Oh, for fuck's sake, Magos, an inanimate object does not count as a character.
Also, I don't recall seeing this ability on your character sheet. Which for something this powerful and having such an effect on everyone else is clearly not remotely reasonable. A power this OP needs the GM to be able to rule on it.
Additionally, you didn't give Lantz a chance to react. The ritual is presumably not short, yet you suddenly said "the character is captured" in one post.
