Custom Blood Magic: Ritual

(Intermediate Ritual)

While the Path of Biothaumaturgy allows for a great flexibility is the effects it can achieve, it is limited, much like the Path of Conjuration, with regard to the size and weight of the items created. This ritual gives the biothaumaturge more mass to experiment with. It requires the caster to set up a ritual circle around the central worktable the biothaumurgist uses to make her creations. The ritual circle is created with either shale or sandstone, held together with a mortar made of the other stone and the caster’s blood. After the circle is laid, and the ritual is cast to permanently enchant the circle, the thaumaturge may now, with the expenditure of an additional mental trait (over and above whatever costs or materials are used in Biothaumaturgy), work with creatures up to the size of a horse. Note that this ritual works in conjunction with whatever power of the path the caster is using (so combining this with Lesser Animation will still only allow a single command, but now they can be bigger lesser animations).

This ritual does not in any way alter the path of Biothaumaturgy in any way other than the size of creature that can be used in animating.
