Athria Rites

Overload

In addition to losing all hit points, the Weaver(s) immediately suffer a roleplay effect which they continue to roleplay for as long as they wish. The effect should be fitting for the Athria sphere. Some examples include:

• Health and life continuously leech out of you to fuel the failed rite.
• You are overcome with intense debilitating sorrow.
• You are relentlessly attacked by vengeful spirits who died nearby.
• You are filled with immense guilt and self-judgement, along with a need to punish yourself.

Rise, my Friends!

Rise, my Friends!Lvl 1

Cast Time	30 seconds
Duration	5 minutes
Range	Touch through foci

Extension: Every Flicker of Water expended in the rite increases the duration by 5 minutes – (Each Flicker also increases the rite level by 2)

The Weaver may choose a willing target who is currently in their terminal state. That target is now classed as an Underdweller. They have a maximum of 5 hit points, Immune to all roleplay affects, poison and retain access to all known skills. However, they cannot use any abilities that require Faith, Focus, or Vigour. An Underweller is the same character and so has all their previous memories. The target is free to roleplay this how they choose. If the target is reduced to 0 hit points, they immediately turn to dust and do not enter a critical or terminal state again. They also turn to dust at the end of the rite’s duration, if not already destroyed. A character who has used May the Gods Witness Me cannot be affected by this rite, as they immediately die and do not enter a terminal state.

The Weaver grants the target the ability that it may consume a corpse (someone In Terminal state or dead and requiring at least 30 seconds roleplay) to restore all their lost hit points. Each target may do so once within the rite’s duration. Note: This Rite does not destroy or remove a corpse. It will be damaged in some capacity by the ritual but recognisable and it will still be visible for other players

Once the rite has been used it can’t be used again on that target. This rite does not require a ref, but do speak with one if there is any confusion or need for assistance.
