MERP Magic Ritual

There are several factors that determine the success or failure of a ritual magic: 1) The caster's magic ritual bonus, 2) The sum of all spell levels multiplied by 3, 3) Modifiers for spell familiarity (+5 for known, -5 for unknown but on list, -15 for not on list), 4) Time spent equals ritual level minus caster level in hours, 5) Caster must make ritual rolls modified by their bonus every 5 hours or the ritual suffers a -20 modifier, 6) Minimum power points spent equal to ritual level times 1.5 plus bonuses for additional power points spent. Rolling above certain thresholds results in different ritual outcomes from full success to failure and backlash effects.
