Custom Blood Magic: Path

Spirit Thaumaturgy

Failures in Spirit Thaumaturgy are not recommended; the spirit of a botched summoning may turn out to be a Specter or may decide to follow the vampire around for a while to harass the vampire or worse.

Basic

Evil Eye

You can summon a wraith to harass a victim for a duration of time determined by a number of Mental Traits expended into the challenge.  You must defeat the victim in a Mental Challenge.  If you are successful, the victim must bid two extra Traits in any challenges for 10 minutes.  You may extend the duration of harassment at the cost of one Mental Trait per five minutes.

Spirit Eyes

You may attempt to see and communicate with wraiths in the area.  A successful Mental Challenge versus the wraith is required before you are able to see or communicate with it.  You may communicate with the ghost for five minutes for every Mental Trait you expend.

Intermediate

Spirit Slave

This power allows you to master a summoned wraith.  To use this power, you must win a Mental Challenge against the wraith.  If you win the test, the wraith is bound to remain and answer any questions you like, or perform any one task you require.  If unwilling, the wraith might opt to perform the task poorly.  An additional use of this power can force a recently dead wraith into permanently haunting the present location.  This effect requires a successful Mental Challenge against the target.  However, this effect can (at the Storyteller’s discretion) eventually wear off.

Sight of the Dead per Packet

Allows the caster to see and hear wraiths for x hours where x is the number of blood traits spent upon casting.

System: The caster must obtain dirt from a freshly dug grave.  While mixing in x blood traits, the thaumaturgist must read backwards from the Bible (“Ashes to Ashes…”).  He then must smear the dirt/blood mixture  behind his ears, and on his eye lids.

Variant from Springfield as approved by Joe:

Allows the caster or those they perform the ritual on to see and hear wraiths for x hours where x is the number of blood traits spent by recipient upon casting.

System: The caster must obtain dirt from a freshly dug grave.  While mixing in x blood traits, the thaumaturgist must read backwards from the Bible (“Ashes to Ashes…”).  He then must smear the dirt/blood mixture behind his or the recipients ears, and on their eye lids.  The recipients, while this is being cast spend 1 blood trait for each hour they wish this ritual to remain active.  It can be performed as a group, but the caster may not have more participants than they have levels of Occult for each casting.  Casting takes fifteen minutes
