 A [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Ability:Ritual#Ritual|Ritual]] is a type of [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Ability]]. It is  an [[:Game Mechanics:Actions|Action]] that is performed over time. [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Ability:Ritual#Ritual|Ritual]] is the general term, regardless of what type of [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Ability:Ritual#Ritual|Ritual]] it may be, such as an  [[:Game Mechanics:Invocation]], it will always be a [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Ability:Ritual#Ritual|Ritual]].\\

 A [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Ability:Ritual#Ritual|Ritual]] can be paused to perform other tasks by performing a [[:Game Mechanics:Multitasking|Multitasking Save]]. A paused [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Ability:Ritual#Ritual|Ritual]] can be contributed to by others with a [[:Game Mechanics:Success and Failure:Success|Successful]] [[:Game Mechanics:Multitasking|Multitasking Save]].

If this should cause the progress to fall below 0, the [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Ability:Ritual#Ritual|Ritual]] [[:Game Mechanics:Success and Failure:Failure|Fails]] or [[:Game Mechanics:Success and Failure:Critical Failure|Critically Fails]], as [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Appropriate]].

 Should a [[:Skills|Skill]]  [[:Game Mechanics:Check]] to progress a [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Ability:Ritual#Ritual|Ritual]] be a [[:Game Mechanics:Success and Failure:Critical Success]], add the various bonuses to the D20 twice when calculating the progress gained for that [[:Game Mechanics:Check|Check]].\\

 ===== Interval =====
-{{page>[[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Ability:Ritual:Interval]]&noheader&inline}}
+[[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Ability:Ritual#Interval|Interval]] is a mechanical term involved in [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Ability:Ritual#Ritual|Rituals]].\\
+\\
+An [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Ability:Ritual#Interval|Interval]] denotes the [[:Game Mechanics:Actions|Action]] speed at which you can perform [[:Game Mechanics:Check|Checks]] to progress a [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Ability:Ritual]].\\
+\\
+**Example**: If Johnny Tutorial was attempting to perform the [[:Traits:Setup X|Setup]] [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Ability:Ritual]] on his favourite [[:Items:Equipment:Weapons:Heavy Sniper Rifle]], that  [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Ability:Ritual#Ritual|Ritual]] has an [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Ability:Ritual#Interval|Interval]] of [[:Game Mechanics:Actions:Action]]. Johnny could only perform a [[:Skills|Skill]] [[:Game Mechanics:Check]] any time he could perform an [[:Game Mechanics:Actions:Action]], each one costing him an [[:Ratings:Action Points|AP]].

-During the previous [[:Game Mechanics:Time:Period|Periodic]] [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Ability:Ritual#Interval|Intervals]] [Buck] achieved [[:Game Mechanics:Dice Pool:Total|Totals]] of 27 and 31, meaning the progress of the Ritual is 58 out of a [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Ability:Ritual#Severity|Severity]] 80, [Buck] needs a [[:Game Mechanics:Dice Pool:Total]] of 22 or more to complete the [[:Game Mechanics:Ritual]] during this [[:Game Mechanics:Ritual:Interval]].\\

-[Buck] rolls his [[:Skills:Tech]] [[:Game Mechanics:Check]] and gets a [[:Game Mechanics:Dice Pool:Total]] of 24, which is added to his progress for a total of 82. Since 82 is greater than the [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Ability:Ritual#Severity|Severity]] of 80, the [[:Game Mechanics:Ritual]] is [[:Game Mechanics:Success and Failure:Success|Successful]] and [Buck] gains the benefits of [[:Jobs:Merc:"That’s Mine!”]].
