You anoint the Final Blade with powdered mithral and grave dirt while speaking softly and carefully to the souls trapped within it. You create a mystical pathway for the souls to escape through and urge them to draw out the magic of the final blade with them as they depart.

Critical Success As success, and the souls also grant a boon; the primary and secondary casters gain a +2 status bonus to saves against death and fear effects for the next year.

Spell Effect: Blunt the Final Blade (Critical Success)

Success The souls escape the final blade and peacefully pass on to their eternal rewards, as appropriate for each soul. The final blade is no longer magical; it can't store anymore souls and can be destroyed as a normal guillotine.

Failure The ritual has no effect.

Critical Failure The ritual goes horribly wrong. The souls within the final blade are released in a furious rush as a gray death that does its best to slay the ritual's casters and run amok among the living. The final blade retains it abilities and can continue to store souls.
