how about getting what you ask for…

Gift of Eternal Life

Cost: 16 magic points; 1D6 Sanity points

This ritual is a foul magick that imbues the caster with eternal life at a cost. Few who complete this ritual enjoy the results but none can doubt the effect. Upon completion the caster is wracked with pain as they swell internally. As the swell, their skin splits and bones break. After the bloody mess is completed, the caster is changed into a intelligent ghoul using the normal statistics of a ghoul while keeping there power statistics and any skills they possess. This is the gift that does keep giving.

I had an idea when I was making yesterdays post…

Fel Learning

Cost: variable magic points
Casting time: 1 hour
By opening your inner eye, the caster, a willing participant, or unwilling bound victims can learn about the sights best unseen. The caster spends as many magic points as they wish. For every two magic points spent this way, the target of the spell gains 1 point in Cthulhu mythos. In addition to the normal sanity losses, the target loses three points of sanity for every point of Cthulhu mythos gained in this way. If the target is unwilling, the cast and the victim make opposed POW rolls to cause the spell to take effect.
Alternative names: Yog-Sothoth’s blessing. akashic record recovery, learn without eyes

These points are restored normally. The liquid lasts for a week per point of magic extracted. If the magic power is extracted from yourself, no additional sanity is lost. But, if the magic points are extracted are extracted the victim loses two points of sanity for each point of magic extracted.
