Yeah that seems excessive, especially for a part where you're implored to improvise ;p

Is that the same duration as the debuff of the TF options?
These are generally removed when you call the mission in to complete it.
Mind of Gaia lvl 50 Defiant's first Mind/Storm 'troller.
Deadly Doc 50 Dark/Dark Corr
and lots more on Pinnacle,Union and Defiant
Nope, this isn't like that. You're stuck with it until it expires.

By the way, this doesn't look like it can stack. You're only allowed to have one of this thing at a time.

The game gives you clues that the breath has to be last in the ritual incantation, and the tokens have to be paid for passage when you are passing through, a token for each soul's passage. It's pretty explicit.|

That leaves two steps that it doesn't tell you almost directly when to do them, the amber and the improvisation. Paying attention to the clues, that's narrowing it considerably.
Spoilers.......
improvise: blood is the winner. Then it's just doing it in the right order.

Gotta agree - the duration is WHACK!
Thankfully I will only be running it once on my main toon.

Personally I had to laugh. I seriously love it. I mean don't get me wrong, the debuff sucks. But I was totally blown away and impressed with just the general old-school hard-core nature of the debuff. In these days and times of spoon-fed MMO's, that *claim* choices matter, but in the end, really don't make a single wit of difference, I found it refreshing to find something that said "PAY ATTENTION", and if you don't, there WILL be consequences!
So yeah I botched it the first time, even though I read the quest carefully. I wasn't sure about where the spider went after the blood. But the second time through I figured it out, and when I saw the debuff and the duration, I was like TCHYA!!
sides.. it's not like you don't have 140 other toons to go play during the duration...
DarkCandle - 50 scr
Lilah Morgann - 32 cor
NyteRaven - 22 scr
and other miscreants...

Brilliant....
And yes, it is a failsauce nerf if there ever has been.
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

Q. Just wondering Posi, where are the new dance emotes we were told would come with GR?
A. Positron: Whoops, my bad.

It's not luck! What kind of savage does a resurrection invocation without blood?!

Well, me for one.
But as someone in a channel said, "The only way it wouldn't cripple you is if your character was fully purpled and heavily IO'd"... which Megamisama is, so it didn't really hurt all that much. I had to chew blues in longer battles, but I was able to run through an ouro arc (Freakshow Wars) and five tip missions. Didn't completely have the option to switch characters since this is the one I'm working to get to 30 hero merits at the moment, waiting a day wasn't really an option... but I survived it okay.
But yeah, on some of my lower-level and not heavily IO'd toons, I already have to chew blues in combat... something like this would pretty much render them useless for 20 hours.

I also made the correct choice the first time around, but afterward when I told the contact what I did, I was told "there had to be another way." So next time through I picked a different option for the improvising part. In fact, I tried all the options.|

No, there is no other way. That was a lie.

(HERE BE SPOILERS)The rest of the arc pretty much deals with making sure that she doesn't get herself re-killed, because if she does, you die too. There can't possibly be another way, because if there were, it would invalidate the rest of the arc.(SPOILERS END)

I was playing through Arbiter Hawk's arc, and made a teensy mistake during the ritual to resurrect Red Widow. (I swear, my magical incantation would have worked if not for that ill timed sneeze!) Anywho, I got stuck with an annoying debuff, and, even several hours after completing the arc, it still hadn't worn off.
How long is this debuff supposed to last? The -20 max end does not play well with teleporting longer distances in a zone...
