Hallowing Ritual

E/F/M:

This Ritual Casting of eight Action Tums performance serves to sanctify a place with respect to the Good. beneficent, and honest, and prevent it from harm by those of opposing so. The Casting prevents encroachment by those with the intent to desecrate or profane a place of special Import to the caster. Any being or creature, spirit or otherwise. of Neherrealm origination, malign nature, or Evil whose S TRATT is less than the practitioner's STEEP in this K/S Area will be unable to enter the Effect Area. The Casting must be centered on an object or natural feature which is of beneficent or of a clean, natural so. The Hallowing Ritual also places a special dweomer which will inflict 8D3+8 points each of Physical and Spiritual damage, once, to all wicked creatures or beings who manage enter the Area with intent to harm, pilfer, damage, destroy, or trespass. However, this then dispels the Effect. No more than one such Casting can be active in or on the same area at the same time. The Time duration is established by expenditure of additional Heka at the moment of activation of Effect. For each year beyond the first that the Casting Effect is to remain active, the apotropaist must expend 100 Heita points. It is not tied to an ethos per se (for there are Good etas folks found in many of the ethoi), but rather serves to repel beings of radically different sort than the apotropaistic Good. Compare the minor and Full Consecration Castings described above.
