Lamia Ritual A

Make a pentagram. The top point is the blue candle, then the black and white candles at the outer two points, then the bottom two are the teal candles. Light them all, then light any incense you may have. Place the snake totem in the center and say:

"Goddess of serpents and moon on the rise,
Watch me over with your all-seeing eyes
As the circle is blazed alight
Scale my legs with holy light.
As the blue ocean rolls
Pierce me through and make me whole
Breathe in the aqueous air
Serpent's magick and slitted glare
Swiftest speed of sun and moon
Stars together, falling soon
At my will and moonbent glee
Lamia I shall forever be."

Now pick up the snake totem and imagine your legs fusing together and being covered in the scales of a snake in the colours you wish. Also choose the colour of your eyes in your lamia form. Focus hard on the feeling of your legs fusing and melding into a tail, how it would feel. Force that sensation. When you,re done focusing, blow out or snuff all the candles.

Side effects:

• Sensations of legs fusing into a tail
• Legs sticking together
• Desire to exercise and be in nature
• Phantom tail
• Pains and rashes on legs
• Cat eyes
• Eyes changing colour
• Running faster
• More agile
• More fluid movements
• Better swimming ability
• Water affinity
• Desire to meditate more, deeper meditations
• Connection to snake energy
• Deep 'need' for your tail and to use it
• Holding breath longer

Effects: As a lamia, you will be able to manifest the tail you imagined at will. With it will come eyes like a cat in the colour you wanted. When your tail isn't out, your eyes will be normal. You will have several superhuman abilities: strength, speed, agility, flexibility, flowmotion, underwater breathing, pain resistance, intelligence, and senses. Breathing underwater will feel like breathing incredibly fresh air, and your eyes and ears will never be filled with water, as if there is an invisible field around them. You can hear things underwater as well as you can on land. It will be far easier to learn forms of water manipulation, and to a lesser extent easier to learn shapeshifting, pyrokinesis, cryokinesis, or telekinesis. You will also have a hypnotic voice and be a great dancer and manipulator.

Lamias can synergize with: Avian (wings probably can't lift you while your tail is out but you can try), Shapeshifter (all form shapeshifters can even use incompatible-with-lamia forms due to their form mastery, but they will be harder to use), Fae (it will be a bit hard but not impossible), Vampire (i don't see why that wouldn't work), and kemono/other mostly humanoid forms (although tails might not work).

Lamias CANNOT synergize with: Mermaids (tails conflict), Sirens, Scylla (same reasons as mermaid), anything super small (too much mass in the tail to convert to something tiny like a cat), certain shifters (some shifters have sharply determined paths that they can't stray from).

Anything else you'll probably have to try for yourself. I may be wrong about some of these, so you can try them yourself.
