This is another alchemical concept, that rituals and the divine forces can be manipulated to their advantage. Though thematically this mechanic will focus more on divine tribute to gain reward.

This is to showcase using bits to create new things and improve others. It's a bit like haunt and graft together, but simpler, since it modifies everything.

In card text or details pages, write the mechanic's code name (playtest name) between square brackets, like "[Crittercast]", "[Bushido 1]" or "[Delay 4 {2}{R}{R}]". It will be expanded to the mechanic's name plus reminder text, such as "Suspend 4 – {2} {r} {r} . (Rather than cast this spell from your hand,...)"
To expand a mechanic's name but not its reminder text, include parentheses at the end of the square brackets: "[Crittercast()]", "[Delay 9 {R}()]".
