Description:

-------------------------------------

This ritual allows the Sorcerer to attempt to change the Race/Color/Gender of a Carcosan Human. This ritual was used by the Serpent Men to modify their human ritual components to the appropriate type when low on a specific type. It was also used to purge anomalies such as mutations and purify human hybrids into being pure Human of specific type. Unfortunately for the Sorcerer, it does not work as effectively for them as it did for the Serpent Men who created it. It only works perfectly on a Natural 20. In fact there is always side effects to the target, unless the ritual is performed at a roll of 25+ or Natural 20.

-------------------------------------

Critical Success: Ritual works as intended by the Serpent Men. Target is changed without flaw to new race/color and/or any anomalies and/or mutations are purified as well.

-------------------------------------

Critical Fumble: The caster is changed into a different race, suffers the effects of Casting Corruption and gains 1D4 miscast side effects. Must also make a Fortitude save at -2 or turn into a mindless flailing tentacled blob that leaks ooze.
