MET Mechanics:
By taking a piece of the casters soul, the caster is able to invest this ritual to brutal effect at a great personal cost. The caster spends 3 nights in quiet meditation to center them. During the meditation the caster must concentrate on acceptance of their own demise. When complete the caster can, by killing themselves, cast a long-lasting curse and possibly even cause the death of an enemy.
System: Once this ritual is cast, it stays in effect until dispelled by some method or the target dies. To cast this ritual a permanent Willpower must be spent, though it may be repurchased as normal.
On any round that the target dies, he may choose to lay down his Death Curse. He may target a number of people equal to his permanent Willpower and a person may be targeted multiple times without limit. Each target must make a Mental vs. Mental Challenge against the caster (retest Survival), though the caster gains a number of bonus Traits equal to his Permanent Willpower. Both the caster and target may use temporary Willpower as a retest. Each success by the caster causes the target to take an unsoakable level of aggravated damage. Alternatively, at the caster’s (or ST’s) discretion, each success may be a one point flaw (cumulative) added to the target’s sheet for which they do not gain any points.
