==Forbidden Rituals==
At 1st level, you gain a Ritual Book, containing forbidden knowledge. Upon study of your ritual book, it reveals knowledge of two 1st-level spells with the Ritual tag; Each time you gain a level in a class,  you can add 1 spell with the Ritual tag to your ritual book for free. These rituals can be from any class list, but must be of a level you have access to, as determined by your Cardinal level and the table below:

You can cast spells inscribed in your Ritual Book as rituals; You cannot cast them except as rituals, unless you know them by other means. 

If you come across a spell in written form, such as a magical spell scroll or a wizard's spellbook, you might be able to add it to your ritual book; The spell must have the ritual tag. The process of copying the spell into your ritual book takes 2 hours per level of the spell, and costs 50 gp per spell level. The cost represents the material components you expend as you experiment with the spell to master it, as well as the fine inks you need to record it.
