Raiding
Raiding is one of the three ways the Nunnehi tend to use for harvesting Medicine.
Overview
Sometimes, a Nunnehi may attempt to rip Medicine from a natural source. This process, known as Raiding, is the Nunnehi version of Ravaging. Although doing so reduces the amount of time that must be dedicated to the process, a Nunnehi using this method also runs the risk of increasing their Banality.
System
The Nunnehi must be somewhat familiar with the source from which they intend to wrest Medicine. They roll their Banality rating (difficulty 6). The number of successes equals the number of points of Medicine gained. A botch gives the Nunnehi a permanent point of Banality. This penalty comes from angering the spirits whose Medicine has been stolen. Furthermore, Medicine acquired through Raiding is considered dark and dangerous. While it provides an extra success when used to power destructive Songs of Power (such as curses), for positive uses like healing, the Medicine provides one less success than it would have normally given.
The Menehune
The Menehune also use this practice, with a few variations. See the article Menehune for more.
