Effect	As part of a ritual, the caster is able to imbue their prepared space with malicious intent. Those viewed as enemies by the shaman and their spirit must make a Resistance Roll vs casting stat + Shamanism skill + Water Spirit Rank upon entering the ritual space. If successful, the caster is safe until their next breath (round) in the ritual space, which would trigger another Resistance roll. If the target fails their resistance roll, Watery Grave comes into full effect, and for the next Rank rounds they take in water instead of air, immediately beginning to drown. While drowning, they are unable to speak or concentrate for the purpose of casting spells and lose 1 lethal health per round. At the end of the spell, a successful Medicine roll will purge the water from their lungs and stabilize them; otherwise, they will continue to drown.
