+=== Allied Assistance ===
+Up to **three allies** may aid you during a ritual.
+Each ally grants you **one Lock**, which you may use at any time. A Lock allows you to:
+  * **Freeze** one of your current values (Power, Stability, or Focus)
+  * That value **cannot be changed** by any further actions, use them for values that match their target
+Once a value is locked, all reagent effects that would alter it are **ignored**.

+=== Reagent Use ===
   * You must perform **10 total actions**.
   * Each action consumes a **reagent**.
   * Reagents shift Power, Stability, and Focus in specific ways (defined elsewhere).

+=== Random Action ===
+If you lack sufficient reagents to complete all 10 actions:
+  * For each missing reagent, you must perform an action which randomly alters each value
+  * These still count as normal actions and **cannot be skipped**
+  * You **may choose** to take a random action willingly, even if you would have reagents to use
+----
+=== Scoring the Result ===
 At the end of your tenth action, compare your final values to the ritual’s Target Values.
