Custom Blood Magic: Ritual

Level: Intermediate

Materials Required: Sheet of Bronze

Discipline Prerequisites: Hermetic Thaumaturgy

Fluff:

In order to correctly perform this ritual, first the array must be constructed. A sheet of bronze must be acquired and modified. A series of depressions, arranged in a 5x5 grid pattern, must be impressed into the bronze. Any inverted or greater inverted bloodstone, placed within the array will display the direction and distance of where the sympathetic object was when the link was severed (by destruction of the target object/person or its removal from the same plane the bloodstone itself is on.)
If someone wishes to determine the direction/distance to the target of a functioning inverted bloodstone, it must be removed from the array, as the purpose of the array is to record and display the direction/distance at the time of the severing of the link.

System: While enchanting the array, the thaumaturge must invest their strength of will into the array (in the form of temporary WP). The investiture of will determines the length of the enchantment (see below). The array can be re-enchanted before the original enchantment fades (this resets the timer according to the new expenditure). Should the enchantment fade, the original constructed array may be used again; it simply needs to be re-enchanted.
