Merge XP is a ritual that was introduced to the game on July 16, 2013; it was removed from the game on January 17/18, 2015. Despite being present for nearly a year or more, the ritual was never made available to players; as such, little is known about how this ritual works, and what is required to complete it. A new Shade was foundin the game data, and was designed to be used for this ritual.
