Re: Girl Genius XXVI: Madness is the best possible response
Yeah, during the days of Storm King sparks were called wizards so "ritual" doesn't seem out of place to describe a complex and poorly understood procedure.

Re: Girl Genius XXVI: Madness is the best possible response
To be honest, I've been working under the assumption that what Sparks do is magic. It would explain how they can blatantly defy physics. And why it's seemingly impossible for talented non-sparks to defy physics.
I agree that this probably a bit of a retcon. And I think the Folio's have even mentioned that Higgs wasn't planned as a long term character originally.
I think the Folio's are fans of Schrödinger's Gun, which is a very useful tool for serials. Especially one that has been as enduring as Girl Genius.

Re: Girl Genius XXVI: Madness is the best possible response
The ritual to become a Jaeger - when combined with the Jaegerdraught - might usually be required because the recipient needs to be on the brink of death for it to work, and the ritual involves something very lethal. That way, it's something that is usually mandatory for the Draught to work, but in Zeetha's case she didn't need it because she was already in that state anyway.
