Tomb of Jade
EarthDescrição
One of the most powerful invocations of the spirits of earth, the rite the Kuni shugenja call the Tomb of Jade seals an entity suffused with the power of the Shadowlands within jade, transforming its blighted flesh into this sacred substance. However, if the prison of jade is cracked or broken, the spell weakens, and the being sealed within might be able to escape to wreak havoc once again. If it ever escapes, the shugenja who sealed it becomes aware of its escape, for the earth kami send a rumbling warning, shaking their current location to raise the alarm.
Nomes em outras tradições
- Mercy of the Sun Goddess (Ancestral)
- Embrace of the Stone Kami (Elemental)
- Amaterasu's Petrifying Gaze (Fortunist)
Regras
- Ativação
As an Attack action, you may make a TN 6 Theology (Earth) check targeting one character at range 0–1.
- Efeitos
If you succeed and the target is a Tainted being, you call upon the earth kami to purify it, slowly transforming the target into jade. At the beginning of each of the target’s turns, reducing the value of each of its rings by 1. This effect persists for a number of rounds equal to your Earth Ring plus your bonus successes. If any of its rings are reduced to 0 in this manner, the target is turned entirely into jade—it can only be freed if the statue is damaged or destroyed. Because the statue is jade, it causes the area at range 0–2 around it to count as Hallowed (Earth) terrain (see page 267).
If you succeed and your target is not a Tainted being, it suffers no ill effects.
