Ritual Description
By invoking the wrath of your god, you may cause a terrible blight to assail your foes. Upon completion of the ritual, choose one point within range. Choose two effects from the following list, which affect a radius from the point you chose (the exact radius depends on the effect). Blight the Crops: All planted crops within a 1 mile radius instantaneously wither and are unfit to eat. Corrupt Water Supply: All groundwater within a 1 mile radius instantaneously becomes unfit to drink. Creatures that do drink the water contract a disease of the MC’s choosing. Deluge: For the next 24 hours, heavy rain and hail batters the area in a 1 mile radius. Creatures must shout to be heard, their visibility is limited to 30 ft, and the MC might rule that erosion could lead to buildings becoming unstable. Disease the Livestock: All livestock within a 1 mile radius instantaneously gain a disease of the MC’s choosing. Creatures that eat the livestock without first curing it also contract the same disease. Heat Wave: For the next 7 days, the affected area is 20°F hotter than it would normally be. (5 mile radius) Swarm of Insects: A swarm of insects descends on the affected area for 1 day. During this time, there are 1d10 Swarms of Insects that aggressively attack any living creature within the area. The remaining insects do not pose physical harm to creatures but devour any food that they can find. There are so many insects that visibility is limited to 100 ft and any creature in the area is considered Concealed. (500 ft radius) Swarm of Rodents: A swarm of rodents descends on the affected area for 1 day. During this time, there are 2d6 Swarms of Rats that aggressively attack any living creature within the area. The remaining rodents do not pose physical harm to creatures but devour any food that they can find. (500 ft radius) Swarm of Snakes: A swarm of snakes descends on the affected area for 1 day. During this time, there are 1d4 Swarms of Snakes and 1d4 Snakes that aggressively attack any living creature within the area. The remaining snakes do not pose physical harm to creatures but devour any food that they can find. The area is considered Difficult Terrain. (500 ft radius) Utter Darkness: For the next 24 hours, the affected area is magically dark. Arcane and occult magical light still functions within this darkness, but cannot dispel it. Any other source of magical light cannot function in this darkness. (5 mile radius) Channeling such destructive power causes you to become Shaken for the next 24 hours.
