# Ritual Resolution System

## Overview Every ritual lists a set of Target Values in the format:

`[Power, Stability, Focus]`

These numbers represent the exact values you must reach by the end of the ritual.

All rituals are performed by manipulating these three values over a fixed sequence of actions.

—

## Starting Values All participants begin a ritual at:

`[10, 10, 10]`

You will take exactly 10 actions, each of which uses a reagent to modify one or more of these values.

—

## Actions - You must perform 10 total actions. - Each action consumes a reagent. - Reagents shift Power, Stability, and Focus in specific ways (defined elsewhere). - If you run out of reagents before completing your 10 actions, you must draw and use a random reagent for each remaining action.

—

## Scoring the Result At the end of your tenth action, compare your final values to the ritual’s Target Values.

Count how many of the three values exactly match their targets:

- 0 Matches → Critical Failure - 1 Match → Failure - 2 Matches → Success - 3 Matches → Critical Success

—

## 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 - You may use Locks one at a time or save them for later

Once a value is locked, all reagent effects that would change it are ignored.

—

## Forced Random Actions If you lack sufficient reagents to complete all 10 actions:

- For each missing reagent, you must use a random reagent - Random results may disrupt your planned values - These still count as normal actions and cannot be skipped
