MET Mechanics:

    The vampire scrapes mold from a tombstone or grave and boils it in an iron kettle with vitae and raw animal fat. Two cups of mold, one vitae per cup to be prepared, and one pound of fat per cup to be prepared are necessary.  There is an extended Static Social Challenge, versus 6 traits.  For every ritual challenge won or tied, one cup of available mixture turns a sickly gray-green and thickens to a quivering gel. Any leftover ingredients must be strained away before the ritual can continue.  Up to three cups can be prepared in one casting.  Finally, the vampire drips a single drop of his blood into the gel to awaken it. From this point on, the mold becomes a deadly flesh-eating fungus. It greedily devours living and unliving flesh on contact, leaving patches of naked bone where a growing colony abscesses and ravages all soft tissue. Even the caster is not immune, requiring his utmost caution in handling the mold. Typically, grave robbers decant the mold into metal vials or other portable containers for use as weapons. Each batch of mold lasts one full month, after which it loses all magic. Anyone splashed with the mold suffers Aggravated damage equal to the total cups that made contact with the flesh. This damage continues each turn, reduced by one level until the magic is spent. A maximum of three cups can hit a naked target at any given time and skin needs to be exposed for this to work (max can be lowered at ST discretion).  For purposes of resisting damage, treat each level of damage is a separate source.
