Custom Blood Magic: Ritual

With this Ritual a Master of the Path of Weather may utilize a Bolt of Lightning for later use.

 

System: An appropriate item must be pre-prepared to accept the bolt. A Staff or Sword is appropriate (though if a sword the Lightning Bolt cannot be released as part of a strike of the Weapon). This takes a week, with a series of challenges (one static mental challenge each night difficulty of 10). If any fail the item is destroyed and the process must start over again. On the last night a Permanent Mental Trait must be spent to attune the item to the castor. Only the castor may release her own Lightning. Once the item is created it may hold One (1) Lightning Strike, for each of the Permanent Willpower that the castor has. Following the rules of Lightning Strike (Advanced Weather) the castor must summon Lightning to the Rod. She or she will take 3 Lethal Wounds doing so, but the Lightning is also stored. If the Rod is broken the Lightning will harm anyone holding it. To release the Lightning Strike the castor must again follow all rules of Lightning Strike, save the weather requirement, since the lightning already exists.
