Custom Blood Magic: Ritual

Advanced Ritual

This difficult but powerful ritual forges a connection between a large hewn stone and the Weeping Stone of the Lost Tribe.

Over the course of 13 nights the caster must bathe the stone in the blood of 13 cainites, each descended from a dfferent antedeluvian, and each must contribute 13 such traits of vitae and at least one of them must have tasted Zillah's Tears.  At the culmination of this ritual the caster must murder someone who loves them and annointed the stone with their life's blood.  This sacrifice cannot be a willing participant and their love for the caster must be independent of supernatural influences (Presence, blood bond, etc).

Once completed the stone will "weep" 13 traits of vitae slowly over the course of each month.  This vitae cannot be identified through magical means, and serves no purpose other than to sustain a cainite.  The vitae will pool around the stone and remains fresh until consumed.  Drinking this vitae causes the drinker to gain 1 point of Viniculum to Zillah, any other effects the vitae has are at the discretion of the storyteller but it is important to note that while the intention of this ritual is to create something similar to the Weeping Stone, this is a PC-level ritual and so is considerably less potent than the Lost Tribe's sacred fountain. 

Those with supernatural senses may percieve distant sobbing and pleading from the stone, often in the voice of the sacrificed victim.

Drawing upon myth and legend, this ritual allows the Hougan to create some protection against the supernatural with nothing more than a bit of brick dust. By crumbling a bit of brink from a building a spreading the dust across every  doorway and window, the Hougan creates a temporary protection from the supernatural. Any spirit, wraith, shifter, or vampire that attempts to enter the home must make a contested mental challenge (retest stealth) vs the caster’s social traits (retest occult). A failed challenge means the Hougan becomes immediately aware of the breach. Note that this warning crosses realms.

Alternately, the Hougan may take dust from the bricks of their own home and use it defensively against any Wraith, Vampire, Spirit, or Shifter. The caster may attempt to throw the dust into the eyes of an enemy supernatural, requiring a physical challenge (retest athletics). On a success, the dust blinds the target for 3 combat rounds, or until they take a full combat round to rub it from their eyes, whichever comes first. While blind the target loses on ties on all challenges that use sight, such as throwing or dodging a punch. Any power that allows for the increase of another sense may instead turn this into a 2 trait penalty at ST discretion.

Brute's Wrath(Intermediate Koldunic Ritual)

The Bratovitch, above all, seek power to survive the games and machinations of their family. Drawing upon the wrath of angry spirits, they may kindle their inner fire, increasing their physical capabilities at the cost of their own wellbeing.

System: This ritual requires a Self-Control challenge vs. 3 to activate. Failure means immediate frenzy, and the ritual may not be attempted again the same night. Upon successful activation, for the remainder of the night, the Bratovich may take an unsoakable level of Lethal to gain one of the following benefits: One additional Celerity action for a round, Free ritual retest on Physical challenges for a round, OR the ability to expend 2 more blood for a round. This may be done a number of times per night equal to 1/2 the Bratovich's Permanent Willpower, not to exceed 7.
All benefits last only one round in combat, and only one may be used per round. Outside of combat, this ritual's use is at ST discretion.

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).
