Termina Ritual Circles

## How to use

You will need the Skin Bible of each respective God in your inventory and 1 chalk to draw on a ritual circle. If you draw the wrong symbol, you cannot erase it and try again, and if the symbol you draw does not match the type of circle (ex. sigil of Rher drawn on a Perfection Circle) it will produce no effect, rendering that circle unusable.

When done by the player, successfully drawing a god's sigil will raise affinity to that god and allow access to skills in The Hexen. Different skills may require different levels of affinity or affinity with two separate gods, which may be raised by drawing the corresponding sigil on a blank circle or making an offering to a filled circle matching the deity- a sacrifice for Gro-goroth, and using *Masturbation* for Sylvian.

You cannot gain affinity from premade Rher circles.

	+ A body charmed with *Necromancy* can be used as a safe sacrifice method
* *Blood Sacrifice* option from Samarie's skillset for affinity
	+ This reduces your HP to 1 and will need at least 50 HP to do it again for more affinity safely
