I am giving you the rituals chapter of Blades in the Dark. I want you to give me 10 example rituals that cover things like mapping an unexplored area, opening a planar portal, increasing the fertility of a large area of land, adding potency to a weapon to make it permanently magical, animating all the dead in a graveyard, and sanctifying a temple, keeping the powers of others out.

Blades in the Dark is set in Duskvol, a dark fantasy setting. I am using this is a setting, World of Greyhawk, that in my version is similar to 15C Europe with magic. This magic comes in two kinds, rituals and powers. Rituals represent the slow magic often performed by organizations like churches. Powers is easier, more limited in scope, and on a personal scale.

Here are the ritual rules from Blades in the Dark:

Rituals
 
−
A ritual is a lost art of sorcery from before the cataclysm. Unlike modern arcane techniques that utilize the scientific application of electroplasmic energies, rituals depend on strange occult powers and entities to realize their effects. To enact a ritual is to come into contact with these abyssal forces and entreat them to do your will. It is a practice not without considerable risk.

FINDING A RITUAL SOURCE
+
* '''Animist Disguise''' ☐: A coverall or robe that hides an animist's spirit symbols without interfering with powers. You have to doff this to use powers. '''Playbook'''.
−
A PC with the Ritual special ability begins with one known ritual, already learned (answer the questions below to create it). To learn a new ritual, a PC must first find a source. A source may be secured as payoff from a score—perhaps you steal a ritual book when your crew robs the Museum of Antiquities. You might also secure a source as the goal of a long-term project—by consorting with cultist friends, studying ancient texts, or some other method you devise.  
+
* '''Athame''' ◯: A ceremonial [[Magic Items (FiD)|Magic]] iron dagger with inscriptions of occult symbols. The athame insulates the wielder, protecting from corruption, while also allowing the wielder to affect both the physical and ethereal worlds. It allows the wielder to draw glowing lines on any surface or even in the air, usually to create wards or as a part of a ritual. Improves position when rolling for rituals and functions as a fine, potent dagger.
−
 
+
* '''Bandolier of Alchemicals''' ☐: A strap worn across the body, fitted with specially-padded pouches to hold five flasks of alchemical agents. When you employ an alchemical from a bandolier, choose one of your custom-made formulas or a '''Common''' alechemical with complexity no more than '''1 higher than your tier'''. See [[Inventions_(FiD)#Alchemy|Alchemy]] page 226 for more on alchemicals.
−
LEARNING A RITUAL Once the source of a ritual is found, you may undertake a long-term project to learn the ritual. Most rituals will require an 8-segment progress clock to learn. The player and the GM answer questions about the ritual to define what it will do in play and what is required to perform it (see below). The player records these answers in their notes for future reference.

−
2. Player asks: “What must I do to perform the ritual, and what is its price?” GM answers. A ritual takes at least one downtime activity to perform and inflicts stress on the caster according to its magnitude. If performance of the ritual is dangerous or troublesome in some way, it requires an action roll (usually Attune). A ritual may also have additional costs, such as a sacrifice, rare item, the start of a dire progress clock, etc.
+
* '''Breastplate''' ☐-☐: A metal chest piece with greaves (legs) and vambraces (arms). Functions as armor and stacks with other armor.

Example Ritual Answers
+
* '''Ceremonial Robe''' ☐-☐-☐: Extravagant robe embroidered with mystic symbols, along with a ceremonial hat. Reduces the stress cost of powers by 1. '''Playbook'''.
−
Player: “The ritual wards a person so that the ghosts of their victims cannot find them. It's weird because... as long as the ward is in place, the person sometimes weeps tears of black blood.” GM: “Spend a downtime action to prepare a mixture of tobacco, dream smoke, and crematory ash from a victim—which the target then smokes. You take at least 3 stress when you perform the ritual, which will be its quality for a fortune roll when it's challenged by a spirit—so you might want to take more stress to make it more potent.” Player: “Gotcha. My new fear is what will happen if the spirits figure out where the wardcame from and turn their vengeance on me, instead.” 
+
* '''Ceremonial Robe''' ☐-☐-☐: Extravagant robe embroidered with mystic symbols, along with a ceremonial hat. Reduces the stress cost of powers by 1. '''Playbook'''.
−
 
+
* '''Chosen's Disguise''' ◯: A hooded cloak or a type of large hat that is ubiquitous in the setting. It helps you avoid attention as long as you lie low in a crowd, but won't conceal you if individually examined. As a chosen, this also protects you from all Attune, Study, and Survey Powers. '''Playbook'''.
−
PERFORMING A RITUAL
+
* '''Chosen's Token''' ☐: Give an object used to visualize a your use of powers to another to allow them one use of a power effect you know as if they knew that power themselves. They use it with their own action rating. '''Playbook'''.
−
To perform a ritual, you must have the Ritual special ability, then follow the method outlined by the answers to the ritual questions. Most rituals will take one downtime activity to complete, though the GM may call for two (or more) downtime activities for very powerful or far-reaching rituals. Some rituals may be partially performed during downtime and then fully manifested at-will later by completing the last incantation or ritual action. In this case, simply make a note that the ritual has been “primed” and may be unleashed at a later time. When you perform a ritual, you take an amount of stress as established by the ritual questions, according to the magnitude of the forces brought to bear. The GM uses magnitude as a guideline for setting the stress cost—it may be higher or lower at their discretion to better describe the nature of the ritual. Some claims and special abilities also reduce the stress cost for ritual casting (like the Cult's Ancient Obelisk claim). Rituals take time to cast. Use the duration examples on the magnitude table to reduce the stress cost based on the time needed, generally no less than an hour. The GM may also tick a progress clock when you perform a ritual—to advance the agenda of an arcane power or entity, or to show the steady approach of a dark outcome that is a consequence of the ritual's use. If a ritual is dangerous or troublesome to perform, make an action roll (usually Attune) to see if unpleasant consequences manifest. If a ritual has an uncertain effect then a fortune roll should be made to see how well it manifests. Because a ritual is a downtime activity, you may spend coin 1-for-1 to increase the result level of your fortune roll (this represents the expenditure of expensive or rare ritual materials). If a ritual is both dangerous and uncertain, then both rolls may be called for. Each performance of a ritual is a unique event, and may not always work the same way each time. The GM or players may call for a round of questions to establish a ritual anew. Rituals are a way to bring in a wide variety of arcane effects into the game. Use with caution! If you ever go overboard, address the questions again to establish new weirdness and costs if things have gotten out of hand. The abyssal forces are not playthings and cannot be considered a reliable or safe source of power.
+
