Beauty’s Face

Evening.

Here is a little something that will appear this summer. It will be in the book due out in August. It is a new Ritual.

Beauty’s Face

Range: Touch

Duration: Rounds equal to caster’s Resolution

Performed On: Others, Self

This Ritual was developed by the Ministère de la Magie pour la Préservation du Soleil Trône in 1631 as a means to aid the French diplomatic corps. This Ritual was guarded closely, but knowledge of it leaked out in 1721 in a small book titled La Magie des Arts et les Arts de la Magie, but Benoît de la Nord. Though the Ministère de la Magie tired to suppress knowledge of this Ritual, it was quickly spread, and many learned it. This Ritual, when cast, magically enhances a person’s beauty, aiding them in negotiations.

A Successful casting of this Ritual gives a person a +1 (+2 for a Critical Success) to all Diplomacy Tests for a number of Rounds equal to the caster’s Resolution. Failing the Ritual Test, a person suffers a -1 (-2 for a Critical Failure) to all Diplomacy Tests for a number of Rounds equal to the caster’s Resolution. A Critical Failure gives a person a -4 to all Diplomacy Tests.

There is a lot more where this came from.
