Ah, I see. Iwas actually thinking this wouldbecoolto do as a"group
blessing" or something like that, which would mean you'd have varied
targets, most likely.

Right. There are multi-target (split, not AE) spells, but not given
multi-target rituals. I'd say Splitting the ritual dice both among
stages and "samples" is the likely equivalent. There may be fancier
ways, with higher drain, but those strike me as VERY big ritual mojo (I
remembr Sam Verners ghost dance ritual having many diffrent targets /
effects...)
