[[Investiture]] is a Ritual that must be performed upon a person while present in the [[Circle of Power]] into which the person is to be [[Invested]]. An Invested member of a Circle of Power can walk in and out of the Circle unimpeded at any time, unless that member is unconscious (or conscious yet unwilling). An unconscious or unwilling member of the [[Circle of Power]] will not pass through the Circle unless “recognized” by another Invested member, even if the member requires a [[Life]] spell.

Individuals who are not [[Invested]] may not enter or exit a [[Circle of Power]] unless “recognized” by an Invested member of that Circle of Power. The Invested member must clearly acknowledge that permission to enter or exit the Circle of Power has been given, by gesturing to and saying “recognized.” This is an OOG statement, and it can therefore be made even when [[Silence|Silenced]]. Upon recognition, the individual must immediately enter or exit the Circle of Power. The recognition expires almost immediately after being recognized.

An individual who seeks to use combat-related [[Game Abilities]] (such as fighting or spellcasting) must be completely inside or outside of the [[Circle of Power]] throughout the action. For example, a player may not begin a spell incantation while within the [[Circle of Power]] and then step outside to throw the Packet; nor can a player stand within the [[Circle of Power]] and swing a Weapon at a target located outside the Circle of Power.
Wizards need not be [[Invested]] in order to cast a Ritual in a [[Circle of Power]], although they must be able to get inside somehow whether through recognition, casting the Circle themselves, or other powerful magics.
