Required resources for \"arcane rituals\" would vary from round to round, from useless crap to empty beakers, to high capacity power cells.   Random shit, basically.\r\n**The caveat is that there is no way to de-convert an arcane cultist, as they are just bumblefucks with magic, at the end of the day.  To counter that, there can only be a maximum of 3 actual arcane cultists at any time.**\r\n**Scaling being something like 1:15 players, with a cap of 3.**\r\n\r\nThe basic ritual would simply be making a portal to the Arcane Sanctum; a random box in the centcomm zlevel surrounded by \"excess mana\", with the Arcane Spellbook(a static object that can't be moved, so you have to read it and remember/screenshot it if you want to know what the fuck you're doing.)\r\nKeeping in line with cult memes, this cult will require runes, of course.  Except this ones will ACTUALLY BE CRAYON RUNES.\r\n\r\nThe difference about this cult is that their.. rituals would be multi-tile structures made up of things, rather than \"I make rune on floor\".\r\nThe arcane portal being:\r\n```\r\nCOC\r\nORO\r\nCOC\r\n```\r\nC being a lit candle, O being an empty space, or a blessed holy-water tile if want to be an ass, and R being a rune of any sort.  Activating that rune would create a portal that only the Arcane Nerds can see/use that leads to the Arcane Sanctum.\r\nAfter five minutes, a.. \"magical\" alert, would be sent to any silicons, alerting them to strange activity in that room.  This also has to be on the station Z-Level.  If the portal is disrupted, the exit portal at the sanctum gets redirected to the arrivals shuttle.\r\n\r\nAnd now we get onto their abilities.\r\nLet's say that 10 unique items are chosen at roundstart as their reagents for rituals.\r\nLet's say they have to make a..\r\n```\r\nGRO\r\nORO\r\nORO\r\n```\r\nG being one gold, R being reinforced metal/plasteel.   \r\nThat would make them an Arcane Staff.   And this staff would have 3 primary abilities, of magical nature.\r\nAttacking a wall with it will teleport you to the direct opposite side of that wall.  Including into space.\r\nActivating it in your hand will fire a single arcane magic missile at a target, which is basically a much faster magic missile, except this one doesn't stop until it hits the target.\r\nAttacking a person with it, turns them into a statue for a few seconds, before replacing them with an Arcane Golem. This golem has the objective of hoarding [resource list] to a specific room on the station.\r\nAfter two minutes of them being golems, they revert back to being normal, except they have residual arcane energies inside of them, causing certain items to sparkle a bit for them. And picking any of these items up will give them a prompt to take it to said specific room.\r\nKeep in mind these would all have cooldowns, maybe even share a cooldown, who knows.\r\n\r\nWin condition would be constructing a portal to the wizard academy.\r\nSomething that can't just be done at roundstart.  Maybe 3 of their 10 ingredients should be pretty hard to come by.\r\n\r\nThe arcane portal itself would be a 5x3 structure, which would have trouble fitting in quite a lot of places, and would take a while to actually magically assemble. cough prevent antags cough.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n**All in all, keep in mind that as they are wizards, they are immediently fair game.  Their only source of help is temporary and requires them to have access to both the sanctum, and the ingredients required to make the staff, and that this is all I have right now, but I think this idea has potential.  Fuck clockcult.**"}}
