You torment your foe by turning him into a much weaker form.
Level: 7 | Component Cost: 190 |
Category: Binding | Market Price: 260 |
Time: 10 minutes | Key Skill: Arcana |
Duration: Special |
You use this ritual on a helpless creature. Usually it is cast on a defeated but live enemy you do not wish to kill. It turns the target into a creature much weaker than normal. Select a creature of a level equal to one third of the target's level (it is permissible to level up a lower-level creature) and not be minion, leader, elite, or solo. This works like a power with the Assume Form keyword.
When you use the ritual, the target turns into the selected creature, hereafter called the assumed form. While the ritual is in effect, remove the target from play and replace it with the assumed form.
The duration of the ritual depends on the result of the Arcana check.

10-19 | A year and a day |
20-29 | A decade and a day |
30-39 | A century and a day |
40 or higher | A millenium and a day |
