Voice and Gestures for Ritual Spells

[callen]

@ezzelino

Hmm. I disagree. You certainly have to perform "elaborate rituals", but the option to deviate from the "standard voice and gestures [used for Rituals]" is still unavailable when casting Ritual Magic.

Really? Don't you get to add Artes Liberales and Philosophiae by deviating from the standard voice and gestures to these elaborate rituals instead of just +2 for going from standard to loud/exaggerated?

@ErikT

Using non-standard words and gestures is an option only available for non-ritual magic. See ArM5 p83

That doesn't imply what you say it does. Requiring non-standard words and gestures does not make non-standard words and gestures an option.
