Urizen Lore
This ritual is part of Urizen lore rather than Imperial Lore. Any Urizen character with the appropriate lore can master or perform this ritual. A character from another nation who mastered the ritual before it became part of Urizen lore may still perform it, but does so under the usual rules for performing a ritual learned from a ritual text.
Performing the Ritual
Performing this ritual takes at least 2 minutes of roleplaying. At the end of the ritual one of the contributors is chosen to deliver the curse with a pronouncement of doom.
This effect is a curse. A target may be under more than one curse at a time.
Effects
This ritual creates a curse that is delivered to a target with a pronouncement of doom: one contributor is chosen to deliver the curse, and they must do so within fifteen minutes or it falls on their own head.
While under the curse, the target experiences a roleplaying effect; you often stumble over your words; the more people who are listening to you or the more authoritative you are being about a subject the harder it is to express yourself clearly.
If the target leads a congregation it will quickly shrink as a consequence. During the next downtime period and for as long as the curse persists the congregation provides only half the liao and votes in the Synod it would normally provide.
The effect of the ritual lasts for a year (until the start of the Profound Decisions Empire event four events from now).
Removing the Curse
The curse can be alleviated by certain powerful creatures or items.
