Ritual

A Ritual is a type of skill that creates a spirit creature at the caster's location. Rituals typically have long activation and recharge times, balancing the fact that they affect all allies and/or foes in a very large range.

If you are within range of two or more Nature Rituals of the same type you will be affected by the one which was created with the highest attribute.

All Rituals except for Gaze of Fury are untargeted and summon a spirit at your location.

After the activation of a ritual is complete, there is a brief delay before the spirit is actually created.
