Sadhana

This label covers numerous rituals. Each ritual enables a magician to hypnotize a willing audience into seeing one specific illusion. For instance, one murya ritual makes an audience see the Indian Rope Trick. Another ritual makes the audience see the magician levitate. A third produces the hypnotic illusion of maidens leaping out of a basket, dancing for the amusement of the crowd, then vanishing into the basket once more.
System: Unlike other rituals, these illusions call for a Charisma + Performance roll (difficulty 4), as the magician persuades the audience to accept wonders. These rituals can affect several dozen people, whom the magician sets apart from the mundane world through an enclosure scratched on the ground.
