@eriktd I am all for being a part of the same ritual, whatever that means for the backstories. Having precampaign connections between characters will make for a more interesting story.
I haven't spent much time thinking about the specifics of the ritual, I just want it to act as the catalyst for Zeno's magical abilities. There are lots of ways that could have happened and I wanted to wait to see what traits everyone else wanted before working on that bit.
