| Dreamborn Rousing (• • • • Life, • • • • Matter, • • • Mind, • • Spirit) Dead Magic II 63 |
|
This forbidden rite is used to rouse a
quiescent Dreamborn spirit. Only the most powerful Dreamborn spirits can
even potentially be roused; the rest have succumbed to reality long ago.
When they awaken, they're ravenous for magical power and life force and
they have totally lost al! sense of who or what they are. The beginning of this ceremony looks a lot like the common beginning to all die Endless Sleep rituals, except that the ceremony stops and starts in a seemingly random way and the rite ends with the principle practitioner driving a stone shard through his hand and into the body of the Dreamborn itself. System: The ritual successes gene rated by this rote are in direct opposition to the rote called Ensure the Endless Sleep. Successes on the roll must go towards first eroding successes generated by that tote, and then are actively opposed by the spirit's Willpower. When the Dreamborn awakens, it will be ravenously hungry for Quintessence. Treat it as a Totem Avatar spirit. It will drain every source of Quintessence nearby and, if there is none, people will start to look really juicy and interesting to it. |
