[x] The curse, you have a feeling your essence would make a hell of a knot of any enemy's fate -[X]Call Lydia since she's running late, and get an ETA on her arrival
-[X]Occult Excellency -[X]STUNT: Pursing your lips, you cross the room to take a second look into the corridor outside, then come back into the room, stomping on the floor repeatedly. "Wooden floorboards, here and in the corridor. Wooden doorframe. Wooden doors too." you say to yourself. Ash makes an unladylike grunt of realization, but Pauline and Abby both look visibly confused. "Enough power to give people full body burns through their clothes" you continue, addressing the group "is going to be enough power to set that entire corridor on fire, and trap the intruder AND occupant in a burning building." At their dawning looks of comprehension, you continue. "There's other civilians living here. Children too. Collateral damage." You see Beckitt flinch at the term, and file away that datum for later. "My opinion" you stress the word "is we go with the curse option. More precise. Also less likely to bring the police looking for who set off the bomb."
[x] The curse, you have a feeling your essence would make a hell of a knot of any enemy's fate -[X] Occult and Leadership (if appropriate) excellencies -[X] Upend a bottle of water onto your head to trigger Boiling Sea Mastery -[X] Use tool transcending constructs (ideally limited to handheld ones) to prepare the physical anchors for the wards. -[X] Call Lydia and check when she's going to arrive. Ask others to wait for her, she could probably aid at least somewhat. Use the spare time to prepare the ritual site. -[X] Make it clear that, if possible, you'll be helping with both rituals, you are just starting with the curse one. -[X] STUNT: "... Ok, we'll wait for you to arrive before starting. Thanks, bye!" you close your phone, having finished talking to Lydia. In your hands, still wet from the bottle of water you upended on your head, brushes and other painting tools manifest, as, guided by your power, you draw symbols on the floor to make a ritual circle, all the while taking into account the input from Hellen and others, so it works best with how they do magic.

-[x]Stunt: Drawing on your knowledge of Kakuri the Night Realm you notice a few improvements to the bad luck charm. Not just giving bad luck, but luck with malice that makes everything feel hopeless and spiteful. Where all the world seems turned against you because it is. Every paper cuts, every tile edge stubs a toe, every drop of water causes a slip and the night does not hide them only blinds them. -[X] If possible anoint yourself in oil in a ritual fashion to trigger Boiling Sea Mastery
