Foundation's Form

This Ritual causes the Target to take on some characteristics of a specific type of Foundation Elemental, chosen by the Caster of the Ritual, during the casting.

The Caster must select from Stone, Lightning, Ice, and Flame when declaring the Ritual Target. The target gains immunity to the selected element and must call “No effect” when hit by an attack with that damage type. Additionally, a character targeted by this Ritual who also has the Channel Foundation Element High Magic, may use the effect chosen for that High Magic ability, as well as the element selected for this Ritual.

The target also gains a vulnerability to the opposing element (Ice and Flame are opposed, as are Stone and Lightning), taking damage of that type as Body, as well as being considered an Elemental for the purposes of Subjugate effects.

Targets of this ritual must wear makeup on their face, covering an area of at least 4 square inches, creating a symbol that is identifiable associated with the selected Element. This makeup must be colored appropriate to the element selected by the Caster: Stone - gray, brown; Lightning - yellow, purple; Ice - blue, white; Flame - red, orange. If the Target is playing a race that requires makeup, the mark must be easily distinguishable from their normal makeup.

Only a single copy of this Ritual may be present on a Target, with any additional casting overwriting the prior one.

This ritual requires a minimum of 5 reagents to cast.
