Eurmal the Scapegoat

     I was mulling over Eurmal's functions yesterday, when it occurred to me
that Eurmal is also the scapegoat. Yet GoG lists no corresponding runespell
for this aspect.
So it occurred to me that there might be a Eurmal
runespell/feat "Take Blame". The effect of this is to ritually transfer all
guilt and blame for an action to the Eurmali performing the ritual. Thus
even a divination would reveal that the Eurmali had committed the crime.
This might be a good solution to a kinslaying. Persuading the Eurmali to
take the blame, though, is another matter.
     Can anyone think of a myth that would revolve around Eurmal being blamed
for something that *gasp* wasn't his fault?
