Sanctified Ground

Effect

Resource cost: 1 Salt Pouch use + 10 minutes of ritual.

Consecrate a small area (one room, one campsite, one crossroads). For 24 hours, the area gains the following properties:

• Veil-Born creatures entering the area suffer −2 dice (Pool Penalty) to all actions.
• The Tension Pool cannot increase from events inside the area (violence, psionics, fumbles inside the space do not add dice).
• Characters inside gain +1 to all Fear resistance checks.

Special

The consecration is visible in the supernatural spectrum — Psionics and Veil-Born can see the ward as a faint luminescence. Destroying the salt circle breaks the consecration.
