Ritual: Blinding Justice
Cost: 3 minor charges.
Ritual Action: Take official paperwork detailing some form of exoneration: court records of a not guilty verdict or a health inspection certificate with a passing grade. Wrap it around a piece of evidence that contradicts the paperwork, be it a murder weapon or a dead rat dug out of the restaurant’s deep fryer. Seal the parcel with freshly harvested pine sap in a porcelain sink that’s older than you are while reciting the Zoroastrian prayer for peace. Leave it in a public place. Once you have put it down walk away and do not return for at least 3 and a half hours. Don’t not look back. If the parcel is gone when you have returned the ritual has succeeded. Do not ever repeat it again.
Effect: Authorities are at a -30% shift to rolls to associate you with the last legal infraction or crime you committed. This includes jaywalking and other minor infringements so if you’re looking to misdirect something serious you’ll have to watch your interim behaviour. Any roll that fails because of this penalty instead points towards whoever removed the parcel from where you abandoned it, no matter how absurd the connection.
If you ever try a second time, regardless of the success of the first attempt, the penalty instead becomes a bonus for authorities. Should you come to their attention, other crimes or infractions you could have conceivably committed but didn’t become associated with you by coincidental means. This secondary effect provides no concrete evidence of links but is circumstantially compelling.
