Creating magical beasties (Ritual magic)

[Brutus]

Maybe you didn't understand the issue? Let's say Jabir's rule is in effect and there is a Verditius mage who picks up Bind Magical Creatures. Now the Verditius starts creating magical creatures via rituals within some sort of a restraint, using 12 pawns per ritual. Then the Verditius uses 12 pawns worth of these creatures to provide 60 pawns for enchantment instead of just having used the 12 pawns directly. Thus this abuse is still available with Jabir's house rule, as is similar abuse via Summoning. This is why I don't try to mess around with the rules for rituals and instead just ban the general practice.

But, from the core rules, a ritual can be used to create a Magical being using a ritual. This has been confirmed in Hermetic Projects. Many mystery virtues are extremely powerful. They all do crazy stuff. Bind Magic Beasts is just one of them.

Plus, for any magus to keep a Might 60 Creature in their lab, they need some serious magical power. Circular Ward against Magical beasts lvl 60, Penetration 60.

Any magus senior enough to do this sort of thing has any number of ways to earn vis. They could be a longevity ritual specialist and get paid 40 or 50 pawns per season for the best LRs in the Order.
