I have a feeling this one's reported before, but:

(Version 2.11) Item rituals don't seem to work unless the wearer could normally cast them. At least, putting Boots of the Planes on commander without astral 3 or more results in message "The ritual is too complex for this mage" when trying to teleport (in a province containing a lab, if that matters). An astral-3 mage can teleport all right.

There goes (one of) the Last and best chance(s) to world domination. Well, workaround under consideration...

Edit: same happens with crown of the ivy king and non-nature commanders trying to summon wine men. So, a more general problem?

I've been using Stone Spheres with normal commanders all right.

Are you sure you're not trying to use them as Monthly rituals? AFAIK, item rituals never worked as monthly rituals.
