Editing FANGS: Appendix D - Priest (section)

===Basic Ceremonies ===

There are two fundamental 'spells' that all initiates and priests know, called Prayer and Vigil. These are ceremonies that are used to refresh the priests spells after failure or fumble. These 'spells' have no circle and thus no circle penalty, however, the skill in these ceremonies may not be improved with critical successes like other priest spells. 

* '''Prayer''' -- This is the first ceremony spell an initiate learns, and takes 10 minutes to perform. Prayer is a simple ceremony, whose sacrifice is time, sacred space is a quiet space, and the ritual preparation is kneeling, ritual manifestation is meditation and prayer while holding a sacred symbol or text, and ritual completion is standing. At the end of the time, an acolyte rolls an Attribute Check against PW/2, a priest rolls vs. his full PW. If successful, he gets his spells back (except those he lost due to a fumble.) A failure of a Prayer means the priest must try again. A fumble means that the priest will have to perform a Vigil before getting his spells back. 

* '''Vigil''' -- This is the second ceremony spell an acolyte learns. Vigil is a more complex ceremony then Prayer and it takes 1 day to perform. Its primary sacrifice is time (though other services or payment may be required before entering the sacred space), the sacred space must be in a sanctified or consecrated place, and the ritual is preparation is entering the sacred space, manifestation a number of chants and prayers while holding or creating sacred symbols and texts, and completion is leaving the sacred space. At the end of the time, if an acolyte rolls an Attribute Check against PW/2, or a priest rolls under his full PW, he gets '''all''' of his spells back. A failure of a Vigil means the priest must try again. A fumble means that the priest may have to perform a quest or some other penance to a High Priest to get his spells restored.
