Range: touch
Duration: instantaneous
Saving throw: none
Spell resistance: no
Backlash: All casters take 1 permanent negative level.
Failure: All casters suffer a curse or spell effect determined by the specific witchgate (if not specified, use finger of death , using the ritual’s spell DC and caster level). Secondary casters can attempt a saving throw (primary casters automatically fail their saving throws).
The primary caster burns the incense in a perimeter around the witchgate to soothe the site, then peels back the dimensional fabric, finds the knotted ley lines, delicately unwinds them, steadies their energies, and closes the rift. If the ritual is successful, the ley lines return to normal, forcing the witchgate that tangled them to collapse. All casters automatically become attuned to the unraveled ley lines, gaining a +5 bonus on skill checks to cast occult rituals until they leave a 1-mile radius of the destroyed witchgate.
