This ritual attempts to disperse ley-line energy when it has grown clogged. The caster attempts to disperse the energy out, with one check every ten minutes. Each success disperses part of the energy safely, reducing the size of the knot. A failure results in some of the energy exploding outward, devastating a location some distance from the knot. In the event 5 or more failures, the energy goes out of control and explodes. This explosion deals 12d6 to everyone within a 200 ft radius and sends massive detonations down the ley-line. Such a result is hardly better than if the ley-line was left to overload.
Extra Casters
Up to five, each one aiding and supporting the main caster. Each one may make an aid another check with one of the two knowledges each time the primary caster makes a check, aiding their result on success.
Special
Creatures of elemental or fey bloodlines, pacts or other influence gain a +2 to any checks in this ritual.
