Custom Blood Magic: Ritual

A Shepherd’s duty to protect the land and the dead often calls for aid in their responsibilities. By ritually sacrificing an animal, eating its heart, and burying it within their sacred land, the Shepherd calls forth a Delirium from the depths of the shadowlands to feed on the sacrificed animal and binds the Delirium to the Telyavelic Tremere. The Delirium remains in the shadowlands bound to the Telyav's sacred land and remains loyal to the Telyavelic Tremere so long as it remains fed. A Delirium is a kind of animal wraith; Wraith the Oblivion: Sea of Shadows p. 40
System: after the animal sacrifice, the character gains a Wraith Retainer with the Argos Arcanoi limited to first intermediate common and non guild specific Arcanoi, but uses animal base stats rather than mortal stats as per Wraith the Oblivion: Sea of Shadows p. 40, and may be called forth using Army of Souls (along with appropriate trait expenditures).
