[quote=@Fizzy] Hello all, so I've been working on the skeleton of my character - I'm trying to create something along the lines of the more Medieval Witchcraft as it was viewed in Britain, centring around blood magic . I'm going to try and tie the roots of my character's school of magic around Celtic/Pre-Roman Britain which was subsequently lost in the Druidic purges. So this somewhat straddles me between ritual and contract magic - Witches were seen to make pacts with Demons/Spirits but there is a strong ritual connection to their magic as well. So I was wondering if you have any guidelines when mixing the classes of magic together? [/quote] In my opinion, I would keep your basis as ritual magic. Contracts are something you [i]could[/i] get into but maybe hold off for real need. Your character would understand that contracts are pretty serious and if you can manage without them all the better. I also think that catering to a deity with a ritual is a gray area of contracts, mostly limited contracts and closer related to ritual (in a giving something to take something sort of way) than signing over your soul. Hellis probably has something to add.
