Custom Blood Magic: Ritual
Some chronicles allow for their players to develop customized powers for their characters. The following is a compilation of player created custom content in OWBN. At this time, custom content that is created and/or used by vampire PC's is required to be listed.
The world of Aye is the mortal world of flesh. While all life requires a connection to Orun, all strength is equally born of Aye and Orun, for without muscle, reflex, and form, even the strongest will would come to naught. By grounding the drinker more fully in the world of Aye, the momentary surges and weaknesses of strength brought about by will, emotions, and the coaxing of Orun fade, and one's bodily power is more fully governed by their naturally developed constitution. This concept has been a favorite of warriors for centuries, who have found various ways to test themselves against each other in pure physical competition, unfettered by the sinews of the other realms.
System: This brownish potion is created by chipping holes into a stone that sits in an unspoiled natural environment. The bezoar of a large mammal is then placed on top of the stone, and clear, natural spring water poured over it to collect in the stone's holes. The stone must then be elevated, and allowed to sit until it has both been rained on and then baked dry by the sun. The stone is then squeezed, and the blood that oozes from it forms this potion.
When consumed, the imbiber's Aye and physical form become ascendant. This potion takes effect instantly and then ends. All temporary arcane and spiritual effects currently effecting the recipient give way and are undone as their body's natural state is brought forcefully to the fore and their normal health is restored. Physical damage is not undone, and discipline effects, being of both Aye and Orun, are not affected, but thaumaturgy is. As a side effect of this potion, the imbiber loses ties on willpower challenges for the duration of the scene as they lack the will and resolve that stem from the world of Orun.
Consumption of this potion while "Sympathetic Disruption of Orun" is in effect will nullify both affects and cause the recipient to fall completely unresponsive for a turn, unable to act as the two effects consume each other and they are overwhelmingly assaulted with the feeling of pure Aye; frail mortality.
This potion only takes effect when it enters the system through consumption, which may be done once per combat round as a reflexive action. Forcing someone else to consume a potion requires an action and a physical challenge.
