Archmage’s Treacherous Gift

• Ritual Type: Curse (Personal)
• Ritual Power: 25 or more
• Casting Time: 5 minutes
• Ritual Lists: Oruunari Maledicta

You place a curse upon a target character. This conveys the following effects upon them:

• The target cannot cast Spells on themselves.
• The target cannot benefit from any Elixirs. If they are under the effects of an Elixir when this Curse is placed on them, those effects are immediately dispelled.
• The target’s maximum Hit Points are reduced to 1, and they can never be increased above 1 by any means.
• The target’s maximum Mana is increased by +4.

The effects of this ritual last until the next sunrise, until you choose to remove it, or until the curse is broken.

You can overcharge this ritual; for every +20 additional Ritual Power you use when you perform the ritual, it can affect +1 additional target.

Roleplaying Effects

The target feels powerful, like they are supercharged with mana, and feel a rush of pleasure whenever they cast a spell. They have a strong desire to cast as many spells as possible, and often become overconfident in their pursuit of the rush of spellcasting. This often leads them into dangerous situations where the fragility inflicted by the curse can be their downfall.
