Simple mishaps to start the ritual generally result in lessened results or greater difficulty in evicting the spirit at the ritual’s end. Major mishaps generally result in a permanent transformation and enslavement by Set, or in an agonizing death.A simple failure while attempting to end the ritual usually means the ritual simply does not end.  Simple mishaps generally result in an increased difficulty in subsequent attempts to end the ritual.  Major mishaps generally result in a permanent transformation and enslavement by Set, or in an agonizing death.Witches and Warlocks using this ritual: A witch adds her caster level to the check for ending the ritual.</blockquote>
