You place a curse upon a target character, who must be present for the entire performance of the ritual.
The target suffers from the Envenomed condition. This condition cannot be removed through any means until the target is freed from the curse.
The target’s maximum Hit Points are reduced by -2, to a minimum of 1 Hit Point.
The effects of this ritual last until the end of the next event or until the curse is broken. You cannot remove this curse from the target prematurely.
At the start of the next Round of Downtime, one Cultist Cell with Base Combat Strength of 120 or less is destroyed.
This ritual can only be performed in Veilguard or a site that is particularly holy to Bakharos. If it is performed outside of Veilguard, the Ritual Power requirement is quadrupled.
Roleplaying Effects
The target feels constant low-grade nausea. The condition flares up whenever they hear music, though it is always just highly uncomfortable and never to the point of vomiting.
