Hominum Ritual

Summary
The Hominum Ritual is a distortion ritual which can be accomplished by even normal humans, causing a local distortion when done correctly.

Ritual
The Ritual must be accomplished between the times of 3 AM and 7 AM, and must be done below sea level. One pound of candle wax, one pound of salt, one liter of chickens blood and one liter of any alcohol above 35% concentration. They are to be mixed together inside of a washing machine into a liquid. That liquid is then to be collected, put in a dish and the dish placed in a dryer. The remaining material is to be burnt to ash and collected.

Another concoction must also be prepared in order to complete the ritual. One hundred pounds of straw must be gathered in a pile along with at least twenty pounds of any animal carcass. The smoke should be contained and the ashes collected, and mixed into a bath of water to be diluted. The remaining residue should then be collected.

The two remaining residues should be mixed together and wrapped in cloth, and burned over a candle. The candle will go out immediately upon completion, and a spark will erupt from it, signifying the tiny distortion created.

Uses
By creating a small distortion, magic is brought around the distortion to fix it, which can be harnessed by mages and they can consume the magic to increase their own. This ritual is a common way for normal humans to supply their mage allies with more magic, or as a way for mages in the field to replenish energy without creating a massive, noticeable distortion that would alert locals or their rival mages. It is often using by the Human Merlin as a way to harness the magical residue in his body to aid his his other two selves.
