Spreading the Mothers Thorns
The Nahemites believe that only through pain can others learn. To this favor they learn this ritual to teach others of the power of the Dark Mother Nahema. This ritual cast on a room will leave all those who are in the area of effect to experience great pain, as if thorns were piercing their skin, blistering their flesh, and burning from the inside.
While the pain is temporary, it is quite distracting.
System: The caster lays a ward on a room, object or area, anyone touching or entering the area or touching the object after that until the sun rises will be afflicted with burning bites, and supernatural protections will be of no help. There is no actual damage, but all acts of will or concentration while afflicted are at a +3 difficulty. The caster rolls Intelligence + Occult difficulty 5 to cast the ritual. The number of successes is the number of people who can be afflicted.
