Rite of War

Very infrequently used, and reserved for dire situations, this Rite requires the sacrifice of a Hunter's life. The Rite of War transforms the ritualist into a tool of the Earth-Mother: an Earth-Beast. The rite ends at the will of the Earth-Mother, at which point the ritualist returns to their normal form, unharmed. However, the ritualist's mind has been destroyed and replaced by pure instinct and a desire to destroy. If left alone, the ritualist will continue performing the Rite of War until they die. The cause of the mental destruction is theorized to be because of the ritualist's proximity to the Earth-Mother's mind and will. It is rumored that Sagittarius knew how to rescue his mind from the Rite of War, but any details are unknown.
