153 - Goldfish In The Coalmine & Witchtest

Ritual: Goldfish In The Coalmine

Cost: 2 minor charges.

Ritual Action: Obtain one of those “goldfish in a water filled baggie” deals (it actually works better if you win it as a prize, +10% shift). Add a pinch of confetti thrown at a wedding for a marriage that ended in divorce and a nail clipping from your left index finger that is at least 3 months old. Hold the bag directly in front of you with your arm straight and recite the Serenity Prayer, better known by its adoption as the A.A pledge.

Effect: For so long as you hold the baggie stiff-armed ahead of you, you’ve got a one-shot magick detector. It’s reasonably sensitive, brought within 33 yards of any kind of active effect, artifact or unnatural entity or 3 yards of an adept or avatar, it goes off but provides no other information. This causes the goldfish to die instantly and float upside down to the top of the bag.


Ritual: Witchtest

Cost: 1 significant charge.

Ritual Action: Take 333 state standardized tests (school, driving, etc. Anything government administered) with failing grades and scatter them over a body of fresh water. Someone who is responsible for the death of an adept must bite their right thumb hard enough to draw blood, bleed into the water and make a recognized spiritual or religious appeal against being tricked or confused by evil.

Effect: The next adept who would drown in that body of water, by accident or intent, cannot. This effect only applies once and should they leave the body of water, even for just a second, the protection fades and they're just as susceptible as the rest of us.
