Ritual Spells
The purpose of this revised list is to make the Ritual casting Feat a bit more interesting, as well as make some spells Rituals that one would think SHOULD be rituals. For example; Any Summoning spell seems to naturally be a sacred or profane Ritual in it's casting.
Some obvious changes is the ability to cast more than one spell of 8th or 9th level a day. In some cases the changes is irrelevant like with Awaken (8 hour cast time) as the chances of you casting it 2 times a day is very unlikely. Finally, any modified spells can only be cast once per day as a ritual.

Reviews for "Ancient Wisdom Made Modern: A Compendium of Ritual Spells and Magick"
1. John - 2 stars - I was really excited to get my hands on the "Ritual Spell Compendium", but I was left disappointed. The book promised a comprehensive collection of powerful rituals, but most of them were either too complicated or simply not practical for use in real-life situations. I also found the explanations to be confusing and lacking in detail. Overall, I think this book is more suited for experienced practitioners who have a deep understanding of ritual magic, but not for beginners like myself.
2. Sarah - 1 star - As someone who is new to the world of ritual magic, I was hoping that the "Ritual Spell Compendium" would provide helpful and clear instructions to help me get started. However, I found the book to be overly complicated and difficult to follow. The rituals were described in a way that assumed prior knowledge and experience, making it nearly impossible for a beginner like me to fully comprehend and execute them. I ended up feeling frustrated and discouraged after attempting to perform the rituals in this book. It's definitely not a beginner-friendly guide.
3. Alex - 2 stars - While the "Ritual Spell Compendium" claims to offer a wide variety of spells and rituals, I felt that many of them were repetitive and lacked originality. It seems like the authors just included slight variations of the same rituals, which became monotonous and uninteresting after a while. Additionally, some of the rituals required rare and hard-to-find ingredients, making them impractical for most people. Overall, I found this book to be underwhelming and not worth the investment.
4. Mary - 3 stars - I had high hopes for the "Ritual Spell Compendium" based on its promising title, but it fell short of my expectations. While it does include a decent collection of rituals, I found the organization of the book to be confusing. The spells were not categorized or grouped together logically, making it difficult to navigate and find what I was looking for. Furthermore, the book lacked any personal stories or anecdotes that could have brought the rituals to life and made them more engaging. Overall, I found the "Ritual Spell Compendium" to be a mediocre resource for those interested in ritual magic.
