Craft 4 Offerings corresponding to the core you want (found in plugins/LegendariesSMP/crafts.yml)

Wait 5 Minutes for the ritual to complete
Collect the Core Crystal that spawns after the ritual
Right-Click the Core Crystal to bind it to yourself

Using Your Core

Passive Abilities - Automatically active while you have the core bound
Active Abilities - Use /legendary activate to trigger your core's special ability

Ritual System

When you start a ritual:

The coordinates are broadcast to all players on the server
Particle effects spawn at the ritual location for 5 minutes
After completion, a Core Crystal spawns at the ritual site
Anyone can collect the crystal, so protect your ritual!
