[QUOTE="The Shadow, post: 6371999, member: 16760"] There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of rhyme or reason to which spells get the ritual tag. For example, the cleric spell Forbiddance gets it, yet the rather similar wizard spell Mordenkainen's Private Sanctum does not. Ritual spells are heavily clustered toward the lower levels, too. No spell above 6th level has the tag, and precious few above 3rd. (Weirdly, no 4th level spells have it, though a few 5th and 6th level ones do.) I've considered applying it much more freely, but of course this has the potential to make spellcasters, especially wizards and Tome warlocks, more powerful. Some spells would be nearly useless as rituals, of course... I can't imagine a 10 minute casting time for Fireball would be very helpful, except perhaps during a pitched battle between two armies. How do you suppose this would work: Any spell without the ritual tag can be cast as a ritual, but it's treated as one spell level higher. You must be able to cast spells of that level before you can cast it as a ritual. [/QUOTE]
