Casting tablets and ritual spells

Games Discussion Ars Magica

I posted a step by step guide to tablets some time ago:

And a detailed example:

  1. See step 3: the author of the tablet decides if he wants to include the ceremonial casting bonus. This is natural for a ritual spell, but not obligatory.

  2. I would use only the Fatigue from the tablet, but as long term Fatigue for Ritual spells. Tablets have a fixed penetration, which is included in the Fatigue determination (see step 8 ). Yes, this may result in lower Fatigue if the penetration of the tablet is 15 or less, but you can get Warping.
