Custom Blood Magic: Ritual

One of the greatest strengths of House High Saturday is their ability to approach arcane puzzles from two separate vantage points.  This ritual represents the colossal success the House is capable of, combining the Tremere's expertise in Hermeticism and symbology with Necromantic knowledge of the Shadowlands and its procedures.  Inspired by Arthur E. Waite's ritual of the same name, this ritual confers the state of very specific invisibility upon the caster for a short time.

System:  The caster must take nine days to prepare this ritual, although the subsequent 'magic beans' may be consumed at any time thereafter. According to the House Grimoire:

"Begin this operation on a Wednesday before the sun rises, being furnished with seven black beans. Take next the head of a dead man; place one of the beans in his mouth, two in his eyes and two in his ears. Then make upon this head the character of the figure which here follows.

This done, inter the head with the face towards heaven, and every day before sunrise, for the space of nine days, water it with excellent brandy. On the eighth day you will find the cited spirit, who will say unto you: What doest thou? You shall reply: I am watering my plant. He will then say: Give me that bottle; I will water it myself. You will answer by refusing, and he will again ask you, but you will persist in declining, until he shall stretch forth his hand and show you the same figure which you have traced upon the head suspended from the tips of his fingers. In this case you may be assured that it is really the spirit of the head, because another might take you unawares, which would bring you evil, and further, your operation would be unfruitful.

When you have given him your phial, he will water the head and depart. On the morrow, which is the ninth day, you shall return and will find your beans ripe. Take them, place one in your mouth, and then look at yourself in a glass. If you cannot see yourself, it is good."

Successful completion of this ritual creates seven beans which, when one is inserted into the user's mouth, produces one hour of a special sort of invisibility.  For the duration of one hour nothing without a soul can perceive or react to the individual in question from a visual point of view.  Only through the eyes of a soul or spirit can the individual be seen.  What this means is that cameras, mirrors, infrared detectors, and any other sort of mechanical devise that recognizes individuals with light of any sort do not detect the individual.  Similarly, even if someone views the individual through the lens of an unsouled instrument they will not be able to perceive the sorcerer.  This facet means that binoculars, hand-held mirrors, scrying, eyes of the past, oracular ability, and any other such method to view remotely or with an aid to the prosaic eyes will fail as well if targeting the sorcerer during this hour.

The caster may only create one set of seven "magic beans" at any given time and cannot create another set until the whole batch (all 7 beans) has been consumed, one at a time.
