At the point in the [[Conclave session]] where the civil service invite the magician raising the Declaration to present it, that magician must present a completed formulaic ritual text for the named ritual. If they cannot hand over the ritual text at the start of the Declaration then the agenda item is immediately cancelled and matters move to the next item.

			The civil service will hold the ritual text throughout the declaration. The civil service will ''not'' pause the Conclave session to allow examination of the ritual text - but any [[grandmaster]] may send a single representative to examine the text in the minute after the presentation is complete or ''while'' the Declaration is debated. Given the time constraints it is advisable for the magician raising the Declaration to ensure the grandmasters are already familiar with the ritual text before Conclave begins.

In the event that the ritual text is illegal in some fashion - if it draws power from an [[eternal]] under [[Alignment#Enmity\|enmity]] for example, or is currently [[interdiction\|interdicted]] - the Civil Service will ensure the magistrates are informed after the Conclave session. ''However'' the successful Declaration of Imperial Lore still stands; the otherwise illegal ritual will still be added to Imperial lore.

This page is about the [[declaration]] by the [[Imperial Conclave]]. For details of Imperial lore and the ritual list see [[Formulaic ritual#Imperial Lore and the Ritual List|formulaic ritual]].
==Overview==
Rituals that are part of [[Formulaic_ritual#Imperial_Lore_and_the_Ritual_List|Imperial lore]] are widely available to any Imperial citizen. Any Imperial magician can learn to [[Rituals#Basic_Rules|master]] a [[formulaic ritual]] that is part of Imperial lore, making the ritual significantly easier and cheaper to cast.

New rituals are added to Imperial lore by this declaration. The declaration instructs the civil service to arrange for a specific ritual text to be duplicated and disseminated to magicians across the Empire, adding it to the body of Imperial lore that is available to every citizen.

==Declaration==
The ritual to be included in Imperial lore must be explicitly named as part of the declaration. At the point in the [[Conclave session]] where the civil service invite the magician raising the declaration to present it, that magician must present a completed formulaic ritual text for the named ritual. If they cannot hand over the ritual text at the start of the declaration then the agenda item is immediately cancelled and matters move to the next item.

==Resolution==
To be successful a declaration of Imperial lore requires two additional criteria to be met.
* A [[Formulaic_ritual#Ritual_Texts|ritual text]] detailing the ritual must be provided to the civil service. The ritual text is expended as part of the process of disseminating the ritual.
* Ten thrones to pay for distribution of the ritual ('''OOC:''' These funds should be placed in the inventory of a character, who should email plot@profounddecisions.co.uk with details of their CID and the ritual being paid for after the event.)
