Comments

So, I'm seriously considering further subdividing this page by Art, given how huge it is already. Anyone think this is a good or bad idea? - FrivYeti

First thing I have to say is that I am glad that you did this. Subdividing the rituals into canon and non-canon makes everything so much clearer to read. Second, hmm, looking at the large mass of formulas I think it actually might make sense to make it subdivided. It would probably allow for better organization. -Heru
