Influence of Pisces Formula
E/F/M:
The Influence of Pisces requires one AT of performance time for each year, or fraction thereof, the subject. has been deceased. Beyond 10 years, A, are added per decade. This is one of the most powerful (albeit limited) Rituals possible to mortal practitioners, as the Casting's Effect can wholly restore life to a dead persona. The healing power of this Ritual Saws its life-forte energy from the astrologer. other humans present. and the surroundings. using an such power to restore the parts of the persona and bind once again the spirit of the subject to its body. There are, however, certain important limitations and restrictions of this Casting due to its nature and Effect The first and foremost restriction is that of the astrologist's skill. Only a subject that. has .en dead for no more than a number of days less than the combined SMCap and SPCap of the caster can be restored by that practitioner. Secondly, the subject cannot .re been dead long enough for the spirit to reach it's final destination. Obviously, if the spirit of the subject persona has attained and bonded or been bound to its next plane/sphere of habitation Use, this Casting will not work. Conversely, if the subject died before his or her time, and the spirit lingers near the body or place of death, then it is much more likely that the ritual will be successful (If the gamemaster is uncertain, just gives percentage chance which is viewed as reasonable by the concerned parties. GM's modification final, and have the active player roll the dice for the astrologers chance.) It is also important that the remains . fairly completeÑor at least gathered together. This is to say that though the Casting will rejuvenate and reverse decay, it will not fun.on without at least 51% of the remains present. Consider a full skeleton as 100% complete. For .each . 10% not available, there will be a penalty of +5 on the dice roll for activation success. Additionally 100 extra Heka points must be expended for each year beyond one that the subject has been dead And finally. since the Ritual draws energy from . surroundings, I will drain TRAIT points from any creatures or personas present in order to restore the subject to original Physical Wound Level total, and Mental and Spiritual TRAIT Effective Level scores. This drain is equal to three tim. the actual number required for restoration and affects the astrologer primarily, drawing 2 points for every 1 drawn from each others present- No more than 10% of the points needed will be gained from "natural" surrounding sources. The point loss is temporary, and may . regained fully by one day of rest. and no creatures present will be reduced beyond their Physical Critical Level or Mental/ Spirit.. We. Levels. Note that if there are not enough points available to restore the subject's Physical score to above WL, and M ands STRAITS to EL, the Casting will not work Once restored by this dweomer, the subject must rest for 1D6+1 days recuperation time. As an example, let's assume that an astrologer it attempting to restore life to his friend Alberic, who had a total Physical TRAIT score of 100, M and S ELs of 20 .each. Since there must . a minimum of 345 points available (Alberic's former WL plus Els), Kneauwunne the Astrologer must be able to suffer a loss of 311 (345-34 from "surroundings") points of combine, Mental, Physical. and Spiritual damage to bring his friend back from the land of the deadÑhighly unlikely. If there were two other personas present. however, then they would provide 156 points (78 ea.), while Kneauwunne would . drained of 156 points from his three TRAITS Exhausting, debit.% but. a worthwhile effort! A Special Success mauls that 20% of tbs energy needed was drawn from the surroundings and that the subject will be at full -TRAIT totals after one day of rest A Special Failure twins that the subject is forever lost. and that. the astrologer must rest. for two weeks, others assisting for one week. to recover lost points.
