Imperfect Ritual	comment	A mighty incantation calls for Eye of Newt, ox blood, the tail of a scorpion, the head of a hydra, and a Virgin Sacrifice. But will a Technical Virgin do instead? Can a Wholesome Crossdresser fill in for a ritual leader of the specified gender?note Though if they turn out to be transgender instead of a mere crossdresser, they might actually pull off the ritual and become a Supernaturally-Validated Trans Person. And what happens if some meddler switches out the hydra head for a mere snake's? Ritual Magic can be a tricky thing, with lots of opportunities to go wrong. Maybe one or two ingredients are missing, or were replaced with inferior substitutes. Maybe the proper ritual master isn't available, or there aren't enough people to chant around the pentagram. Maybe the designated sacrificial knife rusted away centuries ago and the cult leader is using something they bought at a department store. Or maybe The Hero managed to sabotage the ritual by swapping out one component for another. At any rate, the flawed ritual still goes through — and if it's an evil ritual, because You Can't Thwart Stage One. But, because the ingredients weren't just right, the summoned creature or whatever has some Weaksauce Weakness or Achilles' Heel to be exploited. If the heroes were the ones to cause the imperfection, this allows them a chance at victory even if the villains otherwise succeeded with their plans. In other cases, an imperfect ritual is just be a sign of the initiator's incompetence, or that they're dealing with powers they weren't supposed to. When it's the heroes who are trying to perform the ritual rather than the villains, that ritual would be their Plan B Resolution. Compare and contrast Gone Horribly Wrong and Gone Horribly Right, for specific experiments with disastrous consequences. Compare Unfinished, Untested, Used Anyway as well.

The spell works and he brings the giant to life. However, because of the smurf berries used in the ritual, the giant is kind and friendly and has a love for smurf berry pies.

Amongst his many mistakes was using his own blood; had he used any more of it than he already had, he and Xuriel would've been forcibly fused together. Xuriel is so outraged by his incompetence that she gets him blacklisted, ensuring that no other demons or extraplanar beings will answer any of his summoning spells.

Imperfect Ritual / int_136342f1	comment	Subverted, as usual. Wizard magic is often done with an elaborate ritual, but most of that is just for looks. Mort provides the example of the Rite of Ashk'Ente, which only needs one wizard, three bits of wood, and a fresh egg. If you haven't got a fresh egg, a mouse will do. But wizards generally feel that if they don't have eight archmages chanting at the corners of an octagram filled with occult paraphernalia, you aren't doing it properly. Witches are more practical; they're not above doing something impressive for headological purposes, but when nobody's watching, they will take whatever shortcuts are available.

The ritual's actual intent was to harvest the mana from a large number of humans to charge the Philosopher's Stone, with the Phantoms being a side effect. The ritual's conductor figures out that he needs four other wizards to serve as anchors to stabilize it, with most of the show being his scheme to gather them.

Imperfect Ritual / int_21810fae	comment	RainbowDoubleDash's Lunaverse: The non-canon story Nightmares Yet to Come, starting off as it does as an homage to Past Sins, has an evil not-a-cult performing some ritual on Trixie and Twilight Sparkle, which from the description involves some Mind Rape, ending when a very angry Princess Luna crashes it, resulting in an alicorn filly some hours later (one who looks like a smaller version of another alicorn Trixie and Twilight had run into before - long story). Evidently this wasn't anywhere near what the not-a-cult had been planning, since they're as surprised as anyone when they learn what happened. Later on in the story, a flashback shows the not-a-cult doing... something undefined but undeniably sinister to another pony, only to be interrupted when the one casting the spell starts Fighting from the Inside, allowing their would-be victim to escape.

Joe: A Real American Hero story "Arise, Serpentor, Arise", Dr. Mindbender plans to replace the incompetent Cobra Commander by creating an ideal leader, the eponymous Serpentor, through gene splicing. To that end, he collects DNA from the tombs of some of the most notorious rulers and conquerors in history. However, when his plan to gain the DNA of Sun Tzu, an important part of the formula (the legendary general's strategic genius necessary to prevent having a leader who'd be worse than Cobra Commander) failed, he later tried to replace it with Sergeant Slaughter's DNA, but holding Slaughter hostage to do so enabled him to interrupt the experiment and destroy his own sample. When Serpentor awoke, he proved to be barely better than Cobra Commander was, and in many ways, far more careless and reckless.

