Rite of the Offering
Type: Universal / Diplomacy Duration: 5 Minutes Components: Paper money (Spirit Money), Food (Rice/Sake), or Incense.
Description
A standard protocol for interacting with the spirits of Kakuriyo or the Gokusotsu of Jigoku. Spirits crave the essence of physical objects, which they cannot obtain themselves.
Visual Manifestation
- The user burns the paper money or incense.
- The smoke does not dissipate; it coils and solidifies into the "Spirit Form" of the offering (e.g., golden coins, spectral rice).
- The spirit consumes the smoke/essence, visibly growing brighter or calmer.
Mechanics
- Effect: Grants a temporary bonus to social interactions with spirits. Can buy information, safe passage, or minor favors.
- Risk: Offering too little can insult a powerful spirit. Offering too much can attract "Beggars" (Hungry Ghosts) who will swarm the user.
