The Poisoned Apple (3)
| Requirements: | Changeling, Primal or Contempt, Rituals 3 |
| Components: | Food or an item that will be cursed, a bowl |
| Cost: | 3 Glamour |
| Cast Time: | 5 minutes |
| Purpose: | Apply a mild curse of bad luck to an item of food or clothing |
The ritualist takes the food, item, or article of clothing that will be cursed, and mimes dunking it in water using a bowl.
“I poison this with the liquid venom of bad luck.”
“I curse this with the liquid venom of bad luck."
“I infuse this with the liquid venom of bad luck.”
The ritual spends a Glamour and places a special tag on an item or container for food. If the item is worn, or the food is consumed, the character who did so will be given a Bad Luck Card.
A Bad Luck Card will state one of the following:
- “You have bad luck. You can’t resist or dodge the next physical attack. Destroy this card once you have taken damage from a physical attack you would have otherwise resisted or dodged.”
- “You have bad luck. Your next attack must miss. Destroy this card once you have missed with an attack.”
- “You have bad luck. Your next Recovery will take 30 seconds longer because something interrupts you. Destroy this card once you have completed that Recovery.”
- “You have bad luck. The next time you spend energy for a power, that power will not work. Destroy this card after you have spent energy for a failed use of a power.”
A Bad Luck Card can be undone by a casting of Foul is Fair or any other sort of Luck generating ritual. Otherwise, the card is destroyed at the next sunrise, or when it is triggered.
