Rite Of Cleansing
From Atlantic Roleplay Wiki
Title: Rite of Cleansing
Author: Unknown
Book 4 of the series: The Seven Rites of Lichdom.
At this stage on the Path to Lichdom, it is necessary to Purify oneself, removing the corporeal body from all sources of contamination outside that from one's own soul.
All contact with those that serve a power or draw power from a realm must be denied. Ward spells that keep out numerous beasts and minions of the realms must be cast daily to prevent interference.
Whilst these Wards do contain magic, they will not hinder the cleansing.
Magic other than wards cannot be cast during this time lasting until the time of Rebirth. The magical limit may be breached no more than Seven times before the completion of the Path.
There is a further stricture - The Seven Rites must also be separated by a minimum of seven days.
The Rite commences when the Mage establishes the wards at his Ritual spot.
All the time that the mage is not occupied must be spent contemplating and cleansing the soul.
