Mirthful Fae Malice

• Ritual Type: Curse (Personal)
• Ritual Power: 4 or more
• Casting Time: 1 minute
• Ritual Lists: Arcanum Progenia (all deities’ lists)

Only a character of Fae Lineage (Spring Fae, Summer Fae, Autumn Fae, Winter Fae) can perform this ritual.

You place a minor Curse upon someone, chosen from the following possible roleplaying effects:

• Fishlips: Every time the target kisses someone it will feel like they are kissing a cold, dead fish.
• Llama Mouth: The target can only speak with the bray of a llama. They cannot say any words; anything they attempt to say (other than the Calls for non-Spell effects they use) comes out as a llama’s bray.
• Crabfist: The target cannot spread their fingers, and must pinch things instead of grasping them.
• Bunny Feet: The target must hop everywhere instead of walking or running (safety permitting).
• Faerie Cups: The target cannot drink alcoholic beverages from anything larger than a shotglass.
• Onion Soup: Everything the target eats and smells bears the distinctive bite of an onion. They tear up at random times, as if the fumes of an invisible onion were getting in their eyes.
• Chilly Billy Goat: The target is afflicted by an ephemeral chill, feeling cold no matter what they do to get warm. They can end the Curse prematurely by finding and wearing three cloaks at once.
• High Noon: The target cannot cool down, and is inclined to strip off any extra layers of clothing or armor that the player doesn’t need to keep on to stay physically comfortable.
• Pollen Panic: The target is compelled to pick flowers, finding them fascinating and becoming distracted whenever they see a new flower. They can end the Curse prematurely by finding (or making) and putting on a flower crown.
• Curse Bucket: When you pick up the Curse Card for this Curse, pick out a prop from the Curse Bucket that the target is cursed with. (This is dependent on there being any props left in the Curse Bucket; your mileage may vary, caveat emptor, etc.)

Each additional +3 Ritual Power you spend when casting this ritual increases the number of targets you can Curse with it by +1.

Unlike most Curses, this one can be applied to a character multiple times; each new application of the Curse must have a different effect on the target, chosen from the list above. You can only apply this Curse to a given character once per casting of the ritual, however.

A character can remove this Curse from themselves by spending 15 minutes inside an area of holy ground created by the Hallow ritual.
