Erebus Speaks

The Necromantic Library of Phineus -x- Level One Rituals -x- Level Two Rituals -x- Level Three Rituals -x- Level Four Rituals -x- Level Five Rituals

Description: This ritual releases the darker side of the psyche by calling it forth and allowing it the release of speech; this means that the target of this ritual will be free to say all the destructive and negative things he has probably been keeping to himself. The caster of the ritual must be able to see or otherwise know where the subject of the ritual is and then he must extinguish a specially made candle while invoking the power of Erebus, the god of darkness and shadows.
Origin: Benesj the Black
Ingredients: A black candle made from human hair and tallow, crematorium ashes and some sulfur - a standard match will do.
Casting: The necromancer must chant an invocation in Greek to Erebus, the god of darkness and shadow calling upon him to speak through the target and then snuffing the necromantic candle.
System: Intelligence + Rituals = difficulty of five (5) and the ritual takes ten (10) minutes to cast. If successful, the rituals effects last for a number of actions equal to the caster‘s successes. The light of day dispels the power of this ritual. If the caster fails his roll, nothing happens. If he botches the roll, then he becomes the subject of this spell.
