Custom Blood Magic: Ritual

Soul Extension (int)

                Many kindred are able to affect others through powerful disciplines which require physical contact.  Few kindred have more options in this field than the Samedi.  Some find the need to lay hands on an opponent to be inconvenient, and it is with that thought in mind that new options were developed to deploy vamperic powers against a foe.  By enchanting an item, a hougan allows that item to use the casters vitae as a conduit to deliver so-called carrier attacks.  The enchantment lasts until the new moon.

                First, the hougan must prepare and cast the ritual, asking the Loa to bless the item he wishes to use.  From that point forward, the kindred may coat the item with a trait of his own vitae, a number of times equal to the traits of the item.  He may then channel any carrier discipline through that item, expending a single blood trait each time it is used.  Only the caster may use the power of this ritual, it cannot be enchanted and given to someone else to use.  Only one attack may be transferred per round.

                Use of this ritual is not without risks.  The vitae is not consumed until used, and if an enemy manages to grab the weapon and flee, they will have access to whatever amount of the casters blood is left on the item.
