Beastmastery Detection Experiments

This is a ritual to make one-shot items to detect beastmastered or otherwise mind-magicked people. I have confirmed that this is a power 5 ritual.

The items will be origami animals that can be burned & when you look thorough the smoke you can see mind influences on people. Either Cranes or Phoenixes. Crane is for sight, Phoenix for magic - Phoenix might object less to her image being lit on fire...

Nope, that doesn't quite work. The smoke flows towards anyone beast mastered in the area.

Invoke the Tao:

• Int with Feng Shui to lay out the implements and materials. 1st person
• Yang with Magic Ritual!
• Wits with Perception to find and select the correct ones! 2nd person
• Yin with Magic Ritual.

Invoke the Elements:

Spirits that seem appropriate to invoke include Bear, Dog, Crane, Magpie, Phoenix.

• Place the paper into a metal frame to write on it. Magpie in some way?
• Calligraphy to draw characters for sight, mind, etc. on the paper. Creation with Metal. (to make this metal use a metallic ink or metal stylus or stamp?)
  • Make this Creation with Earth by using charcoal or chalk to write with. Write signs for the Empire with explicit Dragon iconography.
• Animal Handling to have a dog place a wet paw print on the paper. Control of Water (Wanted Dog cause he's one of the defending spirits.)
  • Make it a bloodhound.
• Crumble up a stone and use the sand to dry the paper? Destruction of Earth.
  • Dismantle the frame. Destruction of Metal.
• Origami to fold it into a paper crane (or phoenix). Transformation of Wood.

The dust goes into your eyes! Yang soaked by perception dice loss!

• No longer any dust. Cut yourself on the metal pieces to soak the Yang.

The Yin goes into the crane!.
