This spell has powerful effects for the White Order Mages, for it allows them to pass much of their corruption to another creature. The target must be captured and subjected to a lengthy 6 hour ritual, at the end of which he or she makes an opposed Spirit test. If the roll fails then 3/4 of the Mage’s temporary Corruption is passed to the target. The rest of the Mage’s Corruption then becomes permanent, nothing can ever get rid of it.
Should the Corruption be less than the Phys of the target there are no immediate effects, but the target will quickly die of an incurable illness. If is exceeds the Phys, however, then the target becomes a Ghebbeth under the Mage’s command. This creature is short lived, but powerful, and is usually sent far from the Mage to conceal his location. It gains the following modifications to its characteristics:
A:+3, Phys:+2, Agility:+2, Health:+5, Spirit:-2, Ar:+4
The Ghebbeth loses the power of thought and speech, and cannot be affected by mind control or reading, illusions or mental effects, nor can it use any magic it may have had. It will obey the orders of the Mage as best it can, though it may sometimes rebel in minor ways when faced with things or people it once loved.
