Thirteen Abyssal Steps

Ingame Description
1. All close family members, generally believed to be at least twice removed, must be killed by the caster's own hands. It is traditionally accepted that this is to eliminate familial bonds that could lead to the soul haunting the family instead of being contained within the body.

2. The blood of these family members must be drained and contained within lead vases, the metal coming from mines along waylines below sea level.

3. The most prized heirloom of the caster must be burned or grinded into a dust, and the dust must be evenly sprinkled inside the vases of blood.

4. ???

5. ???

6. The Caster must approach one of the world's Towers to the point of Exposure Sickness. The caster must then vomit out blood until faint, and cast a spell to ensure that they remain stricken by blood loss for the remainder of the ritual.

7. Ritual symbols must be carved upon several points of the caster's body, matching symbols must be carved into the remains of the caster's family.

8. A ritual circle must be drawn by the caster's own blood, matching the carvings on their body.

9. Eight innocents (normally children) must be sacrificed at once, at points among the circle.

10. The blood from each vase must be consumed, failure to finish each will result in death.

11. ???

12. ???

13. The caster commits suicide by slitting their own throat at the center of the circle. They will rise anew in seven days.
