Scarlet Word
Cost: 20m Target: One Sorcerer
Allegedly an invention of the Scarlet Empress herself, this spell is widely known by the Wyld Hunt and is a potent tool against Sorcerer's. The basic idea behind this charm is as a trap for other Sorcerers. If allowed to be cast, the spell has one effect and is quite dangerous in and of itself. If the spell is interrupted by Emerald Countermagic, however, the effects are if anything worse. Sapphire Countermagic shatters the spell harmlessly, as a Wyld Hunt discovered to their chagrin when they attempted to use this spell on the Demon Sorceress of Amanton. Lesser Sorcerers must either suffer through the effects of the spell, counter the spell after its been cast or simply refrain from using Sorcery during the Combat.
