Belief plays into making the ritual magic , this could actually. Fetishes are the objects that individuals create relationships with. They believe in the power that the objects could have. Because of the reinforcement of past behaviour, you will continue to do that behaviour. The reinforcement of that behaviour will generate the magic. The chance of a random reward will keep people playing. There are rituals that will occur that you will generally have to stop. Once you perform the ritual and do well, you give the praise/credit to the outer source, to the magic item. If someone is in a slump, they will change or stop the ritual.
