Arcane Constraints
Canonical limitations used to keep ritual escalation coherent in current-era play.
Constraints
- Ritual Locus Dependence: top-tier effects require prepared sites (temples, sealed chambers, convergences).
- Elemental Balancing: Earth/Air/Water/Fire channels must be reconciled for stable grand invocations.
- Seasonal Timing: Allbirth-cycle windows dramatically increase success for descent-class rituals.
- Sealing Decay: historical seals degrade and can be subverted rather than openly broken.
