Silence of Death can be the bane of any spell-caster and/or verbose socialite. As the Assamites became more prolific and began dropping this power for fun and profit, an enterprising Hermetic Magician began studying this sound-cancelling power and developing a work-around. Once enchanted and attuned to a single creature, this hollow spherical glass bauble between ½ and 2 inches in radius swirls with a color and motion reminiscent of the attuned creature’s natural voice. If shattered while the affiliated creature is under the effects of Silence of Death, he alone is freed from the effects of a single kindred’s use of that power for 10 minutes.

 

System: 

The item must be enchanted and attuned at the same time. A point of blood (of the person to whom the bauble is attuned) is placed into a bone china teacup, and the bauble placed in the blood. Ritualized chanting is required from the caster (and the person to be attuned if not the caster) uninterrupted for the casting time of an intermediate ritual (10 minutes). Once enchanted & attuned, the bauble can be activated by smashing (and thus destroying) the item when required. The attuned creature will have the ability to make sounds through a single user’s of Silence of Death. Only one Bauble may be active at a time per user/ caster (she chose to keep it at an intermediate level and restrict it to one use at a time per caster)
