Reduce

Reduce is a mastery level 1 maho spell which is used to remove Shadowlands Taint. It is most commonly used on important idividuals who are tainted to ensure they do not lose their mind to the taint of Jigoku. The caster of the spell must concentrate for an hour in the presence of the target, to identify the corrupt elements in the target's body. The caster must then offer a sacrifice of a sentient living being. The spell does not remove the taint completely however, but merely lowers the amount of taint in the target.
