Well, first, I think we all know how and why Stage One was discovered, and the reason it is so well known. Let's not go there.
Stage two? That's creepy. Really creepy. Mystical+creepy point to one city, so I am certain than more than half of those few than know Stage Two are necromancers and vodoo priests in Marduk
I am not sure about the biomods -the whole body cunts a a biomod by itself, so I think it should only biomod if you purposely pattern it to copy a biomoded person, or if your ritual is quirked somehow (for instance, when and if Oscar Vykos ever learns the ritual, he still has the quirk than he needs to mix blood in any liquid wavium: Any Squish-bot of his would be vampiric like himself). I omes either normal or already biomodded, so to say.
Now than gives me an idea: There is no single ritual; The basic uisce beatha creates a normal body (unless your own quirk prevents it, like Oscar) , but by altering with the essential salts or the uisce beatha, you can creace different biomods.
It may be a way to safely experiment with diferent mods, or for heavily biomoded people to rememebr what is was to ne a plain human.
Wich gets me to the second question: If have not noticed a way for the person to inhabit the new body. How do you od it? Do you have to preinstall a receptor in the head of the doll?
Last, the duration. I do not have any problem with the week, but I will say than the first thing than came to me when I read "ritual" was "full moon". You may consider to have the bots last a full lunar month, and the ritual can only be used in the full or dark moon (well, for most people using it, it would be full or dark Earth
I think Oscar Vykos will not be the ones who discover the ritual, but unless Brains is going to keep it for himself he will get told it, at least until stage two, some day while gossiping with Brains when he is lookin for a humanoid body his his AI -that will be around 2011-ish
