===Breaking Taboos===
===Taboo Restriction===
Each time you learn a Spell Secret, you also gain an additional [[Z%27s_Ancestral_Magic_(5e_Sourcebook)/Mechanics#Taboos | Taboo]]. Replacing your knowledge of the Spell Secret does not change the chosen Taboo attached to it. When you break any of your Taboos, choose the Plead Forgiveness option, and fail your saving throw, you lose access to all of your Spell Secretsuntil you finish a Long Rest.
