Consequences
For letting something run its course instead of carrying it on somebody else's behalf.
The lightest working in this catalog. It marks a limit and reaches no further than that, which is exactly why the form has survived: small, quick, and easy to repeat when it matters.
The daily line has no name and no target attached to it. It is set for the day, holds where it holds, and expires by morning. The pointed ones are aimed at a situation rather than a person — the run of easy going that has been happening at your expense.
The rest of this group works on situations. A roadblock closes a path a plan was going to use. A fog takes the clear line of sight out of something so it takes longer to see through. Nothing breaks; things simply stop being easy.
Everything here is symbolic and no outcome is claimed, at all, for anyone. These rituals touch a path, a streak or a line of sight, and never a person's body, health or safety.
If what you actually want is distance, the banishing rituals are the more honest tool.
