Heka Aperture Enhancement Ritual

E/F/M:

This Casting enables the Heka forger to enhance Aperture for the purposes of the next Heka-Forging Casting to be activated. Only the portion of the practitioner's Heka Aperture that comes from Physical K/S Areas will be affected by this Casting.

Heka Aperture Enhancement is cast to increase the Aperture available for a readied Casting, which is completed and activated immediately after the completion of this Ritual. Upon successful activation of this Ritual, a second roll is made against the caster's STEEP to determine if Heka Aperture was actually increased. The Difficulty Rating for this roll depends on the desired enhancement of the practitioner's Heka Aperture. The Materia cost for this Ritual likewise varies with the attempted DR:

Base DR

Cost (BUCs)

Difficult

Very Difficult

The multiplier is applied to the fraction of the practitioner's Heka Aperture which comes from Physical K/S Areas. This is then added to the Heka forger's original Heka Aperture to determine Aperture for the subsequent Casting Effect. No further increase to the practitioner's Heka Aperture is possible through repeated usage of this Ritual.
