Failure

All casters gain a temporary negative level (DC = 16 + the primary caster's Charisma bonus to remove the negative level after the first day) and are also exhausted until this negative level is removed.

Description

The primary caster juggles the chaos emerald back and forth between his hands, under his clothing, and between any secondary casters involved in the ritual. As the ritual progresses, the primary caster's actions with the chaos emerald become increasingly improbable (putting it into his mouth and pulling it out of his ear, for example, or placing it into the cupped hands of one secondary caster and removing it from the cupped hands of a different secondary caster). If the ritual is successful, the chaos emerald disappears entirely, and the primary caster gains the ability to inflict warpwaves like a protean for the ritual's duration. The primary caster can inflict a warpwave on a creature within 100 feet as a standard action. The target can negate the effects of the warpwave with a successful Fortitude save (DC 10 + half the primary caster's character level + the primary caster's Charisma modifier). When the duration expires, the chaos emerald reappears in the primary caster's possession—usually in a hidden place, such as the bottom of a backpack or inside a hat.
