 If you achieve a [Critical Success] while performing a [[:Mechanic:Check]] to advance a [[:Mechanic:Ability:Ritual]], it is treated the same as any other [Critical Success] on a [[:Mechanic:Check]]. Double all non-D20 [Bonuses] added to the [Check] when calculating its [Total]. The subsequent [Total] is then added to the ongoing [Total] for the [[:Mechanic:Ability:Ritual]]. However, if you suffer a [Critical Failure] while performing a [[:Mechanic:Check]] to advance a [[:Mechanic:Ability:Ritual]], the [[:Mechanic:Check]] [Fails], producing a [Total] of 0, and the entire [[:Mechanic:Ability:Ritual]] [Fails] as well, causing all progress to be lost.

An [Entity] can only turn a [Ritual] into a [Project] during their [Turn]. Once a [Ritual] has been converted into a [Project], the [Entity] is free to move and otherwise act as normal without risking any progress on the [Ritual]. To resume the [Ritual], however, the [Entity] must perform a [Multitasking[Savewith an [Appropriate] [Difficulty] based on the [Situation].\\

 +If the [Situation] is calm, such as during a rest period or at a work station, the [Difficulty] should be around 10 to 15. If the [Situation] is stressful or dangerous, such as at a loud concert, during a riot, or in a fightthe [Difficulty] should be around 15 to 25. If the [Situation] is disastrous or extremely stressful, such as during all-out warfare, life-or-death surgery, or while diffusing a bomb, the [Difficulty] can be 25 or higher, such as 30, 40, or even 50. Have a discussion to determine what feels [Appropriate] for the [Situation].\\
