Editing Pyre (section)

== Damnation Rite ==

If the pet survives, it is cursed '''Ravenous''' and branded with the '''Damned Aura''', replacing whatever [[Aura]] it had. The Damned Aura is a bonus [[Menagerie]] entry for that species. Survival follows the same rules as the Cinder and Ashen rites. The rite can only be done once per pet.

A Ravenous pet:
* Never loses focus while [[Prospecting|prospecting]], never digs up coal, and brings back much richer gem bags.
* Uses BC from a '''furnace''' you keep stocked on the Pyre page. It burns 1 BC of fuel for every point of energy it spends, which works out to roughly 75 BC per item found. Fuel you deposit can never be withdrawn. If the furnace runs dry, the pet stalls as if it had run out of energy.
* Drains energy from your other pets. Every item it finds takes 5 energy from every other pet you own, down to a floor of zero.

The curse and the Damned Aura cannot be rerolled, changed or removed, not even by resetting your perks. The only way to end the drain is for that pet to die, either in the Damnation Rite itself or in a later rite. A Damned pet can still be offered to other rites, but the Cinder Rite refuses to touch its Aura.