However, the ritual has to be performed exactly as transcribed or there will be terrible, unmentioned consequences. Shredder manages to stay one step ahead of his foes, and almost completes the ritual; however, at the very last word of the ritual, Splinter bursts in and yells "STOP". This causes the magic portal to open to Dimension Stop as opposed to X, where an Eldritch Abomination resides.

Aside from causing the Ten-Tails to resurrect in an imperfect form that needed time to fully mature (and with the said imperfect form being powerful enough to easily take on the heroes on its own anyways), it worked flawlessly, so it was ultimately just a way to reach the climax without having to kill off Naruto and Killer Bee.

Roy Mustang refuses to perform it to become the fifth, even under severe coercion, so Pride literally forces him to by puppeting his limbs. This doesn't make any difference in the ritual itself, but was kept as a last resort because Pride was significantly weakened by doing so. Weaponized by Scar. A core alchemy concept is understanding-decomposition-reconstruction, or breaking matter down so you can rebuild it as you want; The tattoo on his right arm (which used to belong to his big brother) allows him to perform limited alchemy, up to decomposition, meaning he can destroy anything he touches. In the finale, he inscribes his left arm to perform reconstruction as well.

Because of this, when Goodbody drunk his elixir after adding the feather, he ended up looking like Herb.

Imperfect Ritual / int_43576f5	comment	On Supernatural, spells and rituals usually require exact components and execution, and improvising can be dangerous. In one instance, a hunter followed instructions and repeatedly stabbed a rare monster with a special mystical dagger, but was wrong about how many times he had to stab it. The monster revived, but luckily Bobby discovered that putting it through a wood chipper negates the need for an elaborate killing ritual. In another instance, Sam and Dean are going against two powerful witches. They try to use a spell against the witches, but it requires chicken feet. All they can get on short notice are frozen chicken feet. In the end, it is left ambiguous whether the substitution broke the spell or whether the witches were just too powerful to be harmed by it.

Imperfect Ritual / int_468bebb0	comment	Discworld: Subverted, as usual. Wizard magic is often done with an elaborate ritual, but most of that is just for looks. Mort provides the example of the Rite of Ashk'Ente, which only needs one wizard, three bits of wood, and a fresh egg. If you haven't got a fresh egg, a mouse will do. But wizards generally feel that if they don't have eight archmages chanting at the corners of an octagram filled with occult paraphernalia, you aren't doing it properly. Witches are more practical; they're not above doing something impressive for headological purposes, but when nobody's watching, they will take whatever shortcuts are available. Inverted in Guards! Guards!: the Elucidated Brethren of the Ebon Night are trying to summon a dragon, and the cult leader orders the brethren to find magical objects to sacrifice. They come up with really low-grade magical junk, like a still-fizzing letter from a bar and an amulet the Snake Oil Salesman swore was magical. It works, but the summoned dragon only lasts for a few seconds before vanishing.

They assume the ritual must have been botched somehow, but don't know how. It's eventually revealed that they didn't get anything wrong, and the ritual worked perfectly. The problem is that it summoned the real Overlord Zenon, whereas the villain they want to kill is an imposter who adopted the amnesiac, reincarnated Zenon as his daughter. In order to summon "the strongest demon", Adell needs the fingernail of an Overlord. He asks Etna (who previously slaughtered him and his party in a Hopeless Boss Fight) for one of hers. She gives him a fake nail, because she's a demon and therefore a Jerkass. As a result, the ritual summons Etna herself, reduced to level 1.

Instead of using sugar, spice, and everything nice, they use artificial sweetener, twigs, and random stuff that they like. The result is a giant-sized, mentally handicapped Powerpuff Girl Bunny, who later explodes because she's unstable. In "Knock It Off", one-shot villain Professor Dick Harvey learns the formula used to make the girls and starts mass producing Powerpuff Girls in order to sell around the world. In order to increase his profit margin, he cuts down on the sugar used, resulting in the copies looking horribly disfigured and eventually falling apart. This didn't bother Dick, however, as it just meant his customers had to keep on buying.

