Hekau Path of Celestial Magic
While this path seems, at first, the heavier to use, clever magicians aknowledge the powers of the Celestial Rituals, because by using this Path, they are able to influence and direct the natural forces, in scales never seen by True Mages.
Each Ritual takes a number of hours equal to its level to cast properly.

***** * : Enchant Obelisk
Difficulty:
Cost:
This Ritual permits the enchantment of Obelisk, which becomes, then a Sekhem attractor and mirror. This Ritual can't be used alone, as it only ensures that the Obelisk, if properly constructed (by mortals, or by the Path of Stone Shaping), will be able to generate a magical field around which the Sekhem will concentrate.
To properly use an Obelisk, one must have a prepared Pyramid, enchanted by the Ritual Enchant Pyramid, which will permit all the Obelisks enchanted to act as mirror, and sent to the Pyramid the concentrated Sekhem.
Remember that Sekhem is called also Quintessence, Tass, Chi or Vis. While this Ritual ensure that the energetic level of Sekhem is high around the Obelisk, it also protect this Sekhem, which can't be harvested! Only an enchanted Pyramid will be able to make use of this Sekhem. Destroying an Obelisk destroys the enchantment. Most Obelisks used in such ways were protected with Glyphs and Stone Shaping Rituals.
Note that it is not unknown, if no Pyramid is around to harvest the Sekhem, and if the number of magical mirrors is greater than 4, that some focal point appears, and so, an apparent source of Sekhem...

***** ** : Enchant Pyramid
Difficulty:
Cost:
This Ritual permits a properly built Pyramid (through mortal construction of Stone Shaping) to become the magical focal point of artificial (or natural) Sekhem sources. It is normally used in conjunction with the Ritual Enchant Obelisk. Depending in thaumaturgical variables, and by construction ones (like the height of the pyramid, the angle of its surfaces with the base, rigidity of the material used, etc.), a focal point, within the Enchanted Pyramid now becomes a spectacular source of Sekhem, even able to feed Ka of dead Mummies, feed the Rituals that regenerate their Ba and bodies, or even the greatest Celestial Magics without depleting.
Some wonder at the use of Cromlech, and other celtic construction, believing a similar Celestial Ritual could be used to enchant them in a similar (in lesser in scale and power) way.

This Ritual was searched for centuries by Set. Once it had protected the Sun. After his corruption, Set decided he would remove the Sun from the skies. Celestial Magick was all he needed to that. The problem is that when his Followers started to make important successes in his research, the Paradigm had changed. Now Ra wasn't only a ball of fire that had to be removed from the sky. It was now a very very great ball of fire in the middle of the stellar system. By physics' Paradigm, it would have needed a lot of energy to affect the sun. And soon after, the Technomancers made sure the sun was untouchable (No matter the magick, nothing can withstand 10.000.000 Degrees Celsius/Kelvin of the Sun's Core). For all their powers, the Kindred learnt then that sometimes, the Reality escaped even to them...
But believing the Setite would stoip their research is a grave error. They choose another theory: The Moon could be stopped in an eclipse position...
