QuellLifeSpell/Paincake

Quell Life - Shadowlands -- Paincake
Cost: 10+ motes

The Abyssal Exalt is a direct challenge to the living. This spell is an outright declaration of intent upon creation, and can be felt for (caster's Essence in miles) around. The caster must focus inside of himself and find that small, beautiful core of light that all living persons(even Abyssals) hold. (If cast by a nonliving being or a Deathlord, this spell requires the sacrifice of a living being man sized or larger) The Abyssal then quashes this soft bright self-fragment, lifts his head to the world, and speaks a direct challenge tinged with his soul-blood. Trees and plants wither and die, animals become infertile, or are born twisted and sick. The elderly take ill and children fall at play. Plants are stricken with blight. Treat the environment as though it were a Shadowland except for entry to the Underworld and essence regeneration. This effect lasts for a day, during which the sun filters through dense clouds or rain.

Mechanically, all living people in the zone suffer a -2 penalty to all physical actions and -1 to willpower rolls. (including the caster, if he is alive) This can be resisted each scene they are in sunlight with a successful willpower roll. For 10 extra motes(committed) the duration is extended to a week, but the strain on the caster causes an unsoakable level of Aggravated damage. This spell cannot be cast again for a month, or until the health levels heal. This is due to the regeneration of self necessary to once again blight the world in this manner.
