There are 2 ways to perform this Ritual. With or against the target's consent. It is recommended that you determine the Level of the Fetish prior to performing the Ritual. The cost of creating a Fetish with consent is 1 maximum Gnosis for the remainder of game for each Level of the Fetish. The cost for creating a Fetish without consent is 3 Maximum Gnosis for the remainder of game per level of the Fetish. This cost may be spread among any number of participants. If performed with less than 10 hours of game time remaining, these effects persist through the following game.
First obtain a spirit appropriate to the Fetish you are trying to create, and an object in which to house the spirit, also appropriate to the purpose of the Fetish. The Spirit must have at least 5xItemLevel in Maximum Gnosis to become an Item. Draw a circle on the ground and place the spirit within. If the spirit is conscious and willing, ask them to hold the object, else place the object upon them. All participants should stand around the circle. Initiate the ritual by naming the participants, then, "we [number] souls give of ourselves and ask this spirit of Gaia to bless us with her strength and guidance. This empty vessel, [name of object] shall become home to this [type of spirit]. We shall call them [name of Fetish]." Ask each participant to recite, clearly and at an even cadence, "I give of myself that we become stronger." 1x per level of the Fetish. Each participant steps to the spirit and gives 1 Gnosis per level of the Fetish to the spirit. This Gnosis will be recovered after the Ritual completes. "Spirit, [name of spirit], enter this object and become our ally in The Fight." The ritualists then decrease Maximum Gnosis as discussed among them. The Ritualist and Spirit should visit ST camp to obtain the new tag for their item. Upon completion, the Ritualist may visit each participant and return to them the Gnosis spent in the Ritual.
Fetishes created this way are only usable by characters with the Gnosis Energy type, even if the pool used by the Fetish is not Gnosis.
