Ward Against Spirits (Ritual)
| Ward Against Spirits | |
|---|---|
| Type: | Glyph Rite |
| Casting Requirements: | Rituals 3 and Theurge 2 |
| Rarity: | Common |
| Summary: | This rite creates a barrier, preventing spirits from crossing a doorway or threshold. |
| Cost: | 6 Energy. Reduce the cost by 1 for each additional participant, up to 3. Additional participants must be able to cast the ritual on their own, and pay 2 to participate. |
| Components: | A banner at least 2 feet long by 1.5 feet wide, showing the caster’s sigil (and the sigils of any additional participants) and the symbol from this scroll, a doorway, tentflap or similar closeable passageway that does not currently have a Ward banner, a Ward tag for the ritual, a safety pin |
| Special: | Show this ritual at check-in to receive one Ward tag with the current event date. You may only have one Ward tag for each Ward scroll you possess. When the Ward is not in use, the Ward tag must remain with the ritual scroll and will leave your possession with the scroll if the ritual is lost, stolen or traded. |
| Instructions: | 1. Spend five minutes chanting and performing other ritual roleplay around the target doorway.
2. Attach your banner to the doorway in a way that allows it to hang down and visibly block the the top part of the doorway. Banners must be obvious to anyone crossing the threshold to function. 3. Attach the appropriate Ward tag to the bottom center of the banner and fold it over, so that it’s readable from both sides. 4. Pay the cost. |
| Effects: | While the ritual is in effect, no spirits may pass through the doorway and no character but the caster may remove the banner. The caster’s maximum energy is reduced by 3 for the remainder of the event. The caster may only have one Ward cast at a time, and may remove the Ward at any time by taking the banner down. |
