Is there a subsystem out there anywhere that allows for ritual based magic that isn't Epic level?

I know we have epic spells that work "better" with multiple casters. And in 4E we've got rituals that are basically utility spells - the stuff we remember our wizards doing anyways. I have relics and rituals 1 and 2, but those mostly contain over the top rituals (i.e. cut your god off from magic, etc.).

Is there any sort of subsystem for time and even component intensive magic for 3.5? I'd like people to be able to set up temporary wards and what not.

Any ideas?

Not sure, but you may want to wait until Ultimate Magic is released later this year.

I actually DO know everything. I just have a very poor index of my knowledge.

Unearthed Arcana had ritual spells for 3.5e, right? I remember reading about it when looking at the E6 rules as a way to allow rituals to be used for higher level spells, but I don't have that book with me at the moment so I can't check for you.

Yes, there was a system for ritual magic called incantations in Unearthed Arcana. It is actually open content available here.

Yes, that's what I was thinking of! Thanks for the link.
