>>Red Bull gives you wings
The adverts weren't kidding...
Cost: 2 significant charges
Ritual: Slit the throats of seven falcons [though, reportedly, someone tried this with seven pigeons and the ritual still worked]. Daub a male buffalo with their blood, thus painting him red. Slit his throat, consume a plate of seven buffalo wings before he dies, then immediately drink an entire can of Red Bull without the can leaving your lips.
Effect: The caster grows a pair of feathered wings, large and strong enough to carry them into the air. As it happens, this requires a wingspan of at least 100 feet in all cases. Growing the wings is a rank-8 Unnatural and rank-2 Self check; merely seeing someone else who's used the ritual is a rank-6 Unnatural check. The ritual is safer to perform topless; if you're wearing a shirt, it'll almost certainly rip apart, and if you're wearing something like a kevlar vest it'll probably break your new wings before being broken. Once the wings are in place, the only way to get rid of them is to amputate, which will leave some interesting scars and a lot of questions for the doctor doing it; apparently they become a natural part of the caster, healing normally and suchlike, and having at least two major arteries each. Have fun hiding your wings/weirdly placed bloody stumps from the general public for the rest of your life.
