RUAN'S SUPPRESSING TALISMANS TN 8 (NEW RITUAL)
This ritual is intended to contain a powerful force or creature. It can be used to temporarily suppress the powers of a supernatural being, a magical artifact or even the potent energies of natural landscapes. First, one must make paper talismans and post them on all entrances to the area (doors, halls, trails, passages, etc). Second, one must inscribe the proper symbols on a circular sheet of paper, leaving a blank area in its center. The circular paper is placed on the ground and a Ritual Roll TN 7 is made. On a Success an invisible field of energy forms around the blank center of the paper, creating a suppressive sphere 20 feet in diameter. Anything within the sphere cannot leave (a creature, energy, etc). This effect lasts 10 minutes. 

CLASSICS: CLASSICS OF MOUNTAINS AND RIVERS (NEW SKILL)
This book describes the people and places beyond the civilized areas of Qi Xien, as well as ancient creation myths. It is quite old so much of its information is out of date. Anyone with this skill knows a wide variety of legends, creatures, peoples and other details of the regions of the world north, east, south and west of the Zhan Dao Empire. However the information is occasionally misleading, exaggerated or no longer relevant.
