Essence of Void

This spell allows the ishiken to suffuse another living creature with the pure essence of the Void, overwhelming

the creature’s bodily functions and rendering that creature inert and unmoving so long as the spell remains in effect.

The caster must be able to see the target, and the spell requires a successful Contested Void Roll (creatures without a Void Ring may resist with Name, Akasha, or Willpower at the GM’s discretion). If the target fails the Contested Roll, it is held immobile, unable to move, speak, or otherwise act of its own volition so long as the caster maintains concentration. On the second and subsequent Rounds of the spell, the target may make another Contested Roll during the Reactions Stage to throw off the spell’s effects.
