The Elevation Ritual
Everyone’s goal is to rise up in the Trantorian hierarchy.
This ritual, which enhances physical and mental capacities must be done according to a particular rite: they must gather the following on the same unit of terrain:
- At least a certain number of each stones
- At least a certain number of players with the same level
The elevation begins as soon as a player initiates the incantation.
It is not necessary for the players to be on the same team; they only need to be of the same level.
Every player in a group doing an incantation attain the higher level.
Passed down from generation to generation, the elevation secret comes down to this:
| Elevation | Nb Players | Linemate | Deraumere | Sibur | Mendiane | Phiras | Thystame |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1->2 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 2->3 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 3->4 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 0 |
| 4->5 | 4 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
| 5->6 | 4 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 3 | 0 | 0 |
| 6->7 | 6 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
| 7->8 | 6 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 1 |
The verification of the prerequisites for the incantation is done at the beginning and at the end of the action.
If the conditions are not met at one of the verifications, the elevation fails.
Each player participating is an elevation is frozen during the ritual. They can’t do any other action in the meantime.
Once the ritual succeeds, the stones are removed from the terrain.
