To cast a ritual cast you must spend 1/25 of this base price in XP and use up raw materials costing half of this base price.   The ritual casting takes 1 day for every 1000 gp in base price, with a minimum of 1 day.  These cost are incurred even if the casting has failed.Ritual Casting has many of the same restrictions and requirements as casting a spell from a scroll.  To have any chance of ritual casting you must meet the following requirements:1) The source of the spell must be of the correct type (arcane or divine). Arcane spellcasters cannot cast divine spells from a scroll, nor can divine spellcasters cast arcane spells in this manner.2) The user must have the spell on his or her class list.3) The user must have the requisite ability score</blockquote>
