Editing Creating Magical Effects (section)

==Superhuman Ritual==

Although most humans can concentrate only for so long, therefore limiting typical rituals to a day of work at most, a mage can use magic to boost her capabilities and then perform a superhuman ritual. It's very, very risky. Failure usually obliterates the caster, as the weight of Paradox is truly phenomenal. But it can shake the world.

To perform a superhuman ritual, the mage must have a magical means of prolonging his endurance (typically though an already ritually extended Life or Mind Effect to banish or ignore fatigue), or use up to two Willpower Traits for each additional day of casting.

Each day you add extends a ritual by one grade. This addition requires the additional test and bears the risk of increased Paradox on the botch. If a given day's work is failed or interrupted, the mage needs to make up one additional day, not the whole time spend already.

Generally, rotes don't list progressions for superhuman rituals. Its up to the Storyteller to determine the exact Effect. However, many rotes have a sample progression. Therefore, a superhuman ritua might be capable of casting a spell that lasts for a year, or one that inflicts a huge amount of damage (four or more health levels) in a single strike. Of course, such EFfects can be mightily unbalancing. Its upon the Storyteller to determine what's appropriate and to disallow abusive nonsense.
