Ritual Magic systems?

[d20Dwarf]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me some of the d20 books that had ritual magic systems in them? I don't care if they're settings, splatbooks, or whatnot, we're just looking for some systems to compare.

Thanks!

Spellbound was solely dedicated to ritual magic. Relics & Rituals I has a ritual magic system, as does Secrets of Pact Magic. In both, ritual magic is fairly time consuming, though anything less arguably wouldn't be ritual magic.

Thanks!

Anyone got any others? I know there were some out there.

The Blue Rose Companion apparently has some.

I've never had the fortune to look at it, but it's right there in the description.

There are also rituals called Incantations in Unearthed Arcana:

Yes but they only give two examples and fall very short on making it usable. There isn't really a system behind it. Rituals and Relics I've got and I think it's fairly good.

Apart from those things mentioned. . .

Occult Lore, under 'Sympathetic Magic'.

The Thieves' World Player's Manual has 'ritualcasting', which is basically just an extension of spellcasting. Mind you, spellcasting itself is a bit different there, too.

The Medieval Player's Manual, under 'Theurgy'.

Elements of Magic: Mythic Earth allows for rituals, IIRC.

If you're not adverse to looking further back than 3x, there was an excellent RoleAids box set called Arch-Magic produced for AD&D that includes rules for powerful ritual magic (the likes of which evil sorcerers in Conan stories would likely indulge in).

Yes, that one is a gem. Mine's buried in an RPG box somewhere in the basement or storage facility.

There were some ritual magic rules in the Thieve's World Player's Manual by Green Ronin. They're tied pretty heavily to the magic system used in the book, but could be adapted or used as a starting point for your own rules easily.
