{{Quotation|factions|Ritualists channel other-worldly energies that summon allies from the void and employ mystic [[binding ritual]]s that bend those allies to the Ritualist's will. They hood their eyes to better commune with spirits that grant great power and protection to Ritualists and their comrades. The energy they channel drives Ritualist skills which enhance the deadliness of an ally's weapon and wreak havoc on an enemy's health. The Ritualist can also use the remains of the dead to defend the living-not by reanimating corpses as a [[Necromancer]] would, but through the ritual use of urns and ashes. Where the [[Ranger]] lives as one with the spirit world, the Ritualist can and will be its master.}}

{{Quotation|game|icon-size=50px|icon=[[File:Ritualist-tango-icon-200.png|60px]]|A living conduit to the Spirit world, the Ritualist spawns powerful Spirit allies that inflict harm on foes, and can channel restorative magic that heals and protects injured companions.}}

The [[Ritualist]]s are one of the oldest known [[profession]]s on [[Tyria (world)|Tyria]]. Being unique to [[Cantha]], they have existed long before the [[Exodus of the Gods|Exodus]] and the [[Gods of Tyria|gods]] granting [[magic]] to the races. Before magic, the Ritualists focused on channeling spirits from the [[Mists]]. They relied upon the strength and wisdom granted to them by their powerful ancestors who maintained a connection to their descendants. Through their [[spirit]]s, the Ritualists were able to practice magic, or something close to it. When magic was granted by the gods, many of the original abilities were strengthened and merged into their modern form. Though still relying on the power of the dead, their original skills are no longer a visible part of the profession.

Ritualists are masters of spirits, able to call upon them in battle for aid. They are the only profession capable of summoning allies that will both aid your team and hinder your enemies, unlike the Ranger's [[nature ritual]]s or Necromancer's [[minion]]s. They are also capable of using unique [[weapon spell]]s and [[item spells|summoning ashes]] to aid in battle, and can directly attack foes or aid allies. As such, they are one of the most diverse professions.
