Ritual Name: Communicate with Bound Spirit
Ritual Level: Basic
Ritual Concept: This Ritual allows the caster to mentally communicate with an spirit inside an object, commonly a Fetish or otherwise possessed object.

By bonding some of the casters blood into an object they create a bond with it for a time, acting as a bridge to communicate with a bound or dormant spirit inside the object.

A ritually prepared object made of the same material as the majority of the object you seek to bond with must be used to cut the caster and the blood from the wound put on the object in question. Should the ritual complete correctly the blood will be absorbed into the target and a mental bond formed. The Ritual cannot compel the spirit to talk or be ended early leaving the caster at the whims of the spirits desire to converse for better or worse.

System: After successfully casting at the cost of 1 blood point and 1 willpower point the caster can mentally communicate with a spirit inside an object for 5 minutes plus 1 minute per mental trait spend on completion of casting - as long as caster stays within 10 feet of the object in question. The spirit inside is not compelled to give any answers but may be spoken with normally otherwise. No disciplines or powers can be used on the spirit through use of this Ritual. Once the ritual time runs out the blood absorbed by the object fades leaving no trace behind.

Rituals Limits: This Ritual does not allow you to command the spirit, even with Spirit Manipulation, or use other Disciplines and powers via the mental bond. Time Limit before the blood fades to prevent leaving a sympathetic bond behind. The spirit in question is not an the object so it would not be aware of its surroundings - thus cannot be used to similar utility as Wooden Tongues. I do not know if prerequisites are common for Rituals but I would suggestion Spirit Manipulation: Astral Cant to be able to converse with the spirit and not bypass the need for a Path to speak with spirits.
