Custom Blood Magic: Ritual

Advanced Ritual

The Way of Spirit is a dangerous weapon in the hands of a skilled Koldun.  Through the use of this ritual, however, the caster can shield himself from observation.  This ritual requires a steel casting of a St. Georges medal the size of a silver dollar and attached to a brand.  The caster slowly heats the steel cast until it glows red and then stamps it to their chest over their heart, leaving a burned imprint of the saint.  Until the wound is healed, the caster is shielded from remote viewing.

System:  You must win a Courage test against four traits to cast this ritual, and it causes an unsoakable level of Aggravated Damage.  The ritual will remain in effect until the damage is healed.  If an area that the caster is in comes under observation by Way of Spirit, the observer must best the ritual caster in a static mental challenge against  the ritual casters current mental traits.  If the observer loses, the ritual caster does not appear in his vision and cannot be directly affected remotely.  If the observer wins then they may see and affect the ritual caster as usual for the next scene or hour, after which the observer must best them again
