323 - Eating for Two

Ritual: Eating for Two

Cost: 1 minor charge.

Ritual Action: No planning or preparation can go into casting the ritual. Go to the nearest place which sells food and prophylactics (probably a supermarket or gas station) and buy six items of food you've never eaten before plus a pack of condoms. Mix all the food together, you'll probably need to blend it, and pour the resulting combination into the condoms. Poke a few holes in each and swallow them. You have to eat all the food.

Effect: You attract the attention of a demon, which takes up residence in your stomach for the duration. You can lopsidedly communicate, it can hear you and poke at your belly to respond. Maybe you'll get one who can do morse code. It can't possess you unless you were already especially vulnerable, but you can sick it on other people. You just need to get them to eat a mixture of the foods you used to cast the ritual.

Otherwise it lasts just over 3 hours. Hopefully you got your money's worth because it won't work again for nine months. Likewise you won't be able to conceive a child for the same length of time (and god help you if you were pregnant at the time of casting, demon babies are no fun to take care of).
