[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 7397457, member: 2629"] It essentially does exist. All you need to do are switch up the casting times on some spells, adjust the spell lists (to avoid offensive spells) and add a few new spells to the game. Mechanically speaking, this is very close to the existing system. Wizards essentially get a number of slots equal to their level. They're not all for 1st or second level spells, but the different between a 5th level and 1st level spell in 5E is not as great as people make it out to be. What is the difference between Tasha's and Hold Monster? Between Charm Person and Dominate Person? For some uses, there are no real differences, although for other uses there is a substantial difference. There is a ritual system in 5E that meets your needs, but it just doesn't have those higher level powerful rituals you crave, like the nightmare for an entire village or raising an undead army. Just add those spells to the game. If a spell is too strong for you to allow it to be cast as one action, either change the casting time and make it a ritual, or remove it from the spell list. Then add a few spells to fill gaps that are high level rituals. Done. [/QUOTE]