Imperfect Ritual / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons: In D&D, improperly marking part of a summoning diagram allowed any creature summoned by that diagram to attack its summoner. An old piece of Dragon magazine art had a demon holding a magic-user in a Neck Lift over the diagram used to summon it. The demon is pointing to the diagram and saying "Missed a spot." Dragon magazine #147 article "Variety, the Spice of Magic". This article explains what happens when a spellcaster uses an incorrect material component to cast a spell. Effects include halving the range, area of effect, or duration of the spell or increasing the target's saving throw (chance to reduce or negate the spell). The 3.5th Edition Tome of Magic explains that the half-fiendish lich Acererak, the one who built the Tomb of Horrors, planned to use a ritual to merge with the Negative Energy Plane to attain godlike powers and the ability to control any undead on any plane. Unfortunately, Acererak's command of the dark arts attracted mortals who began to worship him, and then adventurers managed to disrupt his ritual at the last moment. Normally, Acererak's soul would have been consigned to the Abyss, but his followers' worship had given him some measure of divinity, and his soul had a stronger connection to the Negative Energy Plane, which isn't a proper afterlife. With nowhere for his soul to go, Acererak became a vestige, an entity beyond the normal definitions of life and death. Another vestige from the Tome of Magic is Zagan, what remains of a lord from an ancient yuan-ti empire. He aspired for godhood, and with his servants came up with a ritual that would allow him to ascend. At the designated time, he gathered thousands of slaves and basked in their worship, feeling it empower him. Then he ordered his warriors to begin slaying those slaves, and felt things start to go wrong - each death weakened him. Before he could stop the slaughter, he was backstabbed by a cleric of the World Serpent, who had set up the whole ritual just to deny Zagan his ascension. Since he died somewhere between mortal and divinity, Zagan was left a vestige. In the 5th edition adventure The Rise of Tiamat, the Cult of the Dragon is trying to summon Tiamat into the physical world. If their ritual goes off without a hitch, the players will find themselves facing an unstoppable monster of a foe that can probably wipe out the entire party in a single round. Fortunately, the players can sabotage the ritual in various ways, with each successful bit of sabotage cumulatively weakening Tiamat. The lich Vecna devised a ritual by which he could reach godhood. In the middle of the ritual, however, his traitorous lieutenant Kas betrayed and attempted to murder him. The ritual still succeeded, with Vecna becoming a god, but he lost an eye and his left hand in the fighting, and because that happened during the ritual, he seems completely unable to regenerate them, even with his divine power.

However, it turns out that the sacks contained a sleeping potion to keep a giant the ancient Gummis had defeated asleep every year, and without its annual dose, the giant awoke. Oops. Throughout the series, the recipe for Gummi Berry juice has been shown to be very delicate, and the ingredients need to be precisely right in order for it to work correctly, otherwise the effects are completely random at best or the juice is explosively unstable at worst. Grammi tends to invoke this whenever Igthorn tries to get the recipe from her, such as one time when the juice caused him and his ogres to inflate like balloons.

When the spell doesn't work, a now awake Uncle explains that he meant "hair of ewe" (a female sheep). Fortunately, a thread from Uncle's sweater does the trick. In "Shrink Rap", Jackie and Hak Foo get shrunk down to tiny size as a result of Jade attempting to make Hak Foo vanish with a disappearing spell. Unaware they had actually been shrunk, Uncle and the others keep casting spells to try to bring Jackie back unsuccessfully until he realizes that the spell book had two pages stuck together and Jade had inadverently used half of one spell and half of another. In the first half of the Grand Finale Tohru whips up a potion to prevent Drago from absorbing the demon powers of his aunts and uncles, but the last ingredient must be a piece of Drago himself. Jade substitutes a piece of Drago's father Shendu instead. But we never get to see if it works, because Drago manages to go One-Winged Angel too quickly.

The ritual requires a piece of silver to keep the evil spirit powerless, and she tried to use silverware (a spoon). The protagonist tries the same thing in the climax, but realizes just in time that the spoon is made of steel (which is why the ritual failed) and substitutes it with his silver necklace. This time the ritual works and the spirit is sealed, which allows the ghost girl to pass on peacefully.

Luckily for humanity, his substituting a modified soul gem for the Heart of Lorkhannote since the Nerevarine unbinding the enchantments on the Heart in Morrowind caused it disappear means the ritual only makes him vanish. Afterwards you gain the ability to summon a ghostly, groaning version of the mage to fight for you.

