Blood Rite Reclamation

You attempt to restore a single creature to its natural state, purging corruption and mending the damage inflicted upon its body and spirit.

You touch a creature afflicted by plague, disease, poison, curses, or magical corruption and channel the cycle of life through them. Rot is forced out, vitality is rekindled, and their body struggles to remember what it once was.

This spell can:

• End disease and poison effects
• Remove one plague, curse, or magical corruption effect from a creature (DM discretion)
• Restore 4d8 + Wisdom modifier hit points
• Neutralize lingering toxins or unnatural alterations in the body

However, this ritual is unstable and taxing.

Ritual Mechanics

During the 1-hour casting, you must maintain concentration and guide the restoration process.

At three points during the ritual (start, midpoint, end making 9 total checks), make the following checks (DC 16):

• Nature (Wisdom): Align the creature with natural balance
• Medicine (Wisdom): Repair physical harm and stabilize their body
• Constitution Saving Throw (Concentration): Endure the strain of channeling life force

Each failed check introduces instability:

• Nature Failure: The corruption resists—the plague advances and the creature can lash out with a melee attack roll.
• Medicine Failure: The creature and the caster both take 2d6 necrotic damage each as the restoration tears through them unevenly.
• Concentration Failure: You suffer 1 level of Exhaustion.

If 3 checks are failed consecutively or if the caster breaks Concentration, the ritual backfires immediately:
The creature remains corrupted and both the caster and creature suffer 6d6 psychic damage and 1 level of Exhaustion on top of any other penalties incurred.

If the caster succeeds in 6 or more of the checks, the ritual completes:

• The creature is fully restored.

• All magical corruption, curses, plagues and any lingering desecration or disfigurement is cured.

On a perfect success (no failed checks):

• The creature gains natural immunity to the plagues and disease.
