Every choice is a fork in the road, leading to one destination or another. Every opportunity to change, to grow, is something to be treasured. But what if you could not choose? What if you could only do what you had done yesterday, and the day before, and the day before that. What if… what if nothing ever changed, or ever could change? What if you could not even contemplate the possibility of change?
You target one Region with this ritual. You must deliver the Curse Card for this ritual to an Envoy of the Nation containing that Region or to a Veilwalker whose Enterprise is located within the Province that contains the targeted Region for it to have an effect.
The Economy and Security scores of the targeted Region are halved.
None of the Forces and Cultist Cells located within the targeted Region can move or take Actions.
Any Force or Cultist Cell that enters the Region immediately ends its current Action and cannot take any further Actions during the Round.
Military Units cannot operate within the targeted Region.
People within the Region suffer from severe decision paralysis and drained creativity, drastically reducing their drive to do anything outside of their most basic routines. Everything within the Region is drained of color, including the people, their flesh and clothing turning dull and grey.
The effects of this ritual last until the end of the next Round of Downtime, until you remove the Curse, or until the Curse is broken, whichever comes first.
If this ritual is performed outside of Veilguard, its required Ritual Power is quadrupled.
