newbie tilt question

As written, Tilts are more time consuming than rituals. They give you the power to modify your die rolls, like getting an extra Obsession/Stimuli trigger to call on during the game.

Most rituals have a procedure, followed by a Soul Check, which, upon success, yields a specifc effect if you pay the appropriate charges. Check for Stress at each stage as appropriate.

Tilts are group rituals that let you carry a hanging effect, ready to cash in during a tight spot. Unlike the reality-defying effects of some rituals, Tilts just modify probability, so they always manifest as +/- 5% shifts (minor tilt) or flip-flops (significant tilt).

You can Tilt your cabal (Bond) or your territory (Ward) and use the benefit when near/within each other.

Did that help?
The chance of casting a Tilt is determined by how much mumbo-jumbo you can perform for the ritual (there’s a table for specifics, but in the end, it’s the GM’s discretion) , and isn’t limited by your Soul Score- though it caps out at 70%.

Mumbo-Jumbo, not Soul or Mind or Whatever-Mancy. Basically, the GM gets to rule how well the PCs have followed the 5 principles of Symbolic Magic, and gives the tilters a target number.

The 5 Laws of Mumbo-Jumbo
(Someone correct me if I have these wrong)
Sympathy (actions/objects with aligned symbolism to the desired result)
Contagion (physical/emotional links to the target- possessions, spoor, pets, siblings, the actual person)
Names (includes other modes of ID)
Consent (does the target knowingly agree)
Sacrifice (extra charges/resources spent above the base cost)

As written, the max is a 70% chance.

This is why Tilts take so long- you have to pause to do some evaluation & accounting.
