The Homunculus Ritual allows the Target Spirit to siphon off some of their magical essence into a small doll in order to fuel certain protective capabilities. Upon a successful casting of this Ritual, the Target Doll and Target Spirit become connected, as per Spirit Lock. The presence of any other Rituals on the Target Doll, when this Ritual is cast, will result in the Ritual failing and causing a backlash. The Doll may not be targeted by any other non-Instantaneous Duration rituals while the Homunculus effect is present. These Rituals will automatically fail, but not necessarily backlash.

If a refusable ritual effect would target the user’s spirit, the user may destroy the Homunculus and call "Resist" to prevent the effect. Note that while some rituals are instantaneous, other effects are persistent (such as certain aspects of the Spirit Link ritual) and may attempt to target the user’s spirit again if interacted with a second time.

Additionally, at the start of every Logistics Period, the user may expend a memorized Celestial spell of 7th level or greater, and mark it off with an H on their battleboard, to gain one of the following abilities:

This ritual requires a minimum of 7 reagents to cast. Any additional reagents required by the ritual must be of the same types as listed on the ritual scroll.
