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.
When this salve is applied to a Ward created by blood magic, it breaks it down into its separate ritual components, one at a time, destroying the ward. The salve must be applied directly to the ward, and if the user is of the appropriate creature type must take damage as He pulls each component out. Level of the Ritual is determined by the level of the corresponding ward. Example: Kindred = Intermediate
As distilled Persona, however the user gains one level of a discipline held by the Ab, not to be above intermediate level. If the Ab comes from something other than a vampire, the Milk of Set may only give a vampiric equivalent of a power the Ab possessed. The user will also gain the clan/tribe/etc. disadvantage of the Ab. This only distills one power, distilling a level 4 does not give you levels 1-3. This power lasts until dawn. Once the power is distilled, the Ab permanently loses that power as well as 3 Willpower Traits. This Milk of Set may only be used by the person who cast the Imprisonment Shrine.
Distilled with the use of an Imprisonment Shrine, this ritual creates an alchemical substance that when consumed by the caster gives them knowledge of what can be distilled from the trapped Ab. This knowledge is not unforgettable, but may be memorized or written down. This Milk of Set may only be used by the person who cast the Imprisonment Shrine. The knowledge is retained by the player's choice - the player can write a list or rely on memory. The information will be given once per casting.
Distilled with the use of an imprisonment shrine, when created this Milk of Set strips one Physical, Mental or Social trait from the Ab imprisoned at the shrine and gives them to the user of the Milk of Set. The Milk of Set also gives the user a negative trait the target had in that category. The effects last for a scene or an hour, whichever is shorter, or until the trait is lost. Multiple uses of this ritual cannot be stacked. This Milk of Set may only be used by the person who cast the Imprisonment Shrine
As Distilled Persona, except the user gains two levels of one Ability for a scene or an hour, whichever is shorter, or until used and the Ab loses two Willpower Traits. User gains Negative Mental Trait Oblivious while the Milk of Set is being used due to the whispering in his mind which provides the knowledge. The negative effects last until dawn. At Storyteller discretion, some abilities may not be targeted by this Ritual. This Milk of Set may only be used by the person who cast the Imprisonment Shrine. The knowledge is retained by the player's choice - the player can write a list or rely on memory. The information will be given once per casting.
Intermediate
The Follower removes their left eye, crushes it, and combines it with a mixture of their own blood and Milk of Set, then pours the mixture into their now empty left eye socket while offer prayers to Anubis and his daughter Kebechet. A new all black eye forms which the Follwer can now perceive Anubis' realm of Duat.
System:
The Setite willing removes their left eye and suffers one level of unsoakbale aggravated damage which they cannot heal until they end the ritual. A trait of blood is used with another dose of Milk of Set previously created. This mixture is poured into the Setites left eye socket and creates a ghastly all black eye. It gives them the negative Social Trait: Ghastly if the black eye is visible. Once the casting is complete, the Setite can see and hear Wraiths and the Shadowlands. While the ritual is in effect the Follower suffers from the Flaw: One Eye and gains the Negative Trait: Oblivious due to the uncommon viewing and hearing of wraiths.. The ritual normally ends at sunrise when the Setite goes to sleep or it can be ended early by removing the eye and healing the damage.
When applied to a individual this Milk of Set will nullify the effects of any Thantosis used against them, but only if the person using Thanatosis was taught by Fetus Kevorkian (Kenosha MM PC at the time of creation). Due to the fickle nature of the magic, only the caster of the Milk of Set or Fetus Kevorkian may use it. The protection lasts for one night. This ritual requires a blood trait from Fetus to be cast.
Milk of Set: Gift of Taweret
Advanced Akhu Ritual (6XP)
Made by Yoshua Daimon, Follower of Set, Citizen.
This unguent is based on ancient recipes of the goddess Tawaret, protector of mothers and children, made to protect against magic attacks.
This unguent is made following a formula which includes a mix of the alchemist blood (ritualist), hippo sweat (since Tawared is a god with head and body of a hippopotamus), sand, aloe, and ritualistics spices, praying for a half hour asking for Tawaret protection. Once finished and applied on the whole body, the wearer of this unguent is protected against the next Magic attack made against him until the next sunrise.
System:
This silvered unguent needs to be applied to the whole body, and can be applied to anyone, but needs to be done by the priest who made the unguent while praying for Tawaret protection over the target. After applying and until the next sunrise, the wearer is protected against the next Magic Attack (Blood Magic, True Magic, or Hedge Magic). It is necessary to define first which type of magic this unguent will protect against, and only one version of it may be active each time.
The next Magic attack, of the selected type, made against the wearer is canceled and has no effect, at this time, the ritual stops to work, and the wearer sweats the unguent in a hippo smell, taking on Repulsive x2 Negative Traits for the scene, or one hour (what last first).
This ritual does not protect against area attack, only attacks that have the wearer as a unique target.
Made similarly to a blasphemy shrine, this shrine holds a victim to distill the Ab (soul) of the target into a series of Milks of Set. This shrine is created with a living or torpid body. If used on a torpid body, the ritual holds the victim in torpor until its Ab is distilled, at which point the ritual ends and the body is reduced to ash. This ritual fails if the victim has undergone religious burial rites of any culture. Milks of Set distilled from Imprisonment Shrines have a normal shelf life, but bodies in Imprisonment Shrines are preserved until their Abs are completely distilled. The caster may only have one Imprisonment Shrine in existence at a time. Each Milk of Set distilled permanently strips at least one Willpower Trait from the victim. When the body has lost the last of its Willpower Traits, it is reduced to ash and becomes useless for any further magical purposes. The imprisonment shrine only works vampires and mortals (and ghouls). Other supernatural creatures cannot be utilized.
Thaumaturgy: Milk of Set: Intoxication of Venus (basic), Road of Sin pg 74
The Water of Venus is a headily aromatic substance, carrying a densely tangled scent of flowers and herbs and sweet resins with a subtle hint of vitae, dark red in hue, which the Citizens of Typhon Trismegistus give out in thinned form during the Aphrodisiac revels. Diluted in wine (or another intoxicant) and drunk it has an almost explosively sensual effect, heightening the senses and arousing the flesh to an almost insatiable degree.
System: After creating a batch of the Waters of Venus, the Follower of Set blesses alcohol or hashish with the Water, enabling Cainites to imbibe both intoxicants freely. Caintes suffer the penalties associated with alcohol (for every two "drinks" consumed, the imbiber gains the negative mental trait Oblivious and the negative physical trait Clumsy, dissipating in approximately one hour after consuming) and hashish (the Cainite gains the negative mental trait Oblivious and is up a trait to resist frenzy, dissipating in approximately one hour after consuming) depending on what intoxicants they consume. Each casting of this ritual creates enough Water of Venus to bless a dozen substances (a bottle of liquor, pound of hashish, etc).
