Invocations
Rituals can only target humans. Rituals allow spirits to imbue humans with a great deal of power while they stay on their Node. Only really usable by level 6 spirits.
Invocation trees are generally laid out like this: Level 1 is a unique power. Level two gives an extra skill retest for the attached skills. Level 3 a Discipline retest. Level 4 a Unique Power. Level 5 Unique. Level 6's can only be used by Spirits of Rank 5 or 6.
General Invocation:
1: Manifest The spirit leaves the middle umbra and enters the material plane. Costs committed essence equal to rank or age whatever's higher.
A spirit can only take one Invocation tree from each pair of invocations. They can learn both skill trees of that invocation. So an earth spirit might have both earth 5 powers but won't have sky powers. Each selection also allows the Spirit to perform parlor tricks like lighting fires. Flickering lights.
