I'd be inclined to say that ritual spells are like chess openings; a
series of moves that are usefull to know as a starting point, but which
your opponent knows you are capable of.  Random magick is what you use
once you get into a situation where you have to improvise and adapt -
the only way your opponent can know what you can do here is to have
studied you in the past.
