Fertility Ward [Good]
  • Prerequisites: Female only; any good alignment.
  • Key Skill: Perform (any instrument or singing).
  • Time: 5 minutes.
  • Ritual: Since time immemorial, people have wanted to ensure that they can have healthy children. One potent way of doing this is for someone is the play the Ballad of the Wandering Moon (Ashizai aq-Qamar), an Admajai song idolizing the moon Qamar & its role in delivering souls from one world to the next in an endless cycle of harmony & rebirth. Reciting this song correctly requires a Perform check (any instrument or singing, DC20) after dedicating it in the name of the intended target.
  • Effects: If successful, the ritual’s magic ensures that the target will be fertile for one full year, as well protecting any unborn children of the target from magical attacks/corruption during that period. The intended target must have heard the performance of the song, & it permitted a Fortitude save (DC10, harmless) to negate the effects, if they wish to do so.
  • Untrained: Dangerous; your Perform check’s DC goes up by +10, & even attempting this ritual deals 1d4 points of Strength damage, leaving you fatigued. Knowledge (Nature) to learn.
  • Failure: If you fail during the Ballad of the Wandering Moon, then all that is lost is time (although you still suffer 1d4 points of Strength damage for the attempt, if using untrained).
  • Removal: GD, LW, MW.
