Drawing on the latent power suffused within Pol-Bailax by its phoenix patron, you and the secondary casters send an ephemeral rush of cleansing energy through the city. Those within the area when the ritual successfully concludes are immediately cured of all detrimental emotion and mental effects; affected creatures cease any current hostilities as though they'd failed a save against calm, though this doesn't control their future actions.


Critical Success The ritual's power lingers within its casters, granting them a +1 status bonus against emotion and mental effects for 1 month.

Spell Effect: Rite of Cleansing Flame (Critical Success)

Success The ritual succeeds.

Failure The ritual has its intended effect, but alters its casters' forms as they fail to contain the phoenix's power. All casters develop a feature reminiscent of a phoenix, such as feathers, glowing red eyes, or talons, and gain weakness 5 to cold and unholy. This is a curse effect.

Spell Effect: Rite of Cleansing Flame (Failure)

Critical Failure As failure, but each caster must succeed at a DC 17 fortitude save or be permanently Drained 1 for as long as they have the phoenix features.

Traits

Consecration

A consecration spell enhances an area for an extended period of time. A given area can have only a single consecration effect at a time. The new effect attempts to counteract any existing one in areas of overlap.

Fire

Effects with the fire trait deal fire damage, or either conjure or manipulate fire. Those that manipulate fire have no effect in an area without fire. Creatures with this trait consist primarily of fire or have a connection to magical fire.
