Homunculus

The Homunculus Ritual allows the Target Spirit to siphon off some of their magical essence into a small doll in order to fuel certain protective capabilities. Upon a successful casting of this Ritual, the Target Doll and Target Spirit become connected, as per Spirit Lock. The presence of any other Rituals on the Target Doll, when this Ritual is cast, will result in the Ritual failing and causing a backlash. The Doll may not be targeted by any other non-Instantaneous Duration rituals while the Homunculus effect is present. These Rituals will automatically fail, but not necessarily backlash.

If a refusable ritual effect would target the user’s spirit, the user may destroy the Homunculus and call “Resist” to prevent the effect. Note that while some rituals are instantaneous, other effects are persistent (such as certain aspects of the Spirit Link ritual) and may attempt to target the user’s spirit again if interacted with a second time.

Additionally, at the start of every Logistics Period, the user may expend a memorized Celestial spell of 7th level or greater, and mark it off with an H on their battleboard, to gain one of the following abilities:

• Heightened Dispel: Each purchase of this ability grants the character one “Arcane Dispel” deliverable via touchcast packet. This ability can be purchased up to three times in a Logistics Period and any unused effects expire at the end of the Logistics Period.
• Obscured Spirit: While this ability is active the Homunculus effect and the associated Spirit Link will appear as Unidentified Rituals, as if an Obfuscate was present on the Homunculus. A second purchase will act as an Obfuscate on the character’s Spirit. This ability may only be selected twice each Logistics Period.
• Elemental Asylum: When activated at the start of the Logistics Period, the player must select from Stone, Lightning, Ice, or Flame, and will receive a Planar Asylum effect to the selected plane. This ability may only be selected once each Logistics Period.

This ritual requires a minimum of 7 reagents to cast. Any additional reagents required by the ritual must be of the same types as listed on the ritual scroll.

• 9:7 Reagents - Up to one ability may be selected each Logistics Period.
• 17:13 Reagents - Up to two abilities may be selected each Logistics Period.
• 24:18 Reagents - Up to three abilities may be selected each Logistics Period.
• 30:22 Reagents - Up to four abilities may be selected each Logistics Period.
• 35:25 Reagents - Up to five abilities may be selected each Logistics Period.
• 41:27 Reagents - Up to six abilities may be selected each Logistics Period.
