Custom Blood Magic: Ritual

 

Casting time: 1 hour

Difficulty: 9 Traits

With this Ritual, two willing individuals may swap souls for a previously agreed upon length of time. Participants must naturally have souls (no putting a willing soul into a construct, then conducting this ritual). A containment circle is drawn, and both individuals offer one internal statement of love, one of truth, and one of justice to call the Marassa Jumeaux. If any coercion was used (mundane or supernatural), the summoning of the Loa will not work, and the ritual will automatically fail. Once the chwal (possession) is successful, a Marassa will enter each body, taking the soul with them as they enter the other participant. Once switched, the Marassa Jumeaux will simultaneously light both ends of a tapered candle, then leave the bodies of the participants. The wangatuer will have prepared the candle such that the length of time the ritual lasts is as long as the candle burns, at most this Ritual will last until the sunset following the casting. When the candle extinguishes itself, the two souls return to their original bodies, no matter the state of the body. Once lit, the candle cannot be extinguished by mundane means.
