Catalysts Throughout the Mists

Formalists across Fortannis,

Ever since I became a ritualist, catalysts have been a subject of interest for me. The scrolls we casters utilize remain the same from land to land, and yet the items of power necessary to unlock the scrolls' potential can vary so greatly depending on where you are in Fortannis.

So, as a simple matter of interest in magic throughout the Mists, I ask you: What catalysts hold power within your homeland? What catalyst does it take in your lands to successfully cast a...

Banish to Other Plane?
Bountiful Harvest?
Conjure Artifact?
Construct?
Controlled Spirit Store?
Copy Formal Scroll?
Destroy Magic?
Eternal Forest?
Gift of Life?
Master Construct?
Obfuscate?
Obliterate?
Permanent Duration?
Planar Gate?
Proscribe?
Racial Transformation?
Regeneration?
Spirit Forge?
Stable Foundation?
Summon Elemental (Foundation)?
Summon Elemental (Magistarium)?
Summon Extraplanar Creature?
Summon Explaplanar Creature (Pantherghast)?
Summon Magical Creature?
Transfer Enchantment?

If you felt like sharing with me, my curiosity thanks you greatly. Of course, you need not know all the catalysts for the above rituals - if you just know a handful, that's entirely welcome.

May your Words have Power and your Memories be Knowledge,

Greetings Magister Ravenscroft

I have compiled a list of catalysts found within the Land of Calliphestus or the Kingdom of Andar (OOG: Seattle). There are a few catalysts with unknown associated rituals, as well as a few rituals whose scrolls have not been seen so their respective catalysts have not been ascertained; or at least I have not been informed.

This list has been made publicly available to those who visit the Libraries of Calliphestus/Andar. The list was initially created and maintained by the Brotherhood of the Star, and my personal master list is held within my tower in a pocket mist realm.

Below is my list.

For the Kingdom of Sedovia (OOG: Oregon), I am only aware of the catalysts for eight rituals, but one of which was told to me third-hand:

Code: 
Scroll Name                                     Catalyst
Banish to < Other Plane >-----------------------Ectoplasmic Residue
Bountiful Harvest-------------------------------Cocoon of a Spring's First Butterfly
Copy Formal Scroll------------------------------Ancient Quill

Haven of the Living/Domain of the Defiled-------A Perfect Alexandrite
Obfuscate---------------------------------------A Perfect Rose
Proscribe---------------------------------------Petrified Bones of a King
Summon Extra Planar Creature--------------------Maelstorm Waters

Code: 
Catalyst to unknown ritual:

I hope this helps start your library of catalysts and I wish you the best of luck in compiling a complete tome on Fortannis Catalysts.

Master Alavatar,

The Bountiful Harvest ritual in the Ceriopolis requires the Cocoon of Spring's First Butterfly.

Zeth,

You are referencing Durnic's dreaming in the lands of Sedovia, not Ceriopolis. The Cocoon is already listed by Alavatar.

Thanks you, Magister Ravenscroft, for sharing your list. I find it most intriguing. I have added an entry in my library for the catalysts of the Sheltered Lands to ensure we have redundancy. Perhaps one day I will be able to venture to the Sheltered Lands. Lately, I find myself traveling in search of greater tutelage so it may be a few years before I can venture beyond Sedovia.

And thank you, Dominei Luke, for filling in a few of the missing pieces to the puzzle. I have incorporated the information into my library.

There are still a host of lands and rituals that need their catalysts identified and appropriately logged. I look forward to seeing the mages of other lands contribute to this sharing of knowledge.

Alavatar Peece the Red Wizard
 
Formalists across Fortannis,

We have made good progress so far, but there are still many known lands that haven't had anyone speak up with what I am certain they must know. Anyone from Ashbury that wants to contribute? Wayside? Valdanis? Asyl? The Deadlands? Acarthia? Caldaria? Barran? Calandonia?

May your Words have Power and your Memories be Knowledge,
~ Gandian
 
Hello Fellows across the Realms,

Though I myself am not any form of ritualist, I can see what I can do to put the word out with in Wayside and its adventurers. Perhaps for my own sake and those in Wayside I will start keeping a list of such things when I come across them. I wish everyone the best of luck.

May the best days be upon you in all matters you must attend to.

Note that the Andarian/Ceriopolis catalysts listed for Channel and Expanded Enchantment are for their Ritual counterparts, such as imbuing a dagger with Spellstrike Regenerate once per day or charging a pendant with the ability to Activate Destroy Magic three times per day. They are not catalysts for the normal, expected Channel and Expanded Enchantment. That is why they are listed as "Channel Ritual" or "Expanded Enchantment Ritual".

Just in case anyone thought Andar/Ceriopolis required a Heart of a Dragon to make a Spellstrike Life. I wanted to make it clear that is not the case. Creating a Spellstrike Life in Andar/Ceriopolis does not require a catalyst.

Alavatar Peece the Red Wizard
 
Dearest Magister Gandian Ravenscroft,
Eric Marsters, one of the adventurers in wayside, has asked me to ask you to send him a pigeon. He says he would be happy to hear from you and share his research. But with all the turmoil in Garden on his last visit He didn't know where to send a message to reach you.

Thank you and may the best of days be upon you in all matters you must attend to.
