- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
What Does This Do?
- Gives all Witch Coven NPCs a brand new Service: Perform Ritual
- Performing a Ritual grants you new Special Advantages (like Weapon Expertise, or 3X Spell Points) after Character Creation!
- Works for Custom Classes and Pre-Defined Classes.
- There are 34 Rituals included, 1 for almost every Special Advantage and Player Transformation in the game
- Each Ritual has a short, unique and lore-friendly scenario that plays out in text
- Not sure what a Ritual does? After opening the list of rituals for the first time, try asking around for rumors!
- Be careful...witchcraft can be a bit of a dirty passtime.
How Does it Work?
- It's like a Perk System - Once per level, you can perform one ritual.
- A Use For Religious Items - Every ritual uses Religious Items, previously a bit underutilized. Put them to work!
- What's the Cost? - Two religious items, two themed ingredients and 1000 gold per level of your character.
- How Do I Know Which Items? - Select a Ritual and the Witch will tell you what they need.
Do I Need Other Mods?
- No other mods (or other external things like Harmony) are required, works as is.
- However! I recommend the two mods below by harbinger451 that give you more options for Witch Covens AND helps you find them!

MANUAL INSTALLATION INFO
If for whatever reason Vortex does not install the mod properly, download the 7z archive manually and locate your DFU installation's StreamingAssets folder (DaggerfallUnity_Data\StreamingAssets). Using 7-zip or some archive tool, copy BOTH folders inside (Mods and QuestPacks) into your StreamingAssets folder. There should now be a rituals and rites.dfmod file under StreamingAssets/Mods, and a RitualsAndRitesQuests folder with TXT files in your StreamingAssets/QuestPacks folder. You need both or nothing will happen when you click Perform Ritual!
