====== Ritual Reference Guide: ''Bombshells'' ======
This entry provides a summary and structured mechanical analysis of ritual magic as it appears in ''Bombshells'', a short story from ''Dangerous Women'' (later collected in ''Brief Cases''). Chronologically, it occurs shortly after ''Cold Days'' and features Molly Carpenter in her role as the new Winter Lady.

===== Narrative Summary of Ritual Use =====
In ''Bombshells'', Molly is sent by Mab on a mission to prevent the Fomor from acquiring dangerous magical munitions. To find the missing vampire warheads, Molly performs a ritual divination using a sympathetic token, establishing her growing proficiency with focused thaumaturgy. It’s a textbook example of small-scale but precise ritual use.

===== Notes for DFA Integration =====
''Bombshells'' provides a tight example of classic thaumaturgy with modern stakes: Molly uses the ritual to drive the plot forward and assert her agency as Winter Lady. It can be used as a model for mid-tier tracking rituals that are neither trivial nor high-risk — an excellent case for focused scene framing around divination.
