* Grand Ritual: Alternate Wizard objective (Wizard Events II) (#72918)
Adds an alternate greentext objective for Wizards known as the "Grand
Ritual". This was initially the gimmick of a different wizard-related
antagonist downstream. I didn't get permission to port it, so I'm
attaching it to regular Wizards instead.
Wizards will spawn in with a new Grand Ritual button next to their
antagonist info button. Pressing it will pinpoint them towards their
next Ritual Location (a randomly chosen region of the space station).
Once within that location, pressing it will summon a magic circle and
obliterate any dense objects which are in the way. This also puts the
ability on a two minute cooldown.
Clicking on the magic circle with an empty hand will begin a three-stage
invocation to gather magical power. You can interrupt this invocation at
any time and will resume from the last stage you completed (if you
finished two stages you only need to do one more).
Once you complete a ritual, a random event will be triggered based on
how many rituals you have performed so far. These tend to be ones which
annoy the crew in some manner, and Wizard Events are included in the
list. Additionally, something weird will usually happen to the room you
are in.
Then you are assigned a new location and can toddle off to do it again.
Once you have done this three times, you will be picked up by the
station's sensors every time you start a subsequent ritual and should
expect annoyed company to come investigate.
Once you have done this six times, you can finally spend all of that
accumulated power on the seventh Grand Finale ritual. Completing this
grants you victory at the end of the round and will have a larger,
flashier effect which you can pick from a list of options, think of it
like a wizard equivalent of a Traitor Final Objective or Heretic
Ascension.
After that you can still keep doing rituals if you want to pester the
crew further by summoning more random events, you've already "won" at
this point so now it's your job to make them want to go home.
I think it'd be more fun to just find out what the Finale ritual can do
by seeing it happen but maintainers will probably want a list of its
precise capabilities, so here it is:
Currently completing a ritual also has a chance to create Heretic
Reality Tears (of both varieties, available for Heretics to eat and
visible to crew) as a kind of cross-antagonist interaction which seemed
to make sense to me but if this seems thematically or mechanically
inappropriate it's easy to strip out.

About The Pull Request
Brings back the scrubber overflow event, previously removed in #53549
This version has nerfed numbers because foam changes made it stupidly powerful.
Also snake_cases some event variables.
Why It's Good For The Game
More dangerous but not station-damaging events. Bonus: janitor content.

Weather has been refactored from a weather control machine on the lavaland z-level into a subsystem. All existing weather has been changed to accommodate this change, and their code has been optimized by using addtimer() instead of sleep().
The new subsystem also supports adding weather to any z-level; for instance, if you made a weather called /datum/weather/rain_storm and made it target z-level 3 with a 100% probability, the rain storm would occur as much as possible with 5-10 minute intermissions. These intermissions take into account the weather's duration.
Reduces the lava event from "lets slay all idlers and stop all action for 2 minutes" to "lets greviously wound all idlers and stop all action for 30 seconds"
Makes summon magic/summon guns work fine without a mob attached, this prevents a runtime and some odd messages to the admins
Makes the inviciblity text jive better.
