Example
Psychic Defense
Adept lvl 6
[20:05] Niobe Flux [Angeline] sat in in the center of her ritual area. Cigarette holder in one hand, a handful of grave dirt in the other, a bottle of rum by her feet. She clamped down on the cigarette holder with her teeth as she puffed away on the cannabis and opium mixture. Angeline poured the grave dirt from one hand to another as she meditated on how to best draw up her psychic defense.
[20:07] Niobe Flux [Angeline] spent a goodly amount of time smoking herself into a state of intoxication. Swapping out hand rolled cigarettes for choking hits off the crystal water pipe, prepping herself for what she was about to attempt.
[20:13] Niobe Flux [Angeline] reached for the bottle of rum, taking a long swallow of the liquor as she leaned back closing her eyes. Once the colours of light faded into the velvet darkness behind her eyes she set herself to her task. With her mental landscape blank before her she blocked out all distraction and began to build. She imagined a dusty crossroads, the dry ground broken up by the occasional pebble or tuft of dry grass. She then pictured herself standing at the center of the crossroads, a representation of her psychic self. With a mental pull she manifested a complicated veve around her. The lines glowed a soft shade of purple that seemed to pulse in time with Angeline's heartbeat. It was more complicated than what she would normally use for a physical defense, as this was a veve she had worked on to represent herself, a sort of magick signature
[20:16] Niobe Flux [Angeline] stood at the center of the mental landscape. The crossroads extended off into darkness and faded into the swirling dreamscape where she could no longer hold up the edges of her mental reality.
It took effort to not stare off at the chaos, to lose all sense of herself in a dark sea of dreams. Angeline redoubled her mental efforts as she reached out with a pull, calling the Ghede to stand before her.
Four Ghede answered her call as they manifested along the crossroads. Angeline looked from one to the next. She gazed at the fourth Ghede. In an unusual motion of respect she touched the first two fingers of her right hand to her lips, kissing them before placing then upon her breast as she bowed her head, whispering," Maman"
[20:17] Niobe Flux [Angeline] Believing the Lwa surrounded her she thrust a fist into the air as she called upon them to add to her defense, making promises of sacrifice and offerings left in their names. Dark tendrils of light snaked from each as they coiled around adding another pattern, lacing it to her personal veve. She felt charged, energized, and confidant with the thought Ghede stood alongside her.
