going to pitch to my DM that transcribing a ritual spell to the book requires half the time and gold of creating an equivalent spell scroll, and doesn't require a formula, but otherwise is treated the same as producing a scroll.</blockquote>
