Nightmare (4E)

Nightmare

Creating an effigy, you put it trough a harrowing ritual spectacle, sure that the victim will experience equally terrible nightmares.

Level: 7	Component Cost: 150 gp
Category: Deception	Market Price: 250 gp
Time: 1 hour	Key Skill: Arcana
Duration: Instant

The nightmare prevents restful sleep and disrupts the target’s next long rest, as long as the target is within 25 miles. The ritual works better if you have knowledge of the target. Make an Arcana check against the target’s Will defense, with the following modifiers to the Arcana check.

If the recipient is not resting when the ritual begins, you can choose to cease casting (ending the ritual) or continue and wait for the target to go to start resting. The ritual casting begins properly once the victim begins a long rest.