Imperfect Ritual / int_9d8c87d8	comment	Immediately after the events of Weekend at Bernie's, some of the titular corpse's criminal allies realize that they killed him before actually learning the location of the money he embezzled at the beginning of the movie. In desperation, they contract a voodoo priestess to re-animate Bernie and locate the money. For some reason, she then mind-jobs two stupid crooks into traveling to New York to do so. Those two idiots then enact the trope, losing the chicken they hauled all the way from the Virgin Islands and substituting a locally-caught pigeon. As a result, the re-animated Bernie can only walk towards the treasure when there's music playing.

The first time, Blaine takes one of the amulets to try to do it himself and just sets off a small explosion. The second time, Blaine does it by himself again with a partial form of the ritual, resulting in becoming the only anchor for magic, a state that will kill him if left uncorrected. They do it properly on the third attempt, spreading the anchoring across himself and twelve of his allies.

Supposedly, one box can destroy the world, one can destroy the opener of the box, and one lets the user remake the world as they see fit. Two different wizards try to open the box using guidelines from the books. The first, after heavy research is sure he picked correctly, only to die. The second, after finding several false copies of the Book, opens the book according to the words of a Confessor, since all copies agree that only the Confessor can give the validity of the copy of the Book of Counted Shadows. However, she also dies. The Boxes of Orden predate Confessors, so this entire idea is nonsense, and there is no correct Book of Counted Shadows. It turns out that actually having a Seeker know how to use the negative and positive sides of his sword are actually the key to the boxes.

Imperfect Ritual / int_b9b796cf	comment	Fate/stay night: Rin Tohsaka, a mage girl of renowned pedigree and one of the three potential love interests of the Visual Novel, summons Archer as her heroic spirit, a Servant to fight alongside in the upcoming Holy Grail War. She's not too happy about that, since she was gunning for a better, Saber spirit, and for that purpose made sure each aspect of the ritual was perfect. And then she screwed up the time, forgetting her house clock being one hour off. It turns out to be Zig-Zagged. First, it's subverted in that it turns out that timing the ritual wrong didn't matter and summoning at the right time wouldn't have made a difference. Which is then Double Subverted because it turns out that this is because there was another imperfection in her summoning ritual (at least from the perspective of trying to summon a Saber) - Rin's largest mana gem was, unbeknownst to her, a catalyst for the Archer servant she did summon, and as such, so long as it was on her person or reasonably close to her, she never could have summoned any other Servant, no matter what she did. This is in turn subverted because even if Rin hadn't been carrying that mana gem, Archer also had the same gem and thus he had a catalyst tying him to Rin as a Master, thus ensuring that when Rin summoned a Servant, even if she had lost the gem, she would have summoned Archer no matter what she did. The entire Holy Grail War system by the time of Fate Zero has degenerated into this. The original system the current one is a copy of was modeled after summoning heroes to defeat Beasts representing Evils of humanity. Due to the three families focusing more on either destroying each other or their own selfish goals, the ritual is permanently corrupted. This is why In-Universe Chaotic Evil Servants like Caster of Fate Zero or Rider of Fate Stay Night could be summoned. And the original wish is impossible to make—any wish made on the corrupt Grail will backfire.

Unfortunately, Acererak's command of the dark arts attracted mortals who began to worship him, and then adventurers managed to disrupt his ritual at the last moment. Normally, Acererak's soul would have been consigned to the Abyss, but his followers' worship had given him some measure of divinity, and his soul had a stronger connection to the Negative Energy Plane, which isn't a proper afterlife. With nowhere for his soul to go, Acererak became a vestige, an entity beyond the normal definitions of life and death.

It works, but not well. This decision comes back to bite the Doctor in the Key 2 Time audio trilogy. During these audios, the Fifth Doctor is called upon to reassemble the six segments of the Key, as they have begun to decay and damage reality around them. This is explained to the Doctor as the result of him using a fake sixth segment to assemble the key, with the result that the balance between the segments was disrupted, requiring him to bring the segments together so that the Key can be destroyed before the damage to reality becomes irreparable. The official-ish book The Doctor: His Lives and Times takes it further, suggesting that even before reality started to fray, the imperfect ritual increased universal entropy, leading to the events of "Logopolis". The Fourth Doctor's shortcut is, indirectly, what killed him.

