	This ritual needs to be performed in the presence of a miasma pillar– which almost certainly means the ritualists will require a source of spiritual strength if they are to be capable of working magic while under the influence of the [[Druj miasma]]. The pillar itself is the target – it might be struck with weapons or symbolically “purified” with water or fire. Some covens may trace runes on the surface – [[Yoorn]] and [[Mawrig]] have obvious resonances with the ritual, but surprisingly [[Tykonus]] and [[Feresh]] have also been discovered to have resonance. The former most likely represents triumph over the power of the [[Druj]], while the latter appears to amplify the defiance of the ritualists and use it as a weapon against the targeted pillar.

===Performing the Ritual===
{{Casting time|10}} This ritual targets a [[Druj_miasma#Miasma_Pillars|Druj miasma pillar]] which must be present throughout.

===Effects===
This ritual draws on the unstoppable power of Winter to permanently destroy a Druj miasma pillar. The physical item is left unharmed, but the essential nature of it is ended. The item ceases to be magical or to have any other spiritual properties and becomes a mundane item.

Any other miasma pillars in the area are unaffected, but they can no longer draw on this pillar for support.
