Far Caster
Mages with Far Caster (X,Y) can cast Rituals from the Paths of "X" up to "Y" provinces further.
This also helps in Combat; each point of "Y" increases your Range with spells from "X" by 25%. This doesn't improve Precision, however.
Some Examples:
The
Arch Mage has
Far Caster (Elements, 1), so he can cast




Rituals 1 province further, & spells with 25% more range.
The
Master Enchanter has
Far Caster (Sorcery, 1), so he can cast




Rituals 1 province further, & spells with 25% more range.
The
Maharishi has
Far Caster (Astral, 2), so he can cast

Rituals
2 provinces further, & spells with
50% more range.

The
Far Caster Bless provides
Far Caster 2 for all paths (
including 
), but
only in battle.
