Fate twists and turns upon the flow of gold and silver. Luck turns sour for one as it blooms sweet for another. This ritual sharply punishes success, twisting hard-earned fortune into disaster, while granting the stolen luck to those who are only barely scraping by. Merchants and caravan-masters suffer the most, as do the owners of mines, as accidents and missed opportunities add up, but strangely enough the flow of coin and goods across the land is strengthened by the same measure.
You target one Province with this ritual. You must deliver the Curse Card for this ritual to an Envoy of the Nation containing that Province or to a Veilwalker whose Enterprise is located within that Province for it to have an effect.
All Caravans, Businesses, and Mines based in the Province suffer -4 Levels.
Every Region within the Province recovers an additional +20 Economy at the end of the Recovery Phase of the next Round of Downtime.
The wealthy and powerful across the Province suffer a variety of mishaps and misfortunes that sharply cut into their profits, despite the overall abundance of the economy. Mines across the Province are struck by sudden accidents that kill workers and shut down production for weeks at a time.
The effects of this ritual last until the end of the next Confluence, until you remove the Curse, or until the Curse is broken, whichever comes first. If this ritual is performed targeting a Province while a previous instance of it is still active on that Province, its Ritual Power is reduced to 20.
If this ritual is performed outside of Veilguard, its required Ritual Power is quadrupled.
