Custom Blood Magic: Ritual

Warding Circle Versus Fire

Description and Mechanics: This ritual works exactly as other warding circles, except it is for mundane and magical fire. Anyone attempting to ignite a magical fire in the Circle's area, will make a test against the circle, retest with the occult ability. The Circle has 10 static traits. If successful the fire lights, or otherwise does not go out. In the case of elementals or spirits, such creatures take 1 lethal damage a round while within the circle's area. Mundane fires will go out as if the ritual extinguish had been used on them the round they are started. In the case of a Magical Fire being successfully ignited within the Circle its effects will be felt without them being subject to another challenge from the Circle the following round. Example: Setite A uses a magical effect that lasts for more then one round. Setite A successfully wins the challenge against the Circle. The magical effect lasts for more then one round. It lasts for three rounds. The next two rounds there is no challenge against the fire as its a magical effect that was successfully cast. Round four the fire becomes mundane so the Circle puts it out as if the ritual extinguish is in effect. This Warding Circle can't be stacked in terms of it causing more than 1 lethal damage to elementals or spirits in the Circle's area.

History: Erik Reinhardt was put in charge of a Library. He was aghast at the notion that fire could consume what he was charged to protect. So he rolled up his sleeves and created this. Elements of the rituals Warding Circle Vs. Kindred, Extinguish, and Burning Blade were combined to create this.
