The ritual then completes itself. Masters incapable of speech can also perform the ritual so long they can mentally form the words as well, it's not about voice but the intent with the gesture.<br/><br/>"But you can also arrange contingencies with the guild and do a contract with the chain holder, you can have three candidates, listed by priority, receive your slave in case of sudden and unexpected demise. It's a bit expensive but not much so and it asks both owner and future owners to be present in the arrangement and the chain holder does the pre-emptive binding ritual. The slave does not need to be present or even need consent for this."
