Working on an occult ritual to awaken a Thunder Behemoth and was looking for some advice. Anyone got any ideas for some interesting spell components, backlashes, or catastrophic fail states for this that feel thematic to awakening what is in essence an engine of a gods divine displeasure?
Realize that the ritual doesn't really convey much if any real control over the beast if it succeeds and I'm not really looking for anything but a success to awaken it. All that said I'm interested to see what people come up with.
