303 - Inversion

Ritual: Inversion

Cost: 1 significant charge.

Ritual Action: Make a effigy of the target out of beeswax and Hagamoro Fulltouch chalk. Dig a hole in front of a misprinted sign for a sizable location, no smaller than a city street. Bury it submerged in the vomit of a person  or person's nauseated by an amusement park ride.

Effect: The target's sense of space proprioception is flipped, it feels like the ground is up and they'll instinctively reach behind themselves to manipulate objects in front of them. This disorientation provokes a rank 4 Unnatural check and gives a persistent -20% shift to physical actions after the initial shock has worn off. Over time acclimation will let them shed this penalty, but no faster than 10% per month of dedicated spatial therapy.

If they ever enter the location the effect immediately flips back while they're there. Depending on their condition this can create its own problems. Digging up the effigy ends the effect.
