| − | == The Theory ==
  |   | 
| − | 
  |   | 
| − | The theory is that rituals have different gp costs for performing/rod bestowing/ward bestowing. It has been noticed that some rituals have drastically different gp costs. This experiment attempts to record the costs for all three scenarios.

| − | == The methods ==

| − | 
  |   | 
| − | Ritual assistance is set at 0% throughout.

  |   | 
| − | '''The combat method''': Get in a fight, with neutral tactics, and record the gp drop (adjusting for regen)
  |   | 
| − | 
  |   | 
| − | '''The deity points method''': meditate on obsecration, do something, meditate again. Record personal DP drop (adjusted for +5dp)

  |   | 
| − | I used the combat method for performing and warding; the deity point method for rod bestowing.
  |   | 
| − | 
  |   | 
| − | As for location, I did the performing tests at a location south of Ankh-Morpork, where no modifiers appeared, since performance gp is affected by those modifiers.

  |   | 
| − | 
  |   | 
| − | Cost to bestow (rod and ward) is the same as cost to perform, in most cases.

  |   | 
| − | Perhaps Endless Halls is buggy?
