The Witch's Ritual

*"It’s now on camera that the event caused the permanent deaths of roughly 135,000 Lyings (even more if we include people whose deaths were a direct or indirect result of the effort). For perspective, that’s more than both atomic bombings combined, it’s the scale of the Glastonbury festival in 2013.*

*The first thing we need to note is the fact that these deaths are permanent, which is largely unheard of for Redmakers because they naturally respawn. The Witch sapped the inherent lifeforce of these individuals from their home universes, meaning that they cannot respawn and are, even by the flimsy Minecraft standards of mortality, dead.*

*The second thing we need to realize is actually how small that number actually is. Consider that the Lyingverse possesses an infinite number of universes, each with a single potential target for The Witch, that’s not even remotely close to 1% of the population. 1% of infinity is infinity, so the actual count is closer to 0% of the population.*

*A question I got on the Quali-Tea Time that revealed this figure was whether this number directly corresponds to what was necessary to keep The Witch alive in the well for the uncertain period of time they were trapped. The answer to that is a resounding no, they probably could have gotten by with only a few hundred at most.*

*However, the ritual that The Witch enacted touched every single universe, and almost simultaneously as well. When dealing with infinities, the human brain goes a bit numb (it breaks a lot of our every-day common sense rules about numbers in general), and it’s entirely probable The Witch quickly lost conscious understanding of what was going on and just how many they’d killed or even contact.*

*Undoubtedly The Witch doesn’t have a clear memory of who they killed or how many, and indeed in the same episode they describe their memory as being fragmented at best shortly after conducting the ritual.*

*That’s not to say that all of the survivors don’t recognize them however..."1 -Lyinginbedmon*

### Overview

In a desperate bid to survive The Well, the Witch preformed a ritual that serves as a major source of conflict in the Lyingverse to this day. While this ritual was never given a name, it is most likely the most influential moment in Lyingverse history, and may never be topped. It is the main reason for the corruption that dogs the Witch's steps, and an act the rest of the Lyingverse will likely never forgive. It is one of the few methods known to completely kill a redmaker, something normally unheard of.

### Effects

The Witch's Ritual has several effects, The ritual latched onto an unknown number of Lying's in the multiverse, taking something from them either physically or mentally. The ritual can take body parts from Lying's or take parts of their personality or powers along with sometimes having the Witch themselves manifest within that dimension for a small period of time. As the ritual was done by the Witch in the effect of trying to not die, everything the ritual does rebounds onto the Witch, giving them whatever was stolen, which is why neither of their eyes are their original eyes. Any Lying that died from this became a part of Kyofushin, a spirit amalgamation.
