The shaman has learned to syphon the spiritual energies binding a fallen warrior to a Tsantsa. By uttering arcane blessings to the ancestors the shaman is able to draw forth spiritual energies of a Tsantsa into himself. Foolhardy shamans must beware as the energy they take from the spirit becomes a part of themselves. Tales are told of shamans exercising this ritual only to be destroyed by the spirit bound to the Tsantsa.
mechanics - By enacting this ritual the caster prepares a Tsantsa to empower himself. Once per night with the muttering of blessings to the ancestors the caster may call forth the spiritual essence of a Tsantsa into himself. For the next scene or hour the caster is up +2 traits in one category of traits (phys, soc, men). Taking in the energy of a vengeful spirit bound to a Tsantsa is not without its dangers. For the remainder of the evening the caster is -2 traits on all challenges involving the spirit bound to the Tsantsa. Due to the nature of taking a spirit's energy into themselves it is not possible for the caster empower themselves from multiple spirits at the same time.
optional - For many games Wraiths are non-existent, or the games' staff knows very little of this genre. To deal with Wraith interactions as an option when this ritual is used, Treat the caster as if he has the flaw: Haunted for the evening.
