Spell: Ash-Strewn Ending
Lo, speak of the hero-gods and their ash-strewn endings! Sing of their might as it falls on the land! Taste the bone and char that binds their life to yours! This ritual focuses on the burning of a mythic creature's corpse on a pyre in an outdoor location. Once the corpse has been reduced to ashes, the wind scatters those ashes across a 1,000-foot radius. As the ash lands on creatures within this radius, a fragment of the dead creature's mythic power flows into them.
Critical Success Death has a lessened claim upon those in the ritual's area of effect. All creatures that were of a level equal to or lower than the level of the mythic creature incinerated as part of the ritual gain resistance 10 to void damage and a +2 status bonus to saving throws against death effects and to recovery checks.
Success As critical success, but only as long as the creature remains in the ritual's area.
Failure The ritual has no effect.
Critical Failure Grief washes over the area, and the threat of death looms more closely over the casters, who all gain weakness 10 to void damage and a –2 status penalty to saving throws against death effects and to recovery checks. This is a curse effect.
