Custom Blood Magic: Ritual

Intermediate ritual for DAK.

Created by Olaf Magnusson McNeil, Sebastian Marconius, and Pagan

This ritual was created for the need to remove any sympathetic magical ties an individual may have to any objects including stored Vitae. For three (3) consecutive nights the Subject is forced to purge all blood from their system then ingest their fill in new blood (no old, purged blood can be ingested, or the ritual fails). Each night of the ritual, after the purge, the subject is required to rest in a shallow pool of new blood (does not need to be more than 5+ the subjects full pool in blood traits). 

Note: steps will need to be taken to ensure the subject does not Hunger Frenzy, if they do the ritual must start over from the first night again.

This ritual requires 3 casters to utilize, all of which must know the ritual and takes 3 consecutive nights, at 3hrs per night, to complete and is all the subject can do for those nights. If after that night’s session, the subject is forced to do anything that causes exertion (anything requiring the expenditure of a trait) the ritual is considered interrupted and must be started again for another 3 nights. 

Each of the 3 nights, the casters create a potent tincture of blood (the casters) and herbs that will aid the subject in purging the whole of their Vitae from their system while magically cleansing their body, making it ready for the ingestion of new blood.

The Casters are to have enough blood on hand to resupply the subjects whole blood pool each of the three nights. This is costly and quite taxing. On the third night one of the Casters must win a static ritual challenge, retest "occult" versus the amount of time since the subjects Embrace, in decades rounded up. If the caster wins, they then expend a permanent Mental trait each and the Subject expends a permanent Willpower. 

If successful on the test and both expenditures are made, all sympathetic links existing to that point lose their mystical tie to the subject. Such items, including Vitae, may no longer be used against the subject for anything that requires a "sympathetic Link". Any Vitae of the subject possessed by others and preserved both magically or mundanely is rendered magically inert. No form of testing will identify it as being the subjects, and it cannot be used against them in any magical way. It just becomes regular blood that can be ingested as normal. If they are used for "Blood Walk", no information is gained, as if the power failed. 

 This magical destruction of mystical ties does not affect any blood bonds that exist. Use of this ritual does not prevent the creation of new Sympathetic links by the subject. Also, this ritual leaves the subject Bloodbound to the casters, due to the ingestion of the tincture used.
