Harry's summoning circle

<< < (3/3)

Deadmanwalking:
Re-read Ritual under Thaumaturgy, p. 266-267. You can easily re-use Ritual components without having to spend Fate Points, because of how rituals work. It's the time and prep-work that cost, not using the Aspects. Look at Sells Heart-Exploding Spell or the Ritual Entropy Curse, both of those re-use the same Aspects over and over again, for the most part at no cost, or they couldn't do the spell at all. I see no reason Harry couldn't arrange one with his Summoning Citcle every time he's got the time to prep, he'd only need to burn a fate point in very rushed situations (where he had to use it as a scene Aspect instad of a ritual component). Which is, I think, what iago was saying.

KOFFEYKID:
Say a demon breaks into your house and you are forced to use the circle in your basement lab for protection (AKA, I dont want to be eaten by a demon), you'll have to use a fate point to invoke the scene aspect (Summoning Circle in my Basement).

If you are casting a ritual summoning, its a component of the spell, no fate points spent.

Mattastic:
Harry's circle used to be silver. I think he even had an iron and silver one at some point.
The new one from the fae smith that costs $5K is from Changes and is new.

IIRC, it was copper, got upgraded to silver, went back to being copper again, then we got the deluxe version in CHANGES.

I think the Cu-Ag-Cu up/downgrade was a Jimslip.

Sebastian:
Despite the workout it got with the binder, investing that much money in a circle seems slightly wasteful at the moment :)
