− | Some psychic rituals have effects from low qualities that can be valuable. For example, a low quality [[Draw animals]] has a very high likelihood of drawing manhunters. Like normal manhunters, these animals will then proceed to attack any raiders on the map, essentially acting as a substitute [[psychic animal pulser]] for the cost of {{Icon small|bioferrite||10}} [[bioferrite]]. Similarly, low numbers of shamblers or fleshbeasts might be preferable when attempting to safely capture them. Shamblers hordes will frequently have a single member carrying a [[Shard]], which is likewise easier to get hold of from a smaller group. As many stats (noticeably [[Global Work Speed]]) are lowered for human pawns under the age of 18, not having the best possible Chronophagy ritual to prevent the Invoker from becoming too young might be preferable as well | + | Some psychic rituals have effects from low qualities that can be valuable.

As such it can be beneficial to have two psychic ritual sites - one with as many of the buffs as possible, and another with no buffs at all, and selecting which site to use depending on the desired outcome. This can be taken further by an invoker with low, but non-zero [[psychic sensitivity]]. A [[psychically deaf]] pawn equipped with a single item of [[prestige armor]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} has one the smallest non-zero psychic sensitivities with absolutely minimal equipment. | As such it can be beneficial to have two psychic ritual sites - one with as many of the buffs as possible, and another with no buffs at all, and selecting which site to use depending on the desired outcome.
