MET LARP SRD

(2013 BNS MET System)

Baleful Doll

Level 4
Necromancy

Description

Fairytales warn of unsuspecting travelers who stumble upon magicians and forest witches only to trade away parts of themselves in exchange for momentary aid. These cautionary tales exist for a reason, as the hapless travelers soon find that what seems to be an innocent request can make them vulnerable to powerful magic. With this ritual, you can create an effigy of your target that carries a powerful curse. 

Cost:

1 Blood

System

To prepare this ritual, you must first create an effigy of a target. You must either have familiarity with the target or a personal object of hers and have a piece of you target (i.e., hair, nail clippings, blood, etc.). The doll can be made of any material but must include a piece of the target worked into its construction. This preparation may be stored for up to a maximum of 30 days, but the target must still be familiar to you at the time of use. To cast the ritual, place the doll next to a candle and light it while visualizing the target. As the candle begins to melt, pour the hot wax onto the doll and let it harden. To complete the ritual, while still visualizing your target, break the doll into at least two pieces, pour 1 point of your Blood over the pieces, and make an opposed challenge against your target. 

If you succeed in an opposed challenge, the target gains the Fragile Bones flaw. The effect lasts for the next hour, unless the effigy used to cast the ritual is destroyed first. Each doll may only be used once; to use this ritual a second time on the same person, a new effigy must be created. Multiple uses of this ritual on the same target do not stack, but a second successful application extends the time of the flaw.
