"Oh, fine, I'll stop. Stop waiting to finish the ritual, that is." You realize after this comes out of your mouth that it was a horrific pun and that you should be ashamed of yourself for even making it.
You begin the ritual, using the book as a reference as you draw the sigla and runes on the ground. You think you did about an Average job with this. Once the Basic Binding Circle is done, you do some touchup on the Warding Circle since the Wraith had been rather successful at damaging it. Your touchup upgrades it it from Unsteady to Weak. You think this should be enough, you reread the words and sigla you're supposed to trace for a minute before starting, best double check.
You begin the ritual. You walk in circles around the screaming Wraith, chanting arcane words and tracing symbols with the torch, both on the ground and in the air. You feel something drain from you and as as the ritual progresses, the torchfire slowly begins burning purple. The sigla you burn into the air float suspended as you draw. The runes on the ground are alight with purple fire. As the words roll out of your mouth, the room grows darker, the only things visible are the fires. Soon these fade as well.. Unfazed and almost entranced in the chanting and slashing, you continue on in darkness.. cold skeletal hands guiding you for several more minutes before suddenly, they release you. You stop and reality explodes back into existence. You look around...
The Wraith is standing, still locked in the ward, it however no longer attempts to break free anymore. You can feel a mental thread connecting it to you. There are runes burned on almost every flat surface of the room and you're feeling rather drained.
