Law of the Word (Intermediate Ritual)
For the longest time the Law of the Word was one of the Laws of Haqim, but it has become apparent that it was not followed in this day and age like it once was. This ritual was created to ensure that whatever answers were given by one under the effects of this ritual. That those answers were true and unblemished.
Mechanics:
This ritual affects a general area about the size of a room along with the single individual you wish to question within its aura of effect. The ashipu prepares the ritual location by burning incense and smoking khalife as they fill the air of the enclosed space with the pungent aroma. After the air is saturated with the aromas there is one more step. The spilling of blood. Whoever you wish to speak the truth when asked questions must have their blood added to the air by a few drops in a burning flame, so it may turn to smoke and permeate the ritual area. This binds the one that has bled in this way and to tell the truth and follow the word of the law. No falsehood may be spoken within the area of effect regardless of the speakers wish. They must answer any direct questions fully and candidly with no creative omissions.
This may be done against the person’s will and might require challenges to get the blood from their system or other means of storage. This ritual is not restricted to one person at a time under its effects. This ritual lasts a scene or an hour.
