Crimson Offering

The Crimson Offering

A thought to be lost and forbidden spell of the thought to be forgotten and mysterious Shattered Goddess Arrina, the Crimson Offering is more so the giving of ones very body, lifeforce and soul toward her with such potency that only a being such as the Overgod may prevent it, in doing so any contracts for your soul to any other being is immediately served once the spell is cast and upon death your soul will be immediately taken into her shattered divine realm from which little is known.

The Crimson offering can be taught to others only by powerful clerics of Arrina whom are thought to be extinct in this current Era, alternatively many single use scrolls of this spell have been scattered across the world in dark dungeons or sealed away by various religious factions instead of incurring the divine retribution triggered when destroying them.

This spell is more so a prayer in which one offers their own flesh, blood and soul in return for terrible power that strains not only this physical form but the weave itself instantly alerting divine powers and if the user had a god they worshiped instantly becoming their enemy as the spell servers their connections and any contracts, this spell with rapidly crystallise the users body resulting in death leaving only a statue of a crimson red six winged angel taking vaguely after the goddesses appearance even if the caster was a male, the statue can shatter and if they died while in the air they will shatter upon impact.

Once this spell is cast your soul is tied to the Shattered Goddess upon death even if you manage to avoid death which only the Overgod has the power to alter, the only possible means of cheating this death however is to have a wish spell cast upon you by yourself or a third party prior to your death in which case you will still have the angel like appearance excluding the crimson crystallisation and wings but for such to even occur you must roll a 16 or above on 1D20 after casting the wish spell. As for your appearance white hair, crimson iris, pale skin, and glowing crimson lines on your skin above some of your veins while retaining your remaining lifespan prior to casting the Crimson Offering spell.

To use this spell you must know of the shattered goddess's name which isn't on the scroll form of the spell, you must be living and must also possess a soul, the only exception are Vampires that abhor the undead to the core of their being, those that don't will die if they attempt to use this spell or scroll, all powers from outside forces will be severed upon casting this spell thoroughly enraging your god if you are a cleric or paladin, if you survive the spell your former god will likely have you hunted down and killed.
