Ritual Spells
What it is
A Ritual Tablet works great spells that no Cord can hold: it clears the sky, calls a storm, ripens the fields, wards a sanctuary against monsters or brings the dawn. A ritual costs far more mana than a spell, so the casters standing with you share the cost.
How to get it
Craft it from an Amethyst Shard, a Book, three Polished Deepslate and two Gold Ingots:
| Amethyst Shard | ||
| Polished Deepslate | Book | Polished Deepslate |
| Gold Ingot | Polished Deepslate | Gold Ingot |
How to use it
- Sneak-use the tablet to choose the next ritual.
- Hold use to channel it. A ring of glyphs closes in around you while you channel. Let go early and nothing happens.
- When the channel completes, the ritual is worked, the reagent is taken from your pack, and the mana is taken from the circle.
You need a Cord equipped, and your heart must hold enough circles to lead the ritual.
The circle
Every other player wearing a Cord within 8 blocks of you joins the circle and pays part of the cost. Each pays an even share. Anyone who can’t meet their share gives all they have, and the rest cover the difference. If the circle together holds too little mana, the ritual won’t start.
The rituals
| Ritual | Circle | Mana | Channel | Reagent | Does |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bounty | 2 | 60 | 4 s | Bone Block | Every crop within 12 blocks grows three stages |
| Clear Skies | 4 | 90 | 5 s | Sunflower | The rain stops, and the sky stays clear for a day |
| Call Storm | 6 | 120 | 6 s | Storm Feather | A thunderstorm breaks, and rages a quarter of a day |
| Sanctuary | 8 | 160 | 7 s | Mana Crystal | For five minutes, monsters within 32 blocks are weakened, forget you and are pushed out |
| Dawn | 10 | 240 | 10 s | Glowstone | The night ends, and the sun rises at once |
Clear Skies, Call Storm and Dawn work only in the Overworld, and Dawn only by night. Sanctuary does not move the Wither or the Ender Dragon. In Creative, rituals cost nothing.
Tips
- Bounty works on wheat, carrots, potatoes, beetroot, melon and pumpkin stems, sweet berries and cocoa.
- A Sanctuary stays where you worked it. Work it at the heart of a camp or a farm, not on the move.
- A Sanctuary outlasts a server restart and holds for the time it had left.
- Storm Feathers drop from Thunderwing Harpies.
