Description:	Previous generations of Moon Mages temporarily augmented their minds and bodies with rituals to call down energy from the moons. While this magic has been lost, rumor has it that it was an echo of a far older ritual that drew upon the power of the planets, where stellar magic and divine symbolism mix in strange ways. This is a ritual spell, which means that it requires a high amount of mana to use. These mana costs can be alleviated somewhat by invoking the proper ritual focus while preparing the spell. It affects yourself. It requires a minimum of one hundred fifty mana streams, and can expand to a maximum of six hundred mana streams woven into it. To begin to be able to cast this spell, you will need to reach the rank of a 50th degree adept. By the time you have mastered this spell, you will be ranked as a guru in your abilities as a caster. It requires the Augmentation and Utility skills to cast effectively.

Example Messaging:	You gesture. The mental strain of this pattern is considerably eased by your ritual focus. A red-orange nebula forms high in the sky. Currents spin within the nebula as it condenses and descends toward you. The molten light continues speeds up as it descends, until it resolves into a rapidly churning disk a foot off the ground. Invoking the Circle: You draw your hand into the molten disk. Fiery energy races up your arm and into your body with a violent rush! Within a moment the circle is consumed. The burning energy settles into your body after a few spikes of pain. You feel much lighter on your feet. Death by Invoking Multiple Ritual Circles: You step inside the ring of hieroglyphs. The glowing figures arc up and inward, swirling around your head. Each element of the ritual circle spins in front of your eyes, incomprehensible yet somehow meaningful. The circle's energy settles into your mind, making it easier to think analytically. Ripping pain shoots through your body as the conflicting energies of two invocations discharge uncontrollably!
Devices/Tattoos:	No devices or tattoos documented.

Stats	Planet	Circle description	CAST messaging	INVOKE messaging
Charisma/Wisdom	Durgaulda	a shimmering circle of shade LOOK: A circular patch of shade hangs nearby, looking very much like a cloud shadow. In addition to lacking the cloud to go with it, the shade's unnatural character is betrayed through a subtle but constant silver shimmer in its depths.	A murky black nebula forms high in the sky. Currents spin within the nebula as it condenses and descends toward you. The dark cloud floats gently downward until it settles into a disk-like shape a foot off the ground.	You step inside the shimmering shade. You close your eyes and concentrate, allowing the shadows to gradually seep into you. The circle's energy settles into your mind. Upon reflection, the world doesn't seem nearly as complex as it did a moment ago.
Charisma/Wisdom	Yoakena	a circle of green vapors LOOK: A circular cloud of vapors hovers about a foot above the ground. While from a distance it looks like green gas held suspended in the air, upon closer observation it... doesn't look right. There is no odor, and the circle, upon inspection, seems more translucent than vaporous.	A faint green nebula forms high in the sky. Currents spin within the nebula as it condenses and descends toward you. The nebula floats gently downward until it settles into a disk-like shape a foot off the ground.

Upon reflection, the world doesn't seem nearly as complex as it did a moment ago.
Charisma/Wisdom	Ismenia	a sunlit circle LOOK: A circular band of yellow light, looking for all the world like a turgid sunbeam, hovers about a foot off the ground. On closer inspection, the circle's resemblance to sunlight falls away: the light is slightly off-colour compared to any variation of the Sun you have seen.	A bright yellow nebula forms high in the sky. Currents spin within the nebula as it condenses and descends toward you. The unnatural sunlight floats gently downward until it settles into a disk-like shape a foot off the ground.	You step inside the the disk of turgid sunlight.

Upon reflection, the world doesn't seem nearly as complex as it did a moment ago.
Charisma/Wisdom	Er'qutra	a circle of grey dust LOOK: A cloud of grey and black motes is suspended approximately a foot off the ground. The material within the cloud billows around, but an unseen force seems to contain it within a disk-shaped circle. On closer examination, what appeared to be dust and grit is nothing so substantial: the motes of the cloud are tiny spheres of colour, seemingly without mass.	A gritty dusk nebula forms high in the sky. Currents spin within the nebula as it condenses and descends toward you. The condensed cloud of dust floats gently downward until it settles into a disk-like shape a foot off the ground.	You step inside the the billowing dust cloud.

Upon reflection, the world doesn't seem nearly as complex as it did a moment ago.
Discipline/Intelligence	Estrilda	a green circle of letters LOOK: An unbroken circle of letters slowly spins in the air a foot off the ground. The letters are written in bright green light, vivid but not hard on the eyes. They resemble the Common alphabet in a sense, but appear to twist and change as you focus on them.

The column collapses upon itself a foot off the ground and fades away, leaving behind a circle of unintelligible symbols.	You step inside the circle of curving letters. The green letters arc up and inward, swirling around your head. Each element of the ritual circle spins in front of your eyes, incomprehensible yet somehow meaningful. The circle's energy settles into your mind, making it easier to think analytically.
Discipline/Intelligence	Penhetia	a brown circle of runes LOOK: Three concentric rings of dirt-brown symbols hang suspended a foot off the ground. The symbols are from no language you recognize, resembling runic script more than anything.	A dusty brown nebula forms high in the sky.

The circle's energy settles into your mind, making it easier to think analytically.
Discipline/Intelligence	Morleena	an orange circle of hieroglyphs LOOK: A ring of hieroglyphs slowly spins in the air a foot off the ground. Composed out of a steady orange light, the hieroglyphs are clear to see but in no way bright. The hieroglyphs resemble images of labor and animals, but correspond to no language you recognize.

Discipline/Intelligence	Amlothi
Reflex/Agility	Verena	a fiery circle LOOK: A rapidly spinning disk of fiery light floats about a foot off the ground. The light is a bright red-orange which hurts to directly look at, but the flow of the disk resembles more a liquid mass. A high-pitched keening emanates from the disk as it spins and bits of mass are occasionally thrown off and dissipate into the air.	A red-orange nebula forms high in the sky.

The burning energy settles into your body after a few spikes of pain. You feel much lighter on your feet.
Reflex/Agility	Szeldia	an unstable monochromatic circle LOOK: A disk made of equal amounts vivid white light and unnatural shadow spins a foot off the ground. In addition to its rapid spin, the two masses within the disk flow back and forth against each other, causing the disk to dip and wobble perilously. A high-pitched keening emanates from the disk as it spins.	A black and white nebula forms high in the sky. Currents spin within the nebula as it condenses and descends toward you.

Reflex/Agility	Merewalda	a churning blue circle LOOK: A deep blue disk violently spins about a foot off the ground. By some bizarre perceptual twist, the disk maintains a dark blue colour while somehow producing so much luminescence that it hurts to stare at directly. A high-pitched keening emanates from the disk as it spins and bits of mass are occasionally thrown off, to dissipate in the air.	A deep blue nebula forms high in the sky.
