Target will remain unconscious for 1d10x10 hours or until a Greater Restoration Spell or more powerful magic is used. If the target is awoken by some means and the blade was submerged at least 4 hours, Shiva has selected her new champion. If Shiva deems the champion unfit during their slumber together, they have to make a constitution save of DC 15. Upon failure they die immediately.
