MET Mechanics:
Drawing on the old Slavic burial rituals of Eastern Europe, this advanced ritual is designed to ease the soul through the transition into a peaceful and final death. By numbing feelings of unfinished business and alleviating a need to stay Rest in Peace prevents anyone slain under its enchantment from rising as a wraith. Likewise powers cast on those slain which attempt to call on the target’s spirit such as Calling the Restless Spirit and Learning the Mind Enslumbered will fail and Knowing stone will generate the same “unknown” result derived from a target of diablerie.
 
 
Rest in Peace must be cast prior to death on the same night the target is to be slain. If the target is still alive by dawn the ritual fades and must be re-cast. Rest in Peace may be cast at range if the caster has some physical essence of the target. The ritual itself must be cast under the arch of a doorway and over the the drawing of a halved circle. Additionally there must be a covered mirror covered facing the ritual with a container of water directly between you and the mirror. No ill may be spoken of the target in the immediate vicinity of the casting.
 
 
A red poppy flower, a dove’s feather, chamomile, aspirin, and the blood of a baptized infant are combined and crushed over a granite slab. The resulting paste is then applied to the target/sympathetic link while the caster concentrates intensely (expending a permanent mental trait) for the bulk of the ritual. After which a toast is made to the target that requires the ingestion of liquor. The ritual is completed by pouring out the container of water.
