Sow

Ritual based in gestures

There are eight gestures that are commonly used to represent links between living beings. Any of those can be used in this ritual, to connect a living being (considered as the ritual's target) with and object or with the magic itself; followed by a gesture that represents the new life to be formed.
Some wizards can do this ritual without using the second sign immediately. And, even if both are done soon and fast, it can take long after before the first results, specially if the targets shows any kind of resistance.

Source: Magical Energy from the caster and physical energy from the target, and from the magic itself.
