Hmm… Forge for Change… Heart for health and vitality? Maybe we could make or hunt down a ritual that reshapes the body into a healthier, more ideal form? I mean, if we Can cure Cancer, why wouldn't we?
Other options could be Winter and Moth to try and heal our remove trauma and addiction from someone?
It needs to touch the soul, so maybe we could do Moth and Grail, to reshape their personality? Moth and Lantern to alter their desires and reshape their motivations or ideals?
How many Lores can one even add to a ritual…? Have rituals with 4 Lores would probably be a near-impossible undertaking based on past examples from the Equestria quest, but maybe not here? Regardless it'll be incredibly difficult, which I think we can safely assume, but even 'only' 3 allows for so MUCH expression… Though Knock tends to be a requirement for most, I think…?
Or is that only a requirement for Summoning rituals?
Still, the point is that there are an amazing number of possible rituals we could make… but since the goal chosen was to reshape humankind… I can guess what this ritual's purpose is. To start testing on the reshaping of the human soul to prep for the eventual grand transformation…

So one ritual that will almost certainly exist and likely will reach as we desire is Forge's redemption. The changes only seem purely physical superficially.
If it's like pony quest there is also incision of the heart.
And then we have unknowns
I would like to take some learning in heart this turn, if possible. It's likely the rewards of that expedition will be just helpful to have.

Heart is also probably one of the least, uh… horrific ways we could twist humanity. I can't see Moth going in any way other than horror-movie.

I agree Heart works best here

Then we finally explore the Woods some more and we bond with Christopher over our scholarly pursuits. I think Loremaster would be interested learning about Mansus creatures.
By the way, this is how I really imagine we spend our time/actions usually. As ritualist, we research rituals and artifacts, we advance our personal knowledge, explore the Mansus, and keep our contacts within cult stable. And that only time we deviate from that is when we get orders from above.
Edit: Clarified that we are spending Dappled Wing action on having it help us with Research a Ritual by adding [Follower].

I think we should research Moth ritual instead. Not only we are higher level in it, but we also have Dappled Wing that can help with it.

I'm not sure a dappled wing will be particularly helpful at researching a ritual; doesn't really seem like their regular skillset. We'd probably want a Knock or Lantern summon for that.
Sure, their temperament might not be scholarly, but the knowledge they can provide is invaluable. Which is why it can help.
If the Dappled Wing lacks the Ritualist Trait then its ability to help with rituals (beyond being sacrificed) will be rather limited.

Yeah I don't really want to give the cult the Path Through Nightmares as our first soul/mind-interacting ritual
I do think Knock could be a good place to start researching from. Knock's all about opening, both literally and metaphorically, and it's already the key to the Dream. Some kind of soul-interacting ritual seems plausible.
I will probably be putting a proper plan together soon.
[X] Plan: Finding Heart
I note that somewhere within the Woods lies the Temple of The Wheel, which thrums with a yet-remembered power. Quite auspicious for Heart related investigations if we can locate it.
I also rather suspect that Charlotte will be a lot more inclined towards supporting a Heart ritual than Woods-mad Moth. She's a bit spooked at the moment so let's try and calm her down with a largely benevolent ritual.
I wonder if a Heart ritual could be used to dispel Dread. Heck, I wonder if a Heart ritual could override master effects by empowering that thundering vitality.

On this note we should probably make sure to meet her before the next cult meeting. Being a shoulder to vent to about the cult's... cultness will probably be favorable to us. And we don't want to make the mistake of leaving bonds 3/4 complete.
But it also has nothing saying it can't help. Having it stand over our shoulder and provide advice, or even being there to answer our questions, is still a lot of help we could only get from Master. I doubt we are going to ask for her help instead.
It doesn't mean we will research something like that. We could also research a ritual that would hide people, or cloak locations, or channel aspect of curiosity to help search for knowledge. There are a lot of ways Moth ritual could be benign.
I wish to remind people that we could also research a Heart ritual later, when we know more about it. It is not like researching them is mutually exclusive.
EDIT:
The Heart ritual doesn't need to be benign either. We could also research a ritual that would induce a dancing plague. That would absolutely be on brand with what Heart does.

Okay, plan. Researching a ritual using Knock, since the Lore of Opening seems like a pretty safe start to something that can interact with a person's soul (esp. since I suspect this may be a first step toward whatever the Master is planning regarding the Shards/Passengers/whatever they're called). Keeping up progress on both making friends in the cult and exploring the Mansus, because there's always more goodies to be found in the Mansus. And having our Dappled Wing search for expedition sites like I mentioned before, since our income isn't great and expeditions are likely to be the most cost-effective way of getting books, reagents, and artifacts.

Also I should note that while Knock is great for opening paths, wounds, and locks, it doesn't focus much on touching, per se. Heart, Grail, and Edge are far more concerned with the ways things rub, melt, and scrape along each other, and so are probably better vehicles to go touch someone's mind or spirit.
I kind of want to try for a Heart-Lantern ritual of some sort.

You gotta get within reaching distance before you can start touching with your grubby Lore-coated hands though, and Knock is very good at that

Greymere has a good idea, can you send the dappled wing to search for an easy expedition site?
