Custom Blood Magic: Ritual

Developed by geneticist and koldun Marcus Ruthven of the League of Oradea after centuries of studying the ability of the Nosferatu clan to “heal” fleshcrafted modifications, Marcus paid particularly close attention to the effects of Ebola and other virulent diseases on the revenant families.  A descendent of Andeleon who went mad when first introduced to the Cathedral of Flesh in the Dark Ages, he became obsessed with the “cure” after hearing his cousin Lambach’s stories of the Eldest.  This ritual “burns out” the discipline of Vicissitude from the target, including even trace amounts that remain in the blood from drinking the vitae of one who possesses the discipline.

System: The Koldun must spend an hour casting the ritual over the target.  At the conclusion of the ritual, the Koldun spends 1 willpower trait per level of Vicissitude that the target possesses, to a minimum of one.  These willpower traits do not refresh for an entire month; the Koldun is down that many willpower traits until the moon returns to its current phase, approximately the length of time of one month.  The target loses any and all levels of Vicisssitude.  Moreover, if the target possessed the discipline of Vicissitude, he gains a one point enemy: the Tzimisce Eldest (the Tzimisce Coordinator should be informed of this). If the target possessed level four or higher Vicissitude, this becomes a level two enemy.   Reacquiring the discipline of Vicissitude later does not remove this flaw unless Coordinator approval is given.  This ritual has no effect on blood bond or vinculum ratings.
