Sensing a rare flux in your supply of ambrosia, you swiftly mold it to reform your body, missing for so long. As your consciousness is funneled into the vessel you've crafted once more, you note a change in the quality and consistency of the prayers directed to you, of the obedience of your attendants. Even the scent of burning fat is more appetizing, now. At the same time, you can tell that your presence doesn't inspire the same terror it once did.
Wasting little time, you appear in the apostate village shrine, where your daughter Seski has taken to living. Now that you can see her properly for the first time, you note her appearance as a child of three years. Her hair is of spun gold, with inquisitively wide pale blue eyes. She is dressed in the finest white furs of the bear, but instead of the skirts most females prefer, she has taken to trousers that split at the waist. You recall this is so she can dash about without tripping on the furs.
Immediately upon seeing you, she lets loose a delighted squeal, running to you and running circles about your legs. Nobody has noticed your return yet, so you pick her up to look her in the eye. "Seski, do you still have that shell from last year?" you ask. A twinkle in her eyes, she nods, giggling again. "Yes mama."
Overall, your efforts to go about the village scaring people with loud noises from the shell go poorly, as the shell doesn't have the same effect outside of your shrine. Perhaps it was the building's shape? Despite your failure of intent, Seski's blowing into the shell creates a pleasant, even tone. You implore her continue, and it isn't long before she has come up with a simple rhythm with the two or three tones she can easily make with the shell. Naturally, she uses it to draw the attentions of people towards her as you offer false praises to watching drummers and singers to join her in making music.
Fun had, you go back to blessing the people for little things, and take a good long look at the future and the past, having been unable to do so in several years. You see that success will be typical this year and the next, but a pall hangs over the stars on the third year, clouding your expectations. You should be prepared for whatever the future brings... And for the first time in quite a while, you look to the past, seeking knowledge to perhaps aid you in your difficult time. A collection of stars forms a constellation in your mind's eye, of a woman reaching out across the stars, head tilted back and mouth agape in soundless song. You will likely have a much easier time discovering more, should you try again.
As the moon rises and sets, you eventually decide upon a course of action, first claiming for yourself all of the finest workable bone and tusk, a pittance, and you suspect you've been held out on. Then, you meet with Saiga once again to discuss your idea, and learn more of his stories. As you lay alongside him, he goes on about his ally Saitev some more, describing the bird's size as towering nearly twice again his own impressive height, and going into some detail on their past battles, before Saiga had finally convinced him that they could both benefit from an alliance. You poke and prod for what he knows of the Crone, but it seems he doesn't even realize the spirit has imprisoned a secret, fourth member of their Geshtef. He can only tell you that Attrouska has occasionally lain with men, producing very odd children very much like herself.
When you broach the topic of the silver bits, and your power to change the nature of one thing to another, Saiga seems interested, but wary. The two of you pound at the silver with some of Saiga's hardest stones, which chip even as they bend the larger pieces, and the dust is impossible to work. Your greatest efforts come when you try to work the silver after heating it, the heat somehow making it more pliable, but not nearly enough to shape properly.
He does not see the value in the silver that you work with him when you offer it for some of his crafts, having too hard a time shaping it and being unable to form the dust into anything of note. However, reduced as it is when you cannot coax the moon to shine as brightly, when you display your power to him, the bone you'd collected and the tusk figurine he'd gifted you turn black, become stronger, and gain a sheen in the light, even reflecting his visage on the flats, he agrees immediately to let you borrow of his strength to change the things he has made when your strength returns, the gifts he has lamented as insufficient for you surely being improved by the magic at work to something more befitting you.
Taking the blackened bones and shells along with a few silver pieces, you instruct your people to craft the night sky onto a large skin canvas. With your expert eye, the tapestry of black stone and shimmering silver is completed mostly to your specifications, and will surely serve as an excellent aid in your efforts to read the stars.
Interspersed throughout the year was your threat to the people for not giving you what you desired, and you drew many a man to brash foolishness on the rocks of the shore and shoal. Perhaps next time they will be more respectful of you!
You end your year on a bittersweet note, as the Silver Men appear to be sterile. You could try to lay with a few of them to strengthen the line, but without any abilities especially tailored to fertility, you probably won't be able to gift them anything to stem the decay. In the sea, however, your brood of animal children has become noted by the people, who call them Sea Pixies, for their curious ability to transform their bodies into a simulacrum of a very small person with silvery hair. You, being more able to follow them about, know that this is not their only transformation, merely the one they've discovered works best when they travel near the surface to eat from shallow pools and the shoals. Their actual skills are far more extensive, as they are able to imitate completely inert stone and even simple plant growths in order to lull food into a sense of safety before catching their prey. What clever little creatures!

Instead of rituals having variable costs without development, rituals now have an unknown cost without development that is steadily revealed as development is done. Regardless of what is written in a ritual's costs, it will always cost the same number of resources to perform.
There are two main components to developing a ritual; Accuracy and Precision. An accurate ritual reduces the chance of catastrophic failure or random performance of different rituals. A precise ritual displays a smaller and smaller 'range' of possible costs. Spending too much can be as dangerous as spending to little; a ritual underpaid will likely fizzle out, wasting resources, or draw on resources you don't have, while a ritual overpaid wastes resources from the other direction, and can cause damaging feedback to the performing spirit.
The final accuracy and precision of the ritual performed has a moderate effect on the ritual's chance of success.
Accuracy is primarily raised through Omen Reading, while Precision is primarily raised through Astrology. Mysticism is less effective, but equal in both categories, and raises the success chance of the ritual directly when performing it.
