In the case of a ~~durable~~ consecration, the ceremony must still have a strength at least equal to that of the existing aura.

	The ceremony of consecration teaches a priest how to use their liao to evoke an aura to create a place of spiritual contemplation. It is perhaps most commonly used in shrines to aid pilgrims in their meditations upon one of the Seven Paths. By consecrating an area, the priest creates a potent [[Aura#Location_Aura\|location aura]] drawn from their virtue. The standard location aura provided by a consecration provide two significant benefits. They produce a roleplaying effect which will influence the way characters in the location will act, and they also provide a source of spiritual strength to overcome a malign roleplaying effect.

	A location may only have one location aura in place at once, so creating a new aura automatically replaces any existing standard aura. A ~~durable~~ aura is more difficult to remove. Characters with the same virtue can cooperate to perform a consecration to create a ~~durable~~ aura or to remove or replace an existing one.

A [[Aura#Strong Auras\|strong aura]] is more difficult to remove. Characters with the same virtue can cooperate to perform a consecration to create a strong aura or to remove or replace an existing one.

	Consecration is not the only way that a person may experience a powerful aura. A location aura can occur spontaneously as a result of actions taken there and some curses and dangerous spirits have the ability to create a location aura. Some magic [[rituals]] such as [[The Chamber of Delights]] or [[Solace of Chimes]] also create location auras, but without any ''true'' spiritual underpinnings.

Performing a consecration requires a dose of [[liao]] and at least ten seconds of appropriate roleplaying. You must be physically inside the area you wish to consecrate throughout the ceremony.

	You must have a referee to perform a consecration. The referee will take your liao, and bring an A5 laminated card to mark the entrances to the consecrated space. If you let a referee know ahead of time that you are planning to perform a consecration, then they will have the aura cards ready if possible.		You must have a referee to perform a consecration.

During the event, if you let a referee know ahead of time that you are planning to perform a consecration, then they will have the aura cards ready if possible.

	Consecration is most effective when used on a tent or room, where the location aura automatically expands to fill the interior space. If a consecration is performed in an open area, then the space must be clearly defined and no more than 40' across at most. It must be absolutely clear to anyone whether they are inside a consecrated area or not. If for any reason the boundaries of a consecrated area shift or move significantly, then the consecration collapses.
