Cost: 1 significant charge.
Ritual Action: Make plans with someone who already owns their own burial plot, doesn’t matter what the plans are so long as they have to meet you somewhere and genuinely believe you will. Go to the plot and dig it up, a hole six feet deep and rectangular is what you’re after. Instead of following through with the plans, at the time you’re supposed to meet them climb into the hole, eat the petals from three plastic roses and lay down with your arms crossed over your chest.
Effect: You leave your body. This kind of astral projection is kind of a drag in comparison to the typical stories: you’re only sort of intangible (can't interact with anything, you can pass through solid objects but it feels unpleasant and you have to press against them really hard, on the other hand so long as you keep moving you won’t sink into the ground) and you can’t fly (or drive what with the whole semi-intangible thing, so unless you have a chauffeur you're walking). On the other hand you’re invisible and ghost-you is invulnerable to most forms of physical harm (you’ll want to be selective about what walls you walk through since live electrical wiring still packs a whallop and magick works on you just fine). Your physical body is comatose and unfeeling for the duration, if it dies then you do too.
The effect lasts for as long as the person you stood up waits for you to show. If they leave (or see your body, somehow) it ends and you snap back from wherever you were, this is nauseating commensurate with the distance it pulled you back across. Anything more than a mile results in incapacitated wretching for a minute or two. Having an accomplice who can string them along for a while with promises you’re on your way is probably your best bet for getting a useful duration out of this ritual.
