Ritual Preparation
As an action, choose a spell you know that does not restore health. You can cast the chosen spell as a ritual until you finish a short or long rest.
There are a few reason for why I think this shouldn't allow 4 mana or 5 mana spells:
This would allow you to cast Imprisonment, Blizzard, Foresight, etc. without counting against the limit per rest (since I suppose rituals don't count, as they don't spend mana/slots).
Even if they do count against the limit, the other witchcrafts, channel divinity, etc. allow you to cast a 1 mana spell, so they give you a 1 mana discount. Casting a 4 or 5 mana spell as ritual gives you too much extra mana
I think 3 mana is a good limit. The other options allow you to cast an unknown spells at 1 mana discount, while this one would require you to know the spell, cast it for 5 minutes, can't be augmented, but allows up to a 3 mana spell.
