Beast's Curse

Sphere Fate; Ritual Level 3
Casting Time 30 minutes
Scroll Casting Time 1 minute
Components V, S , M (blessed tokens worth 25 gp)
Duration Permanent
Beast’s curse makes its target the victim of constant harassment by animals. Whenever an animal passes within either 30 feet of the victim or scent range, that animal’s attitude immediately shifts to hostile.

Animals are liable to attack or harass the character: birds fly around and peck at the character, cats trip him, and larger animals might do worse.

The curse bestowed by this spell cannot be dispelled, but it can be removed with a break enchantment, limited wish, miracle, remove curse, or wish spell.

Change Fate

Sphere Fate; Ritual Level 3

Scroll Casting Time 1 round
Components V, S , M (gold coins worth 25 gp)
Duration Up to 24 hours
You a limited control over fate to choose between alternatives of existence, correcting the choices of fate you disagree with.

Within the ritual's duration you may as an immediate action change any one event, occurring within line of sight, and affected by a die roll. The result of the die roll is rolled again, and you pick which result of the two actually happens. Once that is done the ritual ends.

Change fate can affect attack rolls, critical hits, critical failures, initiative checks, saving throws, damage dice (even multiple damage dice, such as 5d6 from a fireball), healing dice (from cure spells, for example), skill checks, ability checks, and caster level checks. It cannot affect your roll for hit points when you gain a level. If it affects an event associated with a roll of multiple dice, you must choose either set of dice rolls; you cannot choose to replace individual die rolls.

You can wait to choose whether to affect a die roll until after it is actually rolled, but must state your intention to alter a die roll before any other actions or rolls occur. You cannot alter the past; you can only shape the present as it slips by.

If whoever caused the action has spell resistance you must overcome that resistance.

The ritual may be cast with different components which may be used in part or combined for added effect; Verbal, Somatic and/or Focus.

Upon the completion of the ritual, all creatures within long range of the caster learn whether the target is a god. This is not to mean whether or not the object or creature is worshiped as a god, whether the target deserves to be worshiped, or if the target is as powerful as (or greater than) a god, but rather whether such a target has in fact ascended to godhood or has inherent divinity.