Imperfect Ritual / int_e9e265b6	comment	Fire Emblem: Awakening: The Big Bad needs the titular Fire Emblem for a resurrection ritual. In the game's climax, the Player Character manages to swap out some of the Fire Emblem's jewels with fakes, rendering it useless. Unfortunately, the Hierophant jumps in to use their power to complete the Awakening ritual anyway, Out-Gambitting the player avatar.

Imperfect Ritual / int_f04d0f2b	comment	Heretic II: The cause of the entire mess. A ritual was done to transform an entire race into immortal physical gods (as opposed to practically immortal physical near-gods, which they already were). Unfortunately, the ritualmaster found out that one of the seven required Tomes of Power were missing (having been taken off-world by the protagonist of the game back in the first Heretic) and tried to substitute a duplicate, to... unfortunate result. The final boss, said ritualmaster driven insane by the flawed ritual, is defeated and the plague cured by doing the ritual properly.

Imperfect Ritual / int_f3ef0f86	comment	The fifth Artemis Fowl book finds the protagonists in deep trouble on an island that is becoming Unstuck in Time and rapidly disintegrating. To save the island and everyone on it, they need to complete a ritual that was meant for seven demon warlocks. They pull it off, though not flawlessly, with two warlocks (an elderly master and a rookie), an elfin police officer, a non-warlock demon, and a human, Artemis himself — the latter two of whom managed to steal magic during a previous escapade.

Alongside genetic samples from the strongest and most fierce creatures in the universe, Dr. Jumbaa Jookiba accidentally included some from puppy, resulting in Stitch being the Adorable Abomination he's known as.

Imperfect Ritual / int_f68827dd	comment	In My Little Pony: The Movie (1986), the witches create Smooze, a giant mass of sentient, evil slime. It is supposed to be unstoppable, but Draggle and Reeka didn't bring floom (blood/sap from a triffid expy — they were too afraid to go get it) and hide the fact from their mother, Hydia. This weakens the Smooze enough for the Rainbow of Light to fight it off the first time around, allowing the heroes enough time to go on their quest to find help.

Imperfect Ritual / int_f74b5f80	comment	Babylon 5: in the episode "By Any Means Necessary", Londo buys the last rare G'Quan Eth plant for sale on Babylon 5 before G'Kar can. G'Kar needs it for an important religious ceremony that must be held annually when the Narn sun falls directly behind a certain mountain on the Narn homeworld. Londo eventually lets G'Kar have the plant (after using it for recreational drug purposes), supposedly too late for the ceremony — but Sinclair convinces G'Kar that since his home sun's light continues to travel through space, and Babylon 5 lay almost exactly 10 Narn light-years from Narn, that the light that hit the mountain in the proper position 10 years ago would be the same light that would just now be hitting Babylon 5, so the ceremony could still theoretically go on at the station.

After helping her gather the listed ingredients, Ash volunteers to let the spell be cast on him, with it ending up turning him into Pikachu. Lily then looks back over her spell book to discover there was another page of instructions to the spell, but it was so smudged that it couldn't be read.

This results in the dinosaur behaving like a dog.

Unfortunately he didn't bother to study the Ophidians' culture, which revolved around the opposed philosophies of Order and Chaos finding Balance - until Order defeated Chaos in a war and the civilization collapsed from the resulting Imbalance. So Batlin tries to use a magic staff devoted to Chaos to open a portal set up by the forces of Order, which ends poorly for him, and everyone else in Serpent Isle.

Guards!: the Elucidated Brethren of the Ebon Night are trying to summon a dragon, and the cult leader orders the brethren to find magical objects to sacrifice. They come up with really low-grade magical junk, like a still-fizzing letter from a bar and an amulet the Snake Oil Salesman swore was magical. It works, but the summoned dragon only lasts for a few seconds before vanishing.

Imperfect Ritual / int_ff0a2457	comment	The Greenhouse: Many of the problems the main characters face can be traced back to the mage who originally summoned 'Red'. She was angry enough to open a door to a circle of hell and let the strongest demon on the other side fight its way through, angry enough to promise her soul as the price for favors delivered... but partway through she decided not to go through with it, for reasons unknown. Instead, she bound the incomplete demon 'Red' into a nearby mirror with a blood curse, and left it behind when she moved out. And that's all we know about her.
