It's carved within the floor, so no need. You start to construct it. By morning, it is completely ready. You begin the ritual to gather more power. You sit yourself in the center of the ankh, and your recruits stand around you in the exact right places. Red energy begins to fill the room like a rising tide. The smell of ozone fills the air, as a sudden explosion of light rises you into the air. They stare in wonder and fear. You are filled with the power of your dark lord... You feel your soul grow with power, until it fills the whole room... You fall to the ground.
You now have the power to teleport your victim into the Pure Dark, where the Dark One dwells... This costs 7 energy. Your recruits stare at you. Some of them are smiling, others are crying. Of those 19, 17 have become Touched. This means that they will never betray you. Of those 17, 12 are now Consumed. These 12 have become hollowed out spiritually and replaced with darkness. They will start to mutate, and will prefer the dark. You ask them to tell their higher class friends about your religion. Over the week, one comes back with a middle-class friend.
"Why didn't the rest of you bring a friend?" You ask.
"Sorry, master..." A Consumed whispers to you. "All of our friends were afraid of the Dark One's power... They told us we were insane..."
"... Good enough. You, there. How much are you willing to donate?"
"Uh..." The man scratches his bald spot. "I guess... 200 dollars? I really like your religion, it really appeals to me."
Good enough. You'll get more out of him. Weapons... You'll have to search around for weapons, but they wouldn't be cheap to buy in bulk. May be a bit suspicious, however.
