As with the 4th Circle Life Bond, but this spell binds a magic to the entire population of a place. This spell only affects area and protective Magics, such as Sun's Blessing or Sun's Shield. The spell is a ritual requiring 5 weeks to cast and a number of sacrificed Crdlu equal to the Difficulty + Circle + Burdens of the target spell. Once the Spell is cast the Mass Life Bond follows and forever maintains that spell so long as the people it was bonded to, or their descendants, remain in the protected place. Should the place be destroyed or the people leave the Life Bond ends. The Life Bond accepts a certain turnover of population. Up to 1/4 of the population may leave per year, as long as overall population remains at the minimum level required for the maintained spell. Mass Life Bonds are used in the founding of new towns and villages, providing protection and ensuring that the population remains where the Order desires.
The spell requires a population of at least 10 people per Energy Level + Circle + Power Level of the target spell. For example Sun’s Blessing requires at least 60 people to maintain.
