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.
This ritual was based on a passage in the life of São de Bento, where the evil self tried on him, seeking his death. On that occasion, Florencio sent him a poisoned bread, but Bento gave bread to a crow that ate out of his hands every day and ordered the bird to take it away. Florencio, feeling victorious over Bento's death, went out onto the terrace of his house, which collapsed and led to his death.
In this ritual, the magician recreates the story of São Bento by blowing the macula away, depriving the opponent of his evil and victory. A consecrated wafer, a raven's feather and the magus' vitae.
To operate this ritual, the magus chants the exorcism of São Bento (or a banishment otherwise), in addition to drawing the medal of São Bento (or another object with symbolic force that allows this), with the raven feather soaked in his vitae in the wafer (other components can be used with symbolic force), then, once the target has been identified, the Magus must bite into the wafer and blow into the target.
System - The thaumaturge needs a medal of St. Benedict from the Vatican which must have been properly prepared with the exorcism of St. Benedict (A full day of preparation.) The feather must be submerged in 1 blood point, as well as the wafer. When performing the ritual, the thaumaturge must spend 1 willpower, eat the wafer, point the St. Benedict medal at their target, and blow the feather towards the target. Then, the caster makes a Mental Challenge against their target (retest Occult). If successful, the target gains the Negative Traits Distracted x 3, which may be bid against them on any challenge. The number of turns the Negative Traits persist is equal to the caster's occult level, divided by two, rounding down.
