Life, Supernatural
Zira believes that they have a ritual that will allow the magic from the cards to be released back to The Feathered Forest, restoring its life. Amaranth, Sarroy, Tozak, and several other members of the church all participate in the ritual, but something goes wrong, the cards seem to be draining the magical energy from those involved instead of releasing their energy. Sarroy was able to resist the cards long enough to stop the ritual by flooding the space with gallons of water, the shock of which hurled some participants backward. A few were killed by the ritual while others were merely incapacitated. Searching through the aftermath the cards are nowhere to be found, all that remains are 10 perfectly smooth obsidian stones.
