Arken Expedition 2 Dark Reflections

A threat marches from the mirror! After a year of study it has been revaeled that the mirror in Midrealm was not always a prison for the shapeshifter defeated last year but a path to a strange reflection of our world. A vanguard of ruthless raiders has already been pushed back and wards placed around the mirror to hold them back. However all these threaten to buckle when the time of year comes that the mirror's magic becomes most volitile. Mirrorguard keep is prepping for seige and Arken askes for aid from the heros of the realms to help stop this threat in this frigid time.

The mirror regionals from last year are returning as well as bows and javelins not breaking weapon restriction
1.Protection from missile as per the spell

2.Reflect: you may cast magic missile using npc props (Blue crochet balls)

3.Mirror Blade: any weapon up to 3'8" that you can wield within your spell restriction you may do so florentine without breaking restriction

4.Reflective allies: Any positive spell you cast on an ally is also applied to you (Heal limb, cure disease, etc)

Ritualist:
Play test mechanic
Anywhere where you have a regional slot, you may have a ritual instead.
A ritual can be done to simulate the effect of any spell of the same level once every so many minutes based on spell level. If you use a ritual to cast a spell with unlimited use, it will last for the duration of the ritual cooldown. At the end of the timer, you may choose to leave the effect ongoing, or to let it fade for a new spell. If you let the effect keep going, it will remain, unless you do another ritual to replace the effect.
If you ritual for a spell with limited uses, you get that many castings per ritual.
The player is responsible for all props needed for their spells.
The rituals may be done to any power source, but must attract the attention of the Magic Marshal without calling for them.
You can not use a ritual to cast the spell Cantrip or Implement
The Ritual Cooldown Table:
1st- 10 minutes
2nd- 20 minutes
3rd- 30 minutes
4th- 30 minutes
5th- 40 minutes
6th- 60 minutes
