A Sanctification ceremony is a permanent location attuned to casting magic. Sorcerers create magical circles; priests, temples; Shaman, holy groves or lodges; and psionic chambers.
Sanctification ceremonies are long, complex ceremonies. The base ceremony takes at least 2 hours plus 2 hours per bonus point of spell to be cast in it’s environs. Each hour the mage will roll their Ritual Magic skill requiring a number of successes equal to the total number of hours in the ritual, e.g. creating a +2 lodge will take 4 hours and, thus, requires 4 successes every hour. If this number is not achieved, then the caster looses number of MF equal to the number of successes missed. In other words, if the caster only achieved 2 successes in the above example, they would lose 2 MF. In addition, a character must pay 5 character points per bonus point that the sanctification ceremony provides.
