New Componant System!

This change was intended to effect Ceremonies in the same way as Sorcery. Perhaps I did not word it as such.

It's impossible for it to effect ceremonies in the same way as sorcery, because sorcery has generic components (and now none for low ranks) and ceremonies still has rare components even for our first ranks. Although I'd be happy to see it change. *nudge nudge* 

IIRC Ceremonies start with rare components (labeled as such in the descriptor) at R III.  What they have at lower levels are "named" components. 

When purchasing some IG from a traveling NPC merchant I received, a set of generics (which I was told would work for any component listed as "component" and a selection of specifics (actually listed under "Components - Rare), such as "tears of sorrow from an archbishop."  Some confusion seems to attach as in Ceremonies, the "generic" components are specifically named (i.e., abdomen of a black widow spider) while in sorcery they are not.

Ah yes, the named vs. rare was my confusion, thank you!

I have to apologize to ceremonialists. I realize your list can feel like the redheaded step child. I promise well fix that when we get to working on higher lists.

Whenever there is a fundamental fix to sorcery, it should also be mimicked to ceremonies (Most of the time), as they are supposed to use the same basic system outline. Those who cast 1st and 2nd rank ceremonies are meant to be able to buy generic ceremonial components, and not have to rely on specific named ones... just like sorcery. 

If it is not like this now, and someone who plays a ceremonialist would like to take a stab at sending me an edit to the components list, e-mail it to me directly and I will see about applying a hotfix.

These should all be in the Online Rulebook now.  If I missed something, please post here to let me know.
