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.
Ear of Thoth: (Custom Intermediate Ritual)
The priest takes a circular piece of fine leather, no larger than two feet in diameter, stretches it tightly across a hoop, and anoints it with owl’s blood to become a listening device called an Ear of Thoth.
The caster can either concentrate on a known location s/he has visited OR a person; if a person, the caster must possess an object of personal significance to the target or a piece of the target like hair, fingernails, blood, ashes etc. (ear wax works particularly well).
Auspex or other powers may not be used while listening.
Once cast, the priest may not change the target of the Ear.
This ritual effect lasts for ten minutes, but may be extended by expending mental traits for additional ten minute blocks at a ratio of 1:1.
The Ear may be reused but must be re-anointed with owl blood each time it is cast because the casting uses up the blood.
