Gates of Night [Darkness]
  • Key Skill: Listen.
  • Time: 1 round.
  • Ritual: The worlds of the Kamala are normally separated by a planar divide that is difficult to cross. However, certain magics exist that can bridge the gap, creating a portal between the two planes. Among the easiest (& most unreliable) means of doing so is a simple ritual that could even be performed by accident, given the right circumstances. In the depths of the night, a window can be opened between the two worlds by merely drawing a circle with a piece of chalk. The circle must be closed, & must be between 2’-7’ in diameter (1d6+1); it can be drawn on any vertical surface large enough to hold the complete circle. If the circle is drawn correctly, a faint whispered chant can be heard for a few moments near the circle (within 10’). If you make a successful Listen check (DC30), then you hear the chant.
  • Effects: If you then repeat the chant aloud, the circle of chalk becomes an open portal to the other plane until the sun rises on Siraaj, allowing passage in both directions for any creature than can fit through. The portal looks like a disk of silvery smoke, through which the moonlit world of the other plane can be seen. This cannot be performed on the night of the full moon or the new moon, & can only be performed once per night.
  • Untrained: Simple. Knowledge (The Planes) to learn.
  • Failure: If you fail during the Listen check, then nothing happens, but you cannot try again for 1 hour.
  • Removal: GD, LW, MW.
