Effect The turbulent koi egg churns the lake surface, ejecting water into the sky. A 1-mile-radius area centered on the egg becomes filled with heavy rain and strong wind imposing a -2 circumstance penalty to Perception checks and requiring flying creatures to .
Disable DC 27 arcana, DC 27 religion, DC 27 nature, or DC 27 occultism to purify the magic corrupting the ascension ritual, or DC 30 diplomacy or DC 30 performance to soothe the spirit within the koi egg and give it the strength to fight off the corruption itself; four total successes are required to purify the ritual, each of the first three successes purifying one ring of water and the final one halting the ritual itself. If the cursed comb has not been removed from the ritual site, then succeeding on this final check merely halts the ritual; if the cursed comb has been removed from the ritual site, then succeeding on this final check completes the ascension ritual.
A raging storm covers the mountain lake as spring water levitates from the lake to fall back down in a driving spiral of steaming rain. In the depths of the storm, barely visible, is a tiny koi egg surrounded by three bands of water.
