Just a couple of experiments in OCG wording.

Enjoy.

[b]Effect:[/b] Used to Ritual Summon a Non-Effect Ritual Monster. After activation: Select and apply 1 of the following effects:
* Send, from your Deck to the Graveyard, Non-Effect Monster(s) whose total Level(s) equal the Level of the Ritual Monster that would be Summoned: Ritual Summon it, and attach this card to the Summoned Monster; You can detach this card to target 1 Non-Effect Ritual Monster in your Graveyard, and return it to your Deck.
* Send, from your hand or side of the field to the Graveyard, Non-Effect Monster(s) whose total Level(s) equal the Level of the Ritual Monster that would be Summoned: Ritual Summon it, and attach this card to the Summoned Monster; When that monster would leave the field through your opponent's card, you can detach this card, and this card cannot leave the field until the next Draw Phase.

I'm a bit unsure of the 1st one, don't really understand how that one works, because you already have card effects that allow you to summon cards with the same type, or with similar names to it

for the 2nd one, I'm unsure how popular NON-effect rituals are used anymore

in addition the 1st effect of the 2nd spell doesn't even seem to do anything for the ritual monster except to get it out onto the field

to that end, the 1st effect of it seems nearly useless or something

Well, if a "Gladiator Beast"/"Gem-Knight"/"E-HERO"/"Machina" or any other Archetype-belonging monster is destroyed, it Special Summons a monster in that Archetype from the Graveyard. It's non-specific Archetype support.

It allows you to send materials from your Deck, which is a benefit. And can be used to regain a material you may have used for that Summon.
