Sorcery

Emerald Circle

Ripple Blade - 10m
Dipping her fingers into a body of water, the sorcerer pulls them out and shapes a powerful mudra. She flicks the water from her fingers back into the body whence she drew it, and the ripples form the outline of a blade. The sorcerer reaches into the water and pulls this blade out. It is invisible on the material plane, though tangible, but creatures who can perceive the immaterial see it as an unornamented black jade daiklave with a triangular blade. The Ripple Blade, due to its invisibility, imposes a -1 external penalty to its wielder's attack pool, and decreases the DV of its targets by 1 as well. The Ripple Blade disturbs the flow of Essence in its targets. Every successful attack it makes (that is, every attack that inflicts at least 1 level of damage) increases the cost of all supernatural powers the target possesses by two motes for the rest of the scene. Multiple hits do not stack. The Ripple Blade lasts as long as its wielder commits the motes, or until the sun next touches the horizon.

Ravenous Whirlpool Gate - 20m
The necromancer stands over a body of water at least twenty meters across. As he speaks the final word of the Roaring Slaughter-Goddess Sutra, the lake collapses, its center falling away to form a great whirlpool almost as wide as the lake itself, stretching down into darkness. The stygian chill of the Underworld rises from it, and the shrieking of spectres can be heard over the roar of the waters. From that point on, any living thing that falls into the whirlpool dies and its body is deposited in the corresponding place in the Underworld, falling from that realm's cancerous sky. Any gods, elementals, demons, or Fair Folk must make an opposed Essence roll with the caster. Failure means that they are deposited in the Underworld, their Essence pools emptied, with a number of health levels remaining equal to half their permanent Essence. A botch means that they are destroyed, and a small votive icon marked with one of the Runes of Annihilation is deposited in the Underworld in their place, made of a material appropriate to the entity. Success on the Essence roll, however, means that the entity is simply deposited in the Underworld with an empty Essence pool. Artifacts pass through the Ravenous Whirlpool Gate unharmed, but all mundane items are reduced to scrap. Abyssals and ghosts may pass through the whirlpool without harm. if the caster jumps into the whirlpool, it closes behind her. Otherwise, it endures for three hours. Necromancers use this spell to save the time of making a return trip to the Underworld with a load of corpses, thereby speeding up the production of necrotech devices. Unfortunately, the corpses that pass through the Ravenous Whirlpool Gate are in pretty poor shape, so the number of functional parts (for the purposes of necrotech) is one-fourth what it would normally be for the number of corpses.
