-Ideally, the preparations involved in a Ritual prevent unusual occurrences. However, this is occasionally an inevitability. A failed [[priority:skills:spellcraft|Spellcraft]] check, the usage of Esoteric Components, or other interruptions to the Ritual may cause such events. When a Mishap or Anomaly occurs, the GM rolls on the appropriate table, and then reveals the results. In rare cases, Anomalies and Mishaps can both occur, or even multiples of these effects can take place.+Ideally, the preparations involved in a Ritual prevent unusual occurrences. However, this is occasionally an inevitability. A failed [[priority:skills:spellcraft|Spellcraft]] check, the usage of Esoteric Components, or other interruptions to the Ritual may cause such events. When a Mishap or Anomaly occurs, the GM rolls on the appropriate table, and then reveals the results. In rare cases, Anomalies and Mishaps can both occur, or even multiples of these effects can take place. Consult each result to determine if the original purpose of the Ritual successfully occurs or fails.
