This ritual, unknown except by those who have
been taught it by the Father of War, permits the Father
to manifest on earth. The ritual much be carried out
under a night sky when the new moon is at its darkest.
Human sacrifices of at least 10 WP must be skinned
alive using blades of obsidian. After each sacrifice, the
operator shatters that blade. The blood of the sacrifices
is spilled on chips of obsidian that were formed
while making the blades. The Father of War manifests
through the bloodied shards. If the Father arrives and
is not immediately presented with another 10 WP in
sacrifices to claim for itself, it claims the life of the operator.
With each new sacrifice, a new obsidian blade
is created and chips from that creation are added to
the Father until it grows to the form presented here.

When first called, the reduced Father has all the
same stats, except it only does 1D4 damage per turn
due to the small amount of chips available. The damage
grows with the Father.

The Father of War must answer the call. It can
simultaneously inhabit any amount of obsidian
chips separated by any distance. Sets of chips can be
brought together to join larger swarms, or divided to
create multiple swarms that share the Father’s consciousness.
This growth has no known endpoint
