suggested miniquest if require to unlock the ritual
The Player and Malignus talk about things that can be used as a Ritual focus.
Bones ofc. You use necromancy to convert Pure Ess to Impure Ess.
He rattles off some things other Necromancers have tried/used in the past with varying degrees of success.
You recommenced that you have some unused components in your Invention Component Pouch.
His curiosity is peaked. He personally hasn't tried Invention. He doesn't have the skills for it.
However, since this is a first that he knows of someone trying it ... and it doesn't involve living souls etc ... he doubts Death will object to it.
Step 1: He tries a ritual using some random piece of junk. It fails.
He looks over the math for the ritual.
Step 2: He suggests YOU disassemble something and add it to the focus. He gives you the junk item. You get Malginus's Junk Components. He tries again. Fails again.
He rethinks the math.
Step 3: He suggests you disassemble MORE junk. The YOU do the ritual.
You do the ritual dance. It succeeds.
He checks the Ritual Storage and ... nada ... zilch ... no souls. No ectoplasm.
Firstly, he figures that the components lack enough in their dead/disassembled state to be able to create Ectoplasm.
He also postulates that the person performing the ritual also had to disassemble the item as the ritual requires not just an understanding of Necromancy but also a fundmental understanding of the components (as in the literal essence of junk, magic, corporeal, gods, etc AND been the one who disassembled it for the ritual to work. On top of that, while it is great from an academic standpoint ( cough xp cough ) most normal Necromancers won't bother with it as the cost (ie: ink) isn't worth the lack of output (ie: ectoplasm, souls, useful materials).
So he figures you might be one of the few people who could use the ritual as an Inventor + Necormancer since few would go down both paths.
