Instead it's meant, I think, to supplement those characters when axes and thievery skill fails. It allows a wizard to essentially substitute Arcana for Thievery all without using a feat. I agree that the rituals lack flavor and that some of the rituals are less than useful in most situations, but while those are valid criticisms for some rituals I don't think you can dismiss the entire idea of rituals because a few aren't up to snuff. That's like saying man weapons are useless in this game because the dagger only does 1d4 damage. You have to look at rituals as a whole and I think in general the idea is sound. A few rituals just need a little tweaking is all.</blockquote>
