-POOL INVESTMENT
+### POOL INVESTMENT
 
 Some rituals might require the PCs to spend points from their Pools on each subtask, with Might representing blood or
 vitality, Speed representing energy, and Intellect representing will or sanity. Multiple PCs involved in the ritual
 could collectively contribute to this cost (and if a ritual costs many points, spreading out the cost in this way may be
 necessary to prevent a participating PC from dying during the ritual).
 
-ACCELERATED PERFORMANCE
+### ACCELERATED PERFORMANCE
 
 The GM may allow a character to speed up a ritual, reducing the time required for one or more subtasks. Generally,
 reducing a subtask's time by half should hinder the subtask, and reducing it by half again (reducing the time needed to
 a quarter of the normal amount) should hinder the subtask by an additional step (two steps total). The minimum amount of
 time for a subtask is 1 round (unless the subtask is routine, in which case the GM may allow it to take no time at all).

 The following are examples of common magical rituals suitable for many fantasy settings. Specific details of a ritual
 may vary depending on what the characters are trying to accomplish; for example, a ritual to ask a demon for a favor
 might be similar to one used to ask an angel, but the exact details are probably very different. Everything listed in a
 ritual is merely a suggestion, and the GM should alter, add, or remove whatever they like to suit their campaign.

 For ease of reference, the light delay table provides the time it takes light from the sun to each planet in our solar
 system, plus a few other notable locations. To figure light delays between two different locations, subtract the time
 delay of the object closer to the sun from the time delay of the object farther away. The difference is the light delay
 between those two locations. Double times for two-way communication

 effectively with foes that might otherwise be too potent.

 All cyphers have a level and an effect. The level sometimes determines an aspect of the cypher's power (how much damage

 The Level entry for a cypher is usually a die roll, sometimes with a modifier, such as 1d6 or 1d6 + 4. The GM can roll
 to determine the cypher's level, or can allow the player to roll when they receive the cypher.

 Some rituals might require the PCs to spend points from their Pools on each subtask, with Might representing blood or

 necessary to prevent a participating PC from dying during the ritual).

 The GM may allow a character to speed up a ritual, reducing the time required for one or more subtasks. Generally,
 reducing a subtask's time by half should hinder the subtask, and reducing it by half again (reducing the time needed to
 a quarter of the normal amount) should hinder the subtask by an additional step (two steps total). The minimum amount of
 time for a subtask is 1 round (unless the subtask is routine, in which case the GM may allow it to take no time at all).

 Ideally, as with a movie, the end of a Cypher Short session comes to a nice story conclusion (though not every ending
 needs to be a happy one). Hopefully, the main situation has been resolved one way or another, and the implications of
