Study Wonder (Level 1) - While figuring out the resonance of a Wonder can give some basic idea as to what its intended use is, this isn't always accurate, nor is it very detailed. This ritual gives more specific information; Intelligence + Occult is rolled, and the successes scored gives the level of information you receive. One success gives a general 'category' of effect (protective, offensive, mind-altering), three gives a specific use, and five gives information as to the specific 'type' of Wonder (Minor Talisman, Artifact, etc). This ritual doesn't work on Fetishes or other Venue-specific item types, but with proper information, similar rituals can be learned that apply to them (Study Fetish, Study Treasure, etc). This costs a willpower point.
Infusion (Level 2) - The sorcerer takes an otherwise normal potion or other consumable object and places some of his own Mana into it for later use. The successes scored determine how much Mana can go into the item. Energy usually "leaks" during this process; every two points of Mana spent by the sorcerer channel one point into the storage receptacle.
Suppress Personal Resonance (Level 2) - This ritual lets a Sorcerer suppress their own Resonance, similar to a mage using Mind 2, removing the usual social difficulties it can cause, or otherwise making it difficult to recognize. This lasts for a scene and has no willpower cost.
Shape Mana (Level 3) - With special mirrors, diagrams, carvings or the like, the sorcerer rums the flow of Mana in an area so that it changes direction and intent. The sorcerer could cause "bad" energies to become wholesome, alter a spell effect or rum a ley line so that it runs through his residence. The level of success guides the feat: With one success, the sorcerer could dissipate some unlucky energies so that a place does not attract evil spirits or ill fortune. With three successes, the sorcerer can channel joss so that a location has good fortune (lowering by one the difficulty of all commerce or practices of the area - a store would facilitate business, a hospital would encourage healing, and so on). With five successes, the sorcerer can reshape a magic effect already in the area to the limits of his own knowledge (turning, say, a ward so that it wards against a different creature type) or even cause a Node or other source of power to channel its energy to a location of his choosing. Mana reshaped in this form typically lasts until some force "snaps" it back to normal, though some places may require specific maintenance (yearly for simple effects like good luck, perhaps daily rituals for bending ley lines).
Mana Absorption (Level 4) - With this ritual, the sorcerer can temporarily store more mana, like with the base path effect, but the mana absorbed with the ritual doesn't need to be used in the next turn, and instead remains in the sorcerer's pattern until discharged. This can't be used if the sorcerer already has more than his usual maximum stored (because of this ritual or otherwise), until he's back down to normal. The maximum amount of extra mana this ritual can possibly allow a sorcerer to store is 5+Path Dots. This costs a willpower point.
