Ritual of Specter Creation
This ritual turns a character into a Specter, an incorporeal lesser undead creature. The Specter is under the control of the caster of the ritual. The player of the character who died must now play the newly- created undead creature. When the Specter is reduced to zero or less Body Points, the undead body dissolves into dust. The player takes one Death on their character card and may now go to the Healer's Circle to have their spirit resurrected. Specter lasts until destroyed or two months – the month the ritual was cast and the following month – if the target character can resurrect. If the character is un-resurrectable, then this ritual is permanent until the Specter is destroyed.
Cost, Casting Time & Components
Like every Rank 1 ritual, this ritual's exact Temporary Power Point cost, casting time, and component count are set within the Rank 1 range by a Magic Marshal when the ritual is created - see How Rituals Work for the full rank table and general casting rules.
