Over the course of an hour, you anchor a rift to deep ocean and let it bleed. A flood of seawater equivalent to a sustained tsunami pours through, drowning lowlands within the targeted region under tens of feet of water. Coastal cities are inundated; rivers reverse; entire low valleys become permanent inland seas. The new shoreline does not recede. Inhabitants who do not evacuate before the ritual completes are presumed lost. This channel is plot-grade and rewrites the geography and economics of a region.
