Touch Nirvana (Intermediate - 4)
The Cult of Lilith practices that through extreme forms of Pain and Pleasure, the Ba’Harist comes closer to the Dark Mother and reaching true enlightenment. The Methods for inducing such forms of Pain and Pleasure are so diverse and so limitless it truly falls to the creative mind of the cult member to decide what works for them.
System: This ritual is cast upon those who come before the Hierophant to seek enlightenment through pain. As masters of the Dead (including their) bodies, they created this ritual to assist in that. While most members of the Cult engage in such activities without this ritual on a regular basis (as their path requires such), it still is cast often by those in the cult who seek it. The Caster engages the target in a Social Challenge, retested with Torture (for pain) or Vamp (for pleasure). Success causes the recipient visions and feelings of ecstasy. It may even be cast upon the unwilling (though it is not a quick ritual, as you have to actively go through the actions to induce the result. Also this ritae in no way requires the user engage in the activities, though one could force them through other means.). The visions and enlightenment gained are largely run by the storyteller. The Mechanical benefits are as follows:
-
For the rest of the Night the recipient feels no Pain. They will not suffer any Wound penalties for the remainder of the night.
-
The recipient is considered one trait up on all Conviction challenges for the remainder of the evening.
-
The recipient will replenish 1 willpower trait, if they have no willpower to replenish then they do not gain this benefit.
