@poetDobromil's Hymn of Specific Hiding
This Hymn will completely mask your scent to that of a desired habitat, as well as cause your body to almost completely blend into a specific habitat chosen during the ritual phases, so long as the breath is being held or exhaled. The spell should break as soon as you leave the habitat chosen, and does not carry over to other areas. For more general hiding Hymns or hiding Hymns not reliant on a habitat to work, try Dobromil's Hymn of General Hiding, which while is not as effective (only dampens smell, doesn't replace, requires slightly less focus to spot a hider), can be used just about anywhere with acceptable results.
What you need:
- A stick of chalk and charcoal mixture
- A stick of chalk and lapus lazuli mixture
- Polished stones of spherical white quartz, marble or clear quartz can substitute at risk
- Salt
- Granulate Cinnabar (handle at own risk)
- Naturally occurring items taken from the environment you wish to hide in
- For a general hiding spell, replace the above ingredient with fresh coals from a fire
The ProcessEither rake your coals into a circle, or your natural items. Place the natural items in the hair in a hexagon patter if applicable. Place the polished stones so that they form a triangle inside the circle. Place a pile of salt and cinnabar in the center of the Triangle, then wash your forearms with remaining salt. Squat in such a way that your exposed knees and the tip of your nose would form the corners of a triangle if you were to draw a line to each. Mark both knees with a circle using the Chalk of Lapus, and then dot the nose to finish the triangle. Pinch the center pile of salt and cinnabar, and sprinkle some of its grains onto the stones and then in the circle on each knee. Using the chalk of charcoal, draw the sacred shapes on the apex of each bicep and connect every muscle tone using the old languages and shapes. Bring the chalk to the face and connect the bottom of the eye to the jawline, then the blue dot of the nose to the hairline. Finally invoke a prayer, and stare intently at the center of the ritual circle, humming the vibrancy of hiding.
Note: I edited my post so that Dobromil was taking the ingredients out of an old ingredient bag, and mentioned a personal grimoire of his, this would likely be in it, or at least will be once he can write down that it was a success.
