Ravaging (2)

Requirements:	Changeling, Rituals 2, Being a bastard
Components:	A weapon
Cost:	1 Glamour, +1 Disbelief
Cast Time:	5 minutes
Notes:	The use of this Ritual is generally considered a violation of Changeling law and custom.
Purpose:	Rip energy out of a sleeping subject and turn it into Glamour.

This ritual can only be used on a target that has been put to sleep or made unconscious within the last five minutes.

The ritualist walks around the sleeping target, weapon in hand. They recite the following:

“My words are your nightmare.

Your sleep becomes suffering.

I steal your creativity.”

The ritualist then spends at least five minutes narrating a nightmare scenario that the sleeping target is visualizing. The ritualist may have the scenario be interactive, asking the sleeping target questions that they may answer while still asleep.

The ritualist then places their weapon above the sleeping target’s head. “I siphon your energies and make them mine.” The Ritualist may then use Drain Energy, converting energy drained from the target into Glamour, but also gaining 1 disbelief for injuring a Dreamer. The use of Drain Energy in this context does not break the Merciful Sleep power.
