Ritual Name: Instill Knowledge
Ritual Level: Basic
Ritual Concept: This rituals allows an caster to learn the knowledge held within a text while keeping up with their other tasks and not falling behind on their studies. As a crafter and researcher locally for House and Clan this ritual was crafted to make the best use of the limited night hours.

In Game: The Text (A book, scroll, pamphlet, or other physically written object) is place within an symbolic circle and the casters ear is removed and placed on top of the object. The ear will slowly ash over the course of the ritual, once it completes this process the knowledge of the object is placed within the mind of the caster.

System: The Ritual is cast, then after the length of time it would take the caster to read the book the knowledge of the books contents are place within the casters memories, this includes images of pictures. This Ritual cannot be used to bypass magically enchanted books (the ritual will just fail) but will worked on books that have preserve and similar magics that wouldn’t affect the reader. Knowledge gained must still have XP spend to be understood if the knowledge would be reflected by ability dots. Casting this ritual causes 1 unsoakable lethal damage to that caster. If that damage is healed before the rituals completion the ritual automatically fails. The Ritual is considered complete once the time to read the book in question passes or immediately if the ritual casting chop results in a failure.
