With a basic check a target can induct any creature into the service of the well spreading the oil to their body, they gain the benefits of blessings of the well permanently. Targets can only ever be affected by this spell once and they gain one point of permanent Jhor(losing a bluebook action) which cannot be lost, the mage sometimes awakens in strange places in the middle of the night in service to the oil after this spell is cast, and members have been recorded killing poachers, defending coral and cleaning oceans when they sleep. Non mages can be affected by this spell but they also lose a permanent bluebook, and must spend 6 xp to recieve the blessing.
