Custom Blood Magic: Ritual

Advanced necromancy ritual

This ritual allows a Necromancer a quick leap into the Shadowlands.
Mechanics: The Necromancer chants over a finger bone that they have removed from themselves
for 6 hours, bathing the finger bone in 3 traits of their blood, burning a Willpower, and investing
as many mental traits as she wants into the bone. The finger bone in preserved by the ritual for
the duration of the casting but must be reattached to the spot it came from for the ritual to be
complete. Once the ritual is complete, the bone becomes a one-shot leap for the Necromancer
into the Shadowlands. When the finger bone is broken you make a static challenge of the mental
traits invested into the finger bone vs. the level of the shroud. If you succeed, you leap into the
Shadowlands at the end of the round. To return you just need to expend a willpower trait. You
can take with you only the inanimate objects that you carry. You cannot pull living or undead
creatures in with you. The caster my only use this ritual on himself for obvious reasons and if
more than one finger bone from the caster’s hands are prepared in this way the caster is down
one trait on all dexterity and blood magic related challenges including combat. Additionally, if
the finger is broken in combat, the effects still occur regardless of if the Necromancer is willing
or not.
