Talk:Experience the Soul
Ok, before I can comment too much on this ritual, one defining question must be answered. What are you 'exactly' trying to achieve with this ritual? Are you trying to learn basic details about the brain's former owner? Are you trying to determine if the brain's former owner is a wraith? Or are you trying to consume the memories of the deceased and if so, why? I want to be clear here. Having played a vampiric necromancer obsessed with memory magic, I have explored this avenue pretty far. This is not to say that there isn't room for further exploration, because there are clearly many unexplored areas yet to be delved. And, while someone else may have paralleled your research, that doesn't mean that you cannot put your personal brand on it and make it distinct. Rather what I am trying to say is that such rituals could have many variable ends and we need some place to start in order to move forward. -- "The Magister 20:08, 11 October 2017 (MDT)"
My intention was to be able to temporarily absorb some memories and or skills from the brain of the corpse I was eating. I am thinking that as a basic ritual this is fine, so perhaps with one success I would gain some glimpses into his/her past. Two success would be a months memories/ 1 skill (at the level of the corpse). Three successes would be a years memories and/or 2 skills at level. I was thinking duration would be for the night. You mentioned using a sacrifice of the skull for a more permanent gathering of the memories, and I think perhaps that is a higher level ritual. But that is up to you. Keith 18:53, 13 October 2017
