Custom Blood Magic: Ritual

 

The creator of this ritual calls it "Marquese's Milk of Vengeance" and rightfully so. This Milk of Set variant ritual can only be created by a Kindred on a non-humane Path, the presence of Humane thoughts tainting the creation of the final draught and rendering it inert. The ritual requires another Kindred on a non-humane path, a silver bowl, a black iron dagger adorned with various Egyptian symbols for rage, and the normal vestments of a Priest.

 

This variation of Milk of Set starts with the user provoking his own beast and then using Animalism 5, Drawing Out, to throw his beast into the other Kindred. While the other Kindred is frenzying, the creator begins the ritual, draining blood with the iron dagger into the silver bowl from the other Kindred. It is highly encouraged that the Kindred casting this ritual secure the other Kindred as the creator might be attacked mid-frenzy.

 

This blood is tainted with tiny impressions of the creator's beast. It is these beast empowered impressions which eventually invoke the draught's power. 

 

The creator may spend up to 5 Willpower while invoking this ritual, each Willpower spent allowing him to create a single draught which lasts indefinitely (actually 7 years, but one has never been kept that long to know that).

 

Each draught created gives the creator with a single Submissive Negative trait, up to a maximum of 5, if 5 draughts are created as they are being created. While the creator has a Submissive given to them by this ritual, they cannot regain any Willpower. After the last Submissive trait is lost and another full day/night has passed, the creator may then regain Willpower normally.

 

The blood in the silver bowl turns into an amber liquid with a salty taste, creating a number of draughts per the number of Willpower spent.

 

 

Draughts created by this ritual last for seven years. The draught requires no special preparation and when drunk by a human or a ghoul invokes the effect. The effect lasts for one lunar month (28 days). A small impression of the creator's beast hides deep in the drinkers soul while the effect is active. This impression of the creator's beast is undetectable, while the magic effect might be with appropriate powers. This effect is currently never been recorded before, and thus, not identifiable with any Lore.

 

When the human/ghoul under the effect is slain, he releases the impression of the beast trapped in his soul through the power of his death. Against persons on Humanity and Humanity-like paths, this impression causes them to automatically loose a point of their Morality Path. Against Mummies, the impression causes them to loose a permanent point of Balance. Against other creatures (Garou, Mages, etc) that do not have Morality or Balance, it causes them to loose a permanent point of Willpower. The only creatures immune to this effect are Kindred on a non-humane path or creatures with such a persuassive evil that the murder of someone is required by the ethics (such as a Black Spiral Dancer with 6 derangements and Monster as their nature, but as always ST descretion).

 

This impression of the beast can never take the last point of anything which it drains. The impression of the beast can only affect one being, starting with the closest responsible for the effected person's death. 

 

 

Example: A Mummy directly orders a Kindred with Humanity 1 to kill a person under this effect. The Mummy looses the point of Balance, as the Kindred (being at one Humanity) cannot loose his last Humanity this way.
