**Example**: If the famous [[:Character:Job:Merc]], [[:Setting:Legendary Spacer:Buck Texas]], was attempting to perform a [[:Item:Mod:Modding|Mod]] installation [[:Ability:Ritual|Ritual]] on his favourite [[:Item:Equipment:Weapon:Flashrifle]], that  [[:Ability:Ritual|Ritual]] would have [[:Ability:Ritual:Severity|Severity]] of 80 and an [[:Ability:Ritual:Interval]] of [Periodic]. [[:Setting:Legendary Spacer:Buck Texas|Buck]] would require a combined [[:Mechanic:Roll:Dice Pool:Total]] of 80, across all of his [[:Character:Skill:Tech]] [[:Mechanic:Roll:Check|Checks]]. \\
\\
During the previous [[:Mechanic:General:Time:Period|Periodic]] [[:Ability:Ritual:Interval|Intervals]] [[:Setting:Legendary Spacer:Buck Texas|Buck]] achieved [[:Mechanic:Roll:Dice Pool:Total|Totals]] of 27 and 31, meaning the progress of the Ritual is 58 out of a [[:Ability:Ritual:Severity|Severity]] 80, [[:Setting:Legendary Spacer:Buck Texas|Buck]] needs a [[:Mechanic:Roll:Dice Pool:Total]] of 22 or more to complete the [[:Ability:Ritual|Ritual]] during this [[:Ability:Ritual:Interval|Interval]].\\
\\
[[:Setting:Legendary Spacer:Buck Texas|Buck]] rolls his [[:Character:Skill:Tech]] [[:Mechanic:Roll:Check]] and gets a [[:Mechanic:Roll:Dice Pool:Total]] of 24, which is added to his progress for a [[:Mechanic:Roll:Dice Pool:Total]] of 82. Since 82 is greater than the [[:Ability:Ritual:Severity|Severity]] of 80, the [[:Ability:Ritual|Ritual]] is [[:Mechanic:Outcome:Success|Successful]] and [[:Setting:Legendary Spacer:Buck Texas|Buck]] installs the [[:Item:Mod]] in his [[:Item:Equipment:Weapon:Flashrifle]] with no issue.
