Custom Blood Magic: Ritual

# Tempus Edax Rerum (Advanced Koldunic Sorcery Ritual)

Possessors of this ritual believe that even forever isn't long enough.
By pouring a blood trait upon a 20lb or larger stone from their
homeland during the last light of day, they summon the power of earth
to create a gravity disturbance in a localized area. This disturbance
creates a swirling bubble of increased gravity in this area causing
time to pass more slowly within it. The ritual can be ended by the
caster at any time but it can only be cast at sunset, either requiring
a Willpower to awaken earlier than normal or the Merit "Early Riser".
It ends automatically at sunrise.

The gravity bubble extends 20 feet in every direction centering on the
rock. Anyone viewing the bubble immediately becomes aware of the
danger as an uneasy feeling that gets worse as they approach the
disturbance. Aegis must be expended to even attempt to pass through
the gravitational bubble as the extreme gravity attempts to rip apart
anything not supernaturally resilient.

Everything inside the bubble experiences time at a slower rate. One
minute outside the bubble is a variable amount of time inside it,
between two and twenty-four minutes, selected at casting time. Mundane
signals can transmit into or outside of the bubble, but experience lag
or compression depending on the direction. Inbound signals experience
extreme lag, and outbound signals are extremely compressed. This makes
watching television or making phone calls nearly impossible without
specially designed equipment to compensate for the shifted time.
Magical effects can pass through the bubble as normal but are affected
by the same temporal shift. For example, using Scry on someone from
the inside would make the person on the outside appear as if they were
standing still, whereas someone whom was using Scry on the individual
inside the bubble would see blurs of motion due to the compressed
time.

Vampires inside of the bubble must expend a blood trait every 24 hours
of percieved time, as if they were awaking for the evening. They are
also unable to regain spent Abilities or refresh Attributes more than
once. Anything that is usable only once per evening or game session
does not refresh until the character rests normally during the day.
