Fury Spells call upon the Furies, fiery spirits of destruction, illumination and passion. Fury spells tend to be like the spirits of the same name; cruel, vengeful and uncaring. They focus on inflicting damage and pain without regard for the consequences and the victim. Sometimes, they illuminate and enlighten, just as flame can brighten one’s vision with light or warm one’s soul with hope. But such spells are few and far in between.

Among the Witches of Midworld, it is known the Fury spells exist to inflict large amounts of damage and suffering, to both foe and friend. While some Witches would shy away from this destruction, there are those who consider the Furies to be a necessary evil – after all, rebirth cannot come unless destruction has passed. And then, there are those who consider the Furies to be the end all and be all of everything; they desire only to devastate and to consume, just as the Furies do. For these folk, the Furies are there to be emulated and eventually, surpassed in their burning glory.

FURY RITUALS:

If a spell’s description requires a Ritual, you may use the suggestions below.

Many Dark Witches offer a sacrifice to the Furies, by ritually tearing or destroying an item (or an effigy). This is usually done while singing a sacred chant about the virtues of elemental flame, asking for the aid of the Furies or intoning the names of the caster’s (and participants’) enemies over and over in fiery hatred.

Some Witches emphasize the illumination aspect of fire instead, bathing the caster and all the ritual participants in summoned, magical light while singing a sacred chant or intoning a verse about the qualities of elemental flame or asking for the fire spirits’ aid.

Most Fury Rituals involve a great amount of light in their performance, either summoned or ambient. This means that Witches may choose fire pits, a forge, inside Annie’s Inn, a personally prepared location or even out-doors during a sunny day as a venue for their spell-casting.

Special Note: For the purposes of safety, Seventh Kingdom does not let its players use a real fire to burn objects. Those who break these rules will be sanctioned and even expelled from the game. Especially heavy sanctions await those who break or destroy Seventh Kingdom props and phys-reps because of the hard work placed in the props’ creation and the enjoyment denied to other players in the game.
