Secondary Casters (continued) 2–4

---

You attempt to synchronize one of the vaultlines with either Life or Death. The skills used by the primary caster, as well as a unique symbolic action that must be performed to calm the line, vary according to which line is being synchronized and whether it's being synchronized with Life or Death.

If the primary caster fails but doesn't critically fail their skill check, all casters suffer the vaultline's backlash effect, but the line is successfully synchronized. On a critical failure, the backlash effect occurs, and the ritual must be attempted again. On a critical success, the line is synchronized, and the DC of any check the primary caster makes to perform the synchronize ley line ritual in the next 24 hours is reduced by 1.
