The Placement Test is a Ritual Incarnate based out of Kennet and the surrounding area. It is now Bound to Brie, its power diminshed. <ref name=":0">Second email, very in depth.  Zed was focused heavily on the big threat.  A ritual incarnate had arisen about halfway between Thunder Bay and Winnipeg.  Dryden was a town about the size Kennet had been, and a force around Dryden was turning people into places and objects into people.  Each of the five thousand residents were unspooled into hallways, roads, and other things, and the various things they wore and had with them became people.

Practitioners, Zed wrote, were able to hold onto themselves, just a bit, but they unspooled easily if hurt or- Avery guessed it was coup.  Any insult, any setback, it’d be a knock against their ability to keep from unspooling and becoming more place.  Too much of a knock against their Selves and they’d become an ongoing fixture.

But implements retained the connection, at least, with memories and limited abilities of the practitioner, Others were mostly unaffected, and a full outfit of complementary pieces of clothing would become a team of people who associated with each other but didn’t remember a life before the Ritual Incarnate.  Before what Zed was calling a Labyrinth.

Oh, and the same dangerous Others that were out here were in there.  Mostly occupying themselves killing the Lord and his family members that had been camped out there, at the far west of Musser’s territory.

Leaving Zed to theorize about how it might be tackled.  Summoned Others to give guidance, a very specific sort of outfit, for a goal-oriented, cohesive team- Zed theorized hyper-urban tactical clothing for a tactical squad.  Any practitioners with implements would be ideal.  All to get to what Zed was thinking was a core of power that was still vulnerable. - Excerpt from Wild Abandon 18.2</ref>

Nature

Targeted at humans, Others are unaffected. innocent humans don't notice and practitioners are left vulnerable. In a mix of such practices as alchezar hatching rituals and more

The Ritual

Happens as soon as you cross the border. The Ritual itself is a capture-the-flag fight.<ref> - Excerpt from Wild Abandon 18.z</ref>

Manifestations

Person→Place

<ref name=":8">“People, places, things,” Antlers said.  “Those are the mechanics.  People become places, things become people, and…”

“Places become things?” Wicked Hat asked, pointing at the doll.  A popular brand, with messy hair, scuffs on the feet and legs, and a bright blue dress. - Excerpt from Wild Abandon 18.z</ref>

Thing→Person

A Living Ritual that transforms along the Person→Place→Thing line, meant to be a multiday slog with a final game of capture the flag at the end. One is meant to avoid the various Others that have taken up residence in it.
