===== Send Horror =====

??Send Horror?? is a [[ritual]] that requires [[Blood]] 9 to cast, requiring {{path>B4S5}} and consuming {{gems>20B}} when cast. This spell has a 40% chance of causing its caster to gain a [[horror mark]]. It is somewhat related to the weaker spell [[Send Lesser Horror]], but differs primarily in the strength of the horrors produced.

This spell cannot under any circumstances summon lesser [[horrors]]: it will almost always generate a single greater horror, with a very slim chance of instead sending a doom horror. This chance depends very heavily on various factors: counterintuitively, the drain [[scales]] in the target province increase this chance, as well as whether [[Astral Corruption]] or the [[cataclysm]] are active. Note that having astral corruption active during the cataclysm has very little, if any apparent effect on this spell(([[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bCsSfFzJD176LxUyvAWsjyZHrtB-zlMLUMfueaZRHGo/edit#gid=1516034731|Data of over 200000 total casts in different conditions]])).

Despite being a more potent spell than its lesser equivalent, the chance of summoning a doom horror remains slim: without either Astral Corruption or the Cataclysm, it reaches ~0.3% when cast into drain 3. Casting Astral Corruption allows this to instead reach around 1%, and the Cataclysm pushes it up to around 2%.
