`"Upon casting this Ritual, the Target must select a single Element, from Stone, Lightning, Ice, or Flame. This is the only element that the Target may select when casting spells from the Evocation Effect group, Celestial Channeling, or the Channel Foundation Element High Magic ability, while this Ritual is active on their Spirit.

While this Ritual is active, the damage from any Evocation Bolt, Lesser Magic Storm, and Magic Storm spells cast from memory or via the Flexible Casting skill is increased by 5 points."`

Cast from the evocation effect group vs cast from memory, the benefit portion is specifically spells cast from memory
That imho would exclude spells cast from scrolls and spell stores.
Question: are invocation bolts cast from scrolls [adventure equipment superior equipment] limited to the specific element?
Same question for spells cast from spell store.

Next: magic invocation
`"The Magic Evocation Ritual allows the Target Spirit, Body, or bearer of the Target Item to choose Magic as the delivered effect in place of their standard choices, when casting an Evocation Bolt from memory. This Ritual Effect may also be used on Evocation Bolts manifested via the Flexible Casting skill.

Allows Target to choose Magic in place of your standard choices. Your choices normally are flame,stone,ice,lightning
The ele embodiment would mean your only standard attack is flame however you have a item that gives you a "effect in place of your standard choices"
Question: would you still be able to throw Magic invocation bolts or does the embodiment neutralize the Magic item? would the magic bolts be increased by 5?

The bonus damage from Elemental Embodiment only applies to spells cast from memory.

The first paragraph of the Elemental Embodiment ritual description will be updated to read: "Upon casting this Ritual, the Target must select a single Element, from Stone, Lightning, Ice, or Flame. This is the only element that the Target may select when casting spells from memory from the Evocation Effect group, Celestial Channeling, or the Channel Foundation Element High Magic ability, while this Ritual is active on their Spirit."

Neither scrolls nor spells activated out of spell stores are affected by the Ritual.

You would still be able to throw Magic, but you would not get the increased damage when the Magic effect is used.
