Sorcery (1 Bonus Point)
The Bloody Journey (Kalay Haj - The journey returning to one's own blood.)
This ritual creates a lodestone that sings to the sorcerer's blood and allows the sorcerer to travel to the lodestone. The sorcerer may create a number of lodestones equal to their ranks in Wisdom. To create the lodestone the Sorcerer recites the ritual as they coat the object in their own blood (Rank 1 Injury). The sorcerer now always knows the direction of the lodestone. The sorcerer can, at any time, within a year and a day, repeat two the Ritual's Title and the name of the lodestone. This opens a portal for the sorcerer to the lodestone.

The portal is not direct. It carries the sorcerer and whoever journeys with them along a winding howling path, a path that only the mad open their eyes upon. Eventually, the path opens onto a portal that stands before the lodestone. To the observer the journey seems instantaneous. Each portal closes as soon as the sorcerer steps through them. Thus, any companions must enter the path before the sorcerer and exit before he does.

Invoke: Gain 3 bonus dice when attempting a Strength risk

Hey dude,

That seems a bit too generalised, having it for any Strength risk... Aspects should be for one type of action only. Perhaps Gain 3 dice when "undertaking Bloody Murder", or "when crushing something", or "ripping something apart", or "undertaking an act of brutal physical cruelty", etc?

ACK! Don't know how that slipped past me. It is fixed along with the three other things that I had changed after I uploaded him and forgot to edit.

Poor, poor Ithilmar Rusu...

Ah yes, well we haven't heard the last of Ithilmar.

But Chris totally spent style! ^_^

Yep, Ithilmar is deader than a doornail.

[Paint Scribe]

It's that dwarf!!!

[Keith Fyans]

Yeah, in life he travelled a sorcerous, winding howling path, a path that only the mad open their eyes upon. Just the sort of place a dead spectre of the person would wait for the unwary that try use his magics for their own advantage.

Just one thought...

[Nihilistic Mind]

Oh, but Arisaph and his Vassals would never... never take advantage of such foul Sorcery!
