Ritual of Summoning  and Binding Greater Undead (R-1) This ritual works in the same manner and under the same conditions as the Ritual of Summoning and Binding Lesser Undead (Q-1) except that the Base Chance is always half (round down) the Adept's Magical Aptitude and the Experience Multiple is 350. The ritual summons Greater Undead and must be performed in or near an area frequented by them (barrows, churchyards, or abandoned dwellings, underground dungeons and the like). 2. Ritual of Life Prolonging (R-2) The Adept may prolong his life, remaining unchanged and unaged for the duration of the effects of this ritual. Once the effects of the ritual wear off,  the Adept will begin to age at the rate of 1 year per minute until he reaches the proper biological age to match his chronological age. The Adept must remain stationary and may take no other action while performing the ritual. At the end of the ritual, the Adept's Player rolls D100. If the result is less than or equal to the Base Chance (5% + 5 per Rank), the ritual is effective. If the ritual backfires, the Adept will increase his age instead of decrease it or keep it unchanged. Normally, the ritual's effects last for 1 years ( + 2 additional years per Rank), but at Rank 10 and above, the Adept can immediately upon the ritual being completed reduce his biological age by up to 2 years ( + 2 years per Rank) instead of (not in addition to) halting aging. Any backfire reverses the anticipated effect (accelerating aging). The Experience Multiple for this ritual is 350. The ritual takes 8 hours. 3. Ritual of Becoming Undead (R-3) The Adept may become an undead by employing this ritual. Once he joins the ranks of the undead, he may not reverse the effect. The Adept must draw a Circle of Protection and a Pentacle (see College of Greater Summoning, 47) and remain within it throughout the ritual. The ritual takes 2 hours to perform. During the course of the ritual, the Adept must murder an entity of his own race who occupies the Pentacle with him. The entity may be bound, but must be conscious during the murder. Upon the performance of the murder, a Wight appears over the corpse at Rank 0-10, or a Wraith at Rank 11-20. This undead becomes chained to the place in which the murder was committed until freed by someone other than the adept entering or leaving the Circle of Protection. Upon being released, the undead will hunt the Adept and attempt to terminate his existence in revenge. Once the murder is performed, the Adept's Player checks to determine if it was a success. The Base Chance that it will be a success is 10% (+ 3 per Rank). If it is a success, the Adept joins the ranks of the undead as the Greater Undead type of his choice. He may leave the Circle of Protection without releasing the undead imprisoned therein. If the result is not a success and the Adept fails to become undead, the undead imprisoned therein will be released if the Adept attempts to leave the Circle of Protection. If the ritual backfires, the undead will immediately be released and will attack the Adept inside the Circle of Protection (which will be broken and will not keep the undead imprisoned). The Experience Multiple of this ritual is 550.
