Wail of the Departed
Description
Where Death walks, the wails of the weeping follow. Some cultures believe that the dead cannot progress to the afterlife unless they are sufficiently mourned, while others believe that too much grief can invite harmful spirits. This ritual allows you to hear the wails of the Banshee in an area of your choosing; the spirits whose cries accompany the dead.
1 Blood
System
To perform this ritual, you must collect a piece of art that depicts a weeping woman. While older ritualists commonly use religious iconography, more modern artistic depictions may be used as well. The art must be wrapped in silk that has been soaked in 1 point of your blood and placed outside during a new moon as this ritual is a cast. Thereafter, the art may be placed in any building. Should any death occur within the building, you are struck with a brief yet violent pain as your mind is wracked with the echoing wails of the banshee, rendering you unable to hear for a turn.
You may sever your link to the icon at any time by burning the silk the art was wrapped in. This immediately ends the ritual and destroys the icon. The piece of art will retain its potency for 90 days unless it is brushed with your blood. Doing so renews the item for another 90 days. A necromancer may have a number of these objects equal to her Occult skill at a given time.
