Suggestion: Rituals should give feedback on what they did

I understand rituals are meant to be rather obscure and hard to gather information about, but we are legendary tier adventurers over here, experienced in identifying magics in stressful and hostile environment. We should be able to know what these rituals do.
Now, personally, I feel like you should have a full on spell description for each ritual. If you know how to work the thing, you should know what it does, at least roughly.
That said, what would make a LOT of sense, but still maintain the mystery of rituals is if the effects of the ritual you just performed were explicitly revealed to you, whether it were nothing or whatnot. I mean any mage that's doing this sort of ritual should have the spells to analyze the results, so it's not like there's a lore reason not to.

I think that could be taken as feedback too, as there are multiple ways rituals could be made less opaque and anything to that end would be welcome. From what I gather a lot of players just gave up on trying to figure them out.

It would be nice. Because getting a report of a successful ritual but not seeing, hearing or feeling any effect, is a bit annoying. Why even report that it was successful then...

It would also be appropriate if one walked into an area that was under the effects of a ritual if they then made a spellcraft and lore check, and if they pass the checks to get information about the effects in the area and the name of the ritual in effect, and expected duration, what would reverse the effects, etc.
These could be set at different DCs, and some of them can be locked behind class/race requirements, or those could lower or increase DCs
