Raise Volcano

Raise Volcano
Ritual Rank 12
Prerequisites: Eldritch Rank 10, Lava Flow as a Mastered Spell
Potency: 60
Components: 5 bottles of Fire Essence and a Fire Elemental's Spark.
Requirement: You must be outside, or have an unobstructed view of the location where you would like to raise the volcano
Cost: 3 Karma, 20 Stamina Burn, and 20 Resolve Burn
Prep Time: 5 Days
Cast Time: 6 hours
Effect: You bury the Fire Elemental's Spark 40ft feet beneath the ground, at the center of the area where you would like to raise your Volcano. You then spend 5 days in deep meditation, consuming one bottle of Fire Essence each day and attuning yourself with the Spark. On the 6th day, you retreat to a safe location within 2 miles (but within sight of the location of the Spark) and then begin your chant, breathing new life into the spark with your own energies.

At the completion of your chant, the ground rumbles as a volcano is raised from the ground (approximately 500ft in diameter at its base with a 50ft diameter caldera and approximately 200ft tall), which immediately erupts.

  • The eruption causes a blast of superheated ash which decimates everything within 1000ft, creating a Rank 8 Natural Disaster.
  • This ash cloud is followed by a flow of lava, which destroys most structures within 500ft (or covers them in lava if particularly strong).
  • The duration of the initial phase of the Natural Disaster is felt over just a few minutes, rarely giving enough time to evacuate people and creatures from the area.

On the 4th day of preparations, the power behind this ritual is felt by natural animals within 3 miles, and they instinctively flee the surrounding area.
