| Description
of Ritual: |
This ritual
requires sesame seeds that are enchanted in a twenty-minute ritual, where
they are steeped in a solution of olive oil and salt as the caster incants,
then allowed to dry. When sprinkled into the keyhole of a metal lock (the
lock must be a padlock, or separable from the object it is locking in some
fashion, and must be metal) accompanied by a brief incantation, the lock
may open. In this instance, a small lock is one weighing up to a half-pound,
a mid-sized lock weighs up to five pounds and a large lock weighs up to
twenty pounds. This ritual cannot affect locking devices larger than twenty
pounds. |
| System: |
The caster
rolls Perception + Koldunism (difficulty 4) and consults the following table
of Successes. A Botch indicates that the lock has been jammed inside, and
all future attempts to open it will be at -2 dice to the roll.
1 - The lock has been
weakened, and it may be forced with an extra two dice added to the forcer's
strength roll.
2 - Small locks will open. Mid-sized locks may be forced with an additional
two dice added to the roll.
3 - Small locks will crumble. Mid-sized locks will open. Large locks can
be forced with an extra die added to the roll.
4 - Small and mid-sized locks will crumble. Large locks will open.
