Construct Pillar of Power ritual 429

newritual    "Construct Pillar of Power"
descr        "A Herald, or the Scourge Lord himself, constructs a huge stone pillar and inscribes it with runes of power, creating a Pillar of Power that drains life force from the surrounding lands. The life force is channeled to the Scourge Lord who will use it to empower his agents or summon beings of manifest destruction. Forests and settlements give more life force than plains. Mountains and hills give very little life force and deserts are devoid of life force. With time the surrounding terrains will wither and eventually turn into deserts. Oceans have less life force available, but cannot wither away. A settlement that is under the influence of an active Pillar of Power will produce ghouls that gather at the pillar, awaiting their master's call. The Pillar can drain up to 15 points of life force from the surrounding lands. If there is more life force available the excess will not be drained until some lands have withered away."
