[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 7355065, member: 4937"] Purify yourself and your motives though fasting, flagellation, meditation, ritual cleanliness, sacrifices and offerings or other ritual appropriate to the belief system of the caster and the spiritual powers on whose behalf he is acting or upon whose help he intends to call for aid. (Failure leaves one with vainglorious or other impure motive.) Research the history of or become acquainted with the possessed in order to increase your sympathy toward the sufferer and thus the passion and will you can muster during the ritual. (Failure you learn only things that weaken your sympathy for the sufferer, reducing your will to change their condition.) As a note on other ideas, the object of sentimental value intended to strengthen the will of the one that is possessed need not be an object. It could be also be a person that is truly beloved by the person who is possessed who reciprocates those feelings. Enlisting the aid of sacred relic or potent enemy of the spirit is particularly effective if that relic or enemy was involved in defeating the spirit in the past. Spending points could have benefits toward doing more than winning the ritual, but also could be used to thwart actions that the spirit might do to try to stop the ritual, such as attempting to harm the possessed victim or otherwise trying to ensure that even if it loses its tormentor does not win. It's not merely persons that can be possessed, but also items and locations. Also a similar ritual could be used against curses generally. [/QUOTE]
