Cost: 2 minor charges.
Ritual Action: Charging rituals are as rare as hen's teeth, sometimes it's easier to steal power from those too foolish to keep it.
Following a full night's sleep after staying awake for 3 whole days, write down a ritual of your own devising that makes a promise of ambiguous power. Use the gutter magick guidelines as a bare minimum for the inspiration your oscillating sleep state provides you with, but the more elaborate the better (the GM is encouraged to provide a positive shift if it's really good).
Send the ritual to your target via email. Include no fewer than 3 grammatical or spelling errors and one dubious promise of arcane provenance ("believe it or not, i am the comet the saint german and you are the only one who can help me escape the bind im in..."). Do not resend the ritual to them or anyone else or it will not function.
Effect: If the target performs the ritual they lose a significant charge, if they have it. If they don't have a significant charge they instead lose up to as many minor charges as you spent casting this ritual, plus one. If they have no charges they don't lose anything. You gain any charges lost by them. Only the first casting by a target steals charges.
There are rumours of several versions of this ritual floating around, some steal charges every time your fake ritual is cast by the target, some may effect any number of targets. Ironically some of them were created by casting this ritual themselves. Not this one though. Would I, the ghost of John Dee, lie to you?
